wrinkle relaxing injections

Wrinkle relaxing injections are used by millions of people around the world to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

When wrinkle relaxing injections are injected into the muscle, blocks nerve signals that allow muscle contraction thus paralysing the muscle. This reduces the appearance of the fine lines and wrinkles.

Areas commonly treated include the upper half of the face in order to reduce the appearance of frown lines, forehead creases and crows’ feet around the eyes. Injections to remove “bunny lines” on the nose and to achieve an eyebrow lift are also becoming more popular. These injections can also be used to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
