Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Everything you need to know about the treatment your Innerskin doctor has recommended: how it works, what to expect, and how to look after your skin afterwards.
- Treatment Wrinkle-relaxing injections, administered by an Innerskin doctor
- Duration Around 30 minutes
- Sensation Brief pinpricks at the injection points
- Downtime Minimal – small marks or redness at the injection points for a few hours
- Results Appear after a few days, full effect after around 2 weeks
- Duration of effect Usually around 3 to 4 months
- Effect appears 3 to 5 days after treatment
- Full effect after around 2 weeks, checked at your review appointment
- Effect usually lasts 3 to 4 months, then gradually wears off
Results vary from person to person, depending on the area, the dose and your muscles.
The treatment may be suitable for adults who wish to soften:
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow's feet at the corners of the eyes
It is only carried out after a face-to-face consultation, once your doctor has confirmed that it is suitable for you.
Anti-wrinkle injections place very small amounts into specific facial muscles to gently relax them, temporarily easing the movement that forms expression lines.
Expression lines are created by the repeated contraction of these muscles. By relaxing them, the treatment softens the appearance of lines when you make facial expressions, and helps prevent them from deepening at rest.
The effect is temporary and gradual: muscle activity returns over the following months, which is why treatment is usually repeated a few times a year.
Your Innerskin doctor maps the areas, the injection points and the dose to your facial anatomy, your muscles and the result you are looking for. With conservative dosing, the aim is a natural-looking result that keeps your expressions your own.
Forehead lines are the horizontal lines that appear when you raise your eyebrows. They are caused by the frontalis muscle, which lifts the brows.
Your doctor injects small amounts at several points across the forehead, in balance with the treatment of the frown area, to soften the lines while keeping natural movement of the brows.
Frown lines are the vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called the “elevens”. They are caused by the muscles that bring the eyebrows together and down when you frown.
This is the most commonly treated area. Your doctor injects precise points between and above the eyebrows to soften these lines and the tired or stern look they can give.
Crow's feet are the fine lines that radiate from the outer corners of the eyes when you smile or squint. They are caused by the orbicularis oculi muscle, which closes the eyes.
Your doctor injects small amounts at the outer corner of each eye, taking care to preserve a natural smile.
