Wrinkle and Lines – Injections
Wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process and tend to form when a loss of skin hydration and elasticity is combined with continuous muscle contraction.
Wrinkle relaxers, are made from a purified protein that temporarily causes facial muscles to relax, instantly softening lines and wrinkles and reducing the severity of visible wrinkles.
Dynamic wrinkles occur when the face is in motion, however, repeated movement over time forms deeper lines and folds known as static wrinkles. Muscle relaxers work to prevent the formation of static wrinkles by blocking the signal between the nerve and muscle.
Decreased movement of the muscle places less stress on the skin, helping you maintain a fresh and youthful appearance. This treatment is most effective when used as a preventative measure.
The areas that can be treated with line relaxer injections include:
- Forehead
- Frown
- Crow’s Feet
- Bunny Lines
- Mouth Frown
- Chin
- Eyebrow
- Lips
They can also be used for:
- Jaw Line Slimming
- Jaw Clenching
- Excessive Sweating

Am I too young to consider wrinkle relaxer injections?

How are wrinkle relaxers administered?
Using a series of small injections, your Face and Body clinician will carefully insert a fine needle into the area you want to treat, ensuring that the right muscle is being targeted. More than one injection may need to be used in each area to achieve the desired result.
