Anti-wrinkle treatments like Botox are trade names for Botulinum toxin type A. It is protein produced by a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. The toxin acts by blocking a the activity of a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, responsible for transmitting impulses that cause contractions of muscles. They are used as a non-surgical facial aesthetic procedures to temporarily relax facial muscles, softening the appearance of wrinkles.

We often suggest wrinkle relaxers for individuals who have visible lines even when their face is at rest, or who are prone to developing wrinkles in specific areas due to their facial expressions. This treatment helps soften those lines and delivers a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

A very fine tiny needle is used, making the procedure virtually painless.

It usually takes effect 24-72 hours after treatment, with maximum effect at about 1-2 weeks. Treatments to the face can last for 3-4 months and treatments for excessive sweating can last 9-12 months.

This treatment is not permitted for people with neuromuscular disorders like myasthenia gravis, patients taking muscle relaxants and antibodies such as aminoglycosides or if they have a bleeding disorder. The treatment cannot be administered to pregnant or breastfeeding women. It will also be avoided if there is inflammation or infection at the site of the injection

Anti-wrinkle treatments will not reduce fine lines on the face caused by sun damage, or lines caused by sagging of facial skin. In those patients, they may benefit from skincare that can improve skin quality and perhaps dermal fillers.
