Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections use small doses of botulinum toxin to soften the expression lines created by repeated facial movement — forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, crow's feet and fine lines around the mouth. At AS-Dent Studio these facial aesthetic treatments are offered alongside dental care, performed after an assessment of the areas to treat. The effect relaxes the targeted muscles for a smoother, still-natural appearance.

Anti-wrinkle injections are a facial aesthetic treatment in which tiny, measured amounts of botulinum toxin are placed into specific muscles to reduce how strongly they contract. Because dynamic lines are caused by repeated movement, easing that activity allows the overlying skin to crease less so existing lines look softer and new ones are slowed. At AS-Dent Studio, which offers aesthetic medicine alongside its dental treatments, the appointment starts with an assessment of your facial movement and the areas you would like to address — most commonly horizontal forehead lines, the vertical frown lines between the brows (glabella), crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes, and fine vertical lip lines. The injections are given with a very fine needle and take only a short time, with little or no downtime; it is usual to avoid rubbing the area, strenuous exercise and lying flat for the rest of the day. The effect develops over the following few days and typically settles within about two weeks, with movement gradually returning over the following months so periodic top-ups maintain the result. The aim is a refreshed, natural look that preserves expression rather than freezing it, and the practitioner will discuss what is realistic for your features. Anti-wrinkle injections are for adults and are not given during pregnancy or breastfeeding; the practitioner reviews your suitability, medical history and any contraindications before treatment.
