Anti-Wrinkle Injections
As we age, our skin loses elastin and becomes thinner. This causes the skin to crease and fold which is how wrinkles are formed and become visible as we age. The continuous folding and ceasing of these muscles causes “dynamic wrinkles” which are only visible when the muscles are being used. Anti wrinkle can prevent the movement of these muscles to prevent the dynamic wrinkles to become “static wrinkles” which are wrinkles that can be seen permanently without the movement and become etched to the skin.
This treatment is effective not only to help with the prevention of wrinkles from forming but also can help with asymmetry and non cosmetic procedures such as teeth grinding and also excessive sweating in the under arms and hands.
