Anti-wrinkle treatments are among the most commonly performed non-surgical aesthetic procedures. They are used to soften dynamic lines and wrinkles that develop as a result of repeated facial muscle movement over time. Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines, around the eyes, and other regions of the face and neck.

What anti-wrinkle treatments involve

Anti-wrinkle treatments use botulinum toxin, a purified protein that temporarily reduces muscle activity in targeted areas. Small, controlled doses are injected into specific muscles to limit excessive contraction.

Botulinum toxin works by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a chemical required for muscle contraction. When muscle movement is reduced, the overlying skin appears smoother and lines soften over time.

Areas commonly treated

Anti-wrinkle injections may be used in several areas, including:

Forehead lines
Frown lines (glabellar region)
Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Lower face and neck (selected cases)

Botulinum toxin can also be used to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), most commonly in the underarms.

Treatment duration and results

Treatment itself usually takes only a few minutes. Results develop gradually over several days as muscle activity reduces.

Typical duration of effect:

Facial and neck treatments: approximately 3-4 months
Hyperhidrosis treatments: approximately 4-6 months

Repeat treatments are required to maintain results, with timing guided by individual response.

Safety and considerations

Clear aftercare guidance is provided following treatment, and follow-up may be arranged where appropriate.
