Time takes its toll on our skin, leaving behind fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of youthful elasticity. While these changes are a natural part of the ageing process, you don’t have to resign yourself to them.
One common concern that often appears as we age is the development of frown lines - those vertical creases that etch themselves between our eyebrows. But what exactly are frown lines, and how can Anti-Wrinkle injections treat them?
Let’s explore.
What are frown lines?
Frown lines form over time. Continuous muscle movement causes 'dynamic wrinkles' which only appear when the muscle is used, however, over time, if untreated, these wrinkles can become 'static wrinkles' which means they become permanently etched in our skin.
Frown lines may convey negative expressions such as anger, even when you’re not angry. Reduction of frown lines through anti-wrinkle injections provide a more relaxed facial appearance and smooths the skin for a more youthful and refreshed look.
The science behind Anti-Wrinkle: How exactly does it work?
Anti-Wrinkle Cosmetic Injectables are made from a purified protein that works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that create muscle movement. For instance, the inability of raising your eyebrows or frowning helps fine lines and wrinkles to soften and relax while also preventing future ones from occurring.
This incredible little treatment prevents the formation of deeper lines and folds or static wrinkles by stopping the signal between the nerve and muscle, helping you maintain a natural-looking youthful appearance.
What are the benefits of Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
1. Reduces and prevents wrinkles.
While the primary purpose of Anti-Wrinkle Injectables is to remove existing facial lines temporarily, they can also serve as a preventive treatment to help put deeper lines and folds on pause by stopping the signal between the nerve and muscle.
2. Creates natural-looking results and youthful appearance.
If you want to look less tired and refreshed, Anti-Wrinkle Cosmetic Injectables might be the solution for you. It’s an effective, quick and affordable way to reduce and prevent wrinkles that makes you look tired and exhausted.
3. Addresses other skin concerns.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections can be used to lift certain parts of the face to balance asymmetrical facial features. It can also be used to treat targeted muscles, including excessive sweating in the underarms.
4. Safe skin treatment.
The Anti-Wrinkle Injection is a safe, non-invasive treatment that can be effectively used in different areas of the face, such as forehead lines, frown lines, brows, crow's feet and bunny lines.
At Laser Clinics New Zealand, we use market-leading Cosmetic Injectable products that produce high-quality results. Our trusted team of Medical Doctors and Registered Nurses who have administered a million Cosmetic Injectable treatments worldwide ensures you’re in safe hands.
5. Little-to-no downtime
We know your time is precious, and that’s why Anti-Wrinkle injections are perfect for those who want to smooth out those lines without putting their life on hold. They’re a relatively quick way to reduce the prominence of fine lines, allowing you to return to your daily activities while looking rejuvenated and refreshed.
Minor side effects are quite common and expected of any injectable treatment (redness or flushing, swelling, or minor bruising) however, these tend to go away after a few days.
6. Treatments are tailored to suit your needs
We understand you have unique aesthetic goals and concerns. That’s why our experienced team of Cosmetic-Registered Nurses and Doctors approach your Anti-Wrinkle treatment plan in a personalised way.
Prior to the treatment, you’ll receive a comprehensive consultation and facial assessment. This allows us to understand your concerns and desired aesthetic goals fully. Tailored Treatment Plans are our bread and butter, ensuring yours is personalised and aligned with your specific needs.
Be it softening existing lines, preventing future wrinkles or managing specific concerns like excessive sweating or facial asymmetry, your unique needs and goals are at the heart of our approach.
How long do results last?
We understand that you want your investment in a fresher look to go the distance. After all, who wouldn't want to enjoy those wrinkle-free results for as long as possible? The good news is, you'll start seeing the effects of anti-wrinkle injections in just a couple of days, with the full impact shining through within a week or two.
That said, while Laser Clinics New Zealand’s wrinkle reduction treatment can help you reduce the appearance of these unwanted lines, the results are not permanent. Anti-wrinkle injections usually last for three to four months, with different factors affecting the results.
Your age, lifestyle choices (think how often you wear sunscreen, hydrate your skin, smoking habits (or lack thereof)) and even the specific area that’s been treated all factor into the longevity of your results.
Remember, at Laser Clinics New Zealand, we're all about enhancing your natural beauty, and that includes helping you maintain those results for as long as possible.
How often do I have to be treated to stay looking my very best?
Clients are very fixated on how long the effects of certain treatments last and for good reason! We want our hard-earned money to go the extra distance! The longevity of a treatment result involves so many factors — most of which have more to do with the individual than the treatment itself.
The same dose of anti-wrinkle treatment could last 3 months in someone aged 35 but 1-2 months on someone aged 60. Plus, the degree of efficacy can differ - people often compare their results to those of friends and have similar expectations. However, everyone processes the product differently because every body is different.
The best frown line/anti wrinkle results come from small, consistent efforts. Just like exercise or getting your hair done, you want to be "touching up your roots," so to speak, not waiting for your colour to grow out completely. It’s best to use small amounts of a treatment, this way every treatment is a minor touch-up. This approach gives the most natural result for any cosmetic injectable treatment.
What products should I use to maintain these results?
Those who are serious about making a real change to their skin will ask about at-home skincare. See, cosmetic injectables and skincare go hand-in-hand. While frown line or anti-wrinkle treatments give a relatively immediate fix, consistent daily skin care routine is an equally important part of committing to healthier skin.
Caring for your skin with proven anti-aging products before and after cosmetic injections can make collagen growth more successful. Also, healthy skin heals faster and bruises less. Our go to anti-aging range is the cosmedical skincare range by Skinstitut®.
You’ll want to look for anti-aging ingredients such as retinoids, antioxidants, growth factors, and peptides. These ingredients provide a daily stimulation of collagen and cell turnover, which helps make skin brighter and smoother.
How can you make cosmetic injectables a more comfortable experience?
Our team of experienced Doctors and Registered Nurses place an enormous focus on client comfort levels during treatment. Often, we find clients are so nervous during their very first treatment that they remain quiet about any discomfort they may experience. Little do they know we can absolutely ease any pain or anxiety you may experience during treatment.
While lasers and cosmetic injectables can have some inherent discomfort associated with them, we have so many tools to decrease pain, ranging from topical anaesthetics to advanced skin-cooling devices. Modern advances in pain management make non-invasive procedures much more accessible for those who can’t tolerate discomfort.
Ready to give that line a wave goodbye?
