What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections—commonly known as Botox—are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments for reducing lines and wrinkles. These injections work by relaxing targeted facial muscles, softening expression lines, and giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
This treatment is ideal for individuals looking to reduce signs of aging without surgery and with natural, subtle results.
How Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work?
The treatment uses a purified protein that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles responsible for wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet.
By reducing muscle activity, the skin becomes smoother and fine lines fade over time. The goal is to maintain facial expression while minimizing unwanted creasing.
