How does anti-wrinkle work?
Wrinkle relaxing treatment is most effective when used as a preventative measure. Anti-wrinkle injectables are made from a protein that causes the treated facial muscles to relax temporarily. The treatment softens lines and wrinkles and reduces the severity of deep fissures or furrows in the skin due to repeated tension caused by dynamic movement made during expressions.
During normal facial movements lines, known as dynamic wrinkles, can appear. Repetitive movement over time forms deeper lines and folds known as static wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle injectables work to prevent the formation of static wrinkles by stopping the signal between the nerve and muscle. These dynamic lines will soften over time, following wrinkle relaxing treatment.
The minimised movement in the muscle puts less stress on the skin helping you look fresher and more youthful appearance, whilst maintaining a natural.
