The Blog Important Questions You Need to Ask About Anti-Wrinkle Treatments 

If you’ve started to notice wrinkles on your face, rest assured you are not alone. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and tone, and this leads to wrinkles and sagging. While some of us may accept this as part of the natural ageing process, if your wrinkles bother you there are highly effective treatments available that can reduce their appearance.

To ensure you have all the information you need before making a decision, we answer some of the important questions you should ask about anti-wrinkle treatments.

Why do we have lines in our faces?

We use our face a lot. Whether we are smiling, laughing, crying, angry or frustrated, our face can give away our emotions. As we make these different expressions, we use a lot of muscles. When you are younger, you have more elasticity in your skin, and it is plumper, which means that your skin springs back. However, as we age, skin loses that elasticity and becomes thinner, and those lines can become engraved into your skin.

Many people want to get rid of frown lines because it can make them appear angry, sad or frustrated, even when they are not. As well as this, lines on your face can make you look older, but there are effective treatments out there that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and give your skin a smoother appearance.

What are anti-wrinkle injections?

An anti-wrinkle injection uses a purified version of a naturally occurring protein. It works by blocking nerve signals to the muscle. By reducing the muscle’s movement, it means that the wrinkles over the muscles become smooth and disappear.

Anti-wrinkle injections can be delivered in lower and higher dosages to give you what you’re after. You could wish to remove the line altogether or minimise it.

By working with a qualified doctor or nurse, they will help you to ascertain the best dosage for you.

Why choose to have anti-wrinkle treatments?

There are many benefits to having anti-wrinkle injections. It can have a big impact on your confidence and give you more self-esteem to go out and face the world.

The treatments are also quick and take less than 15 minutes. You will also see the results quickly too, and they begin to show within 3-5 days and continue to get better for the next two weeks.

As there is no downtime, you can go back to your normal routine and your life with no interruptions.

When is the best time to start having anti-wrinkle treatments?

The choice is up to you, but many clients begin having their first treatments in their late twenties or early thirties. By doing it at this age, you can stop time in its tracks and prevent the first lines from appearing, and this can make it more effective.

What else can I do to stop the signs of ageing?

Like many things, a good skincare routine is vital for protecting your face as you age. Use products that contain collagen-building retinoids to keep your skin plump.

You should also protect your skin from sun exposure because this can lead to premature ageing. Ensuring that the skin products you use contain SPF is a great way to do this.
