Frequently Asked Questions
Recovery from Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
You may experience slight temporary bruising near the injection site. However, normal activities can be resumed immediately following treatment. No heavy exercise, lying flat for the first 3 or 4 hours after treatment, easy washing of the face and no cream to be applied that night are the usually precautions recommended on the day of treatment. Results from muscle-relaxer injections usually take four days to be seen and up to 10 days to be final. Muscle-relaxer injections are temporary, therefore repeat treatments are required every three to six months to maintain optimal results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Anti-wrinkle injections have become increasingly popular for improving facial lines and wrinkles. The injections are a highly effective treatment that relaxes “dynamic” facial muscles. The treatment is quick and easy to perform and requires minimal downtime.
Who is a candidate for anti-wrinkle injections?
Anyone with lines and wrinkles around the eyes (crow's feet), between the eyebrows (frown lines), on the forehead (worry lines), or beside the nose (scrunch lines) is a suitable candidate for anti-wrinkle injections. These treatments can also be used effectively for marionette lines, chin creases, and any neck bands. You should avoid these treatments if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or are on medication for the rare neuromuscular disorder called myasthenia gravis. We can help determine if you are suitable candidate for anti-wrinkle injections during your initial consultation at our practice.
What can I expect from anti-wrinkle injection treatment?
Each anti-wrinkle treatment session takes less than 30 minutes. During treatment, targeted muscles are directly injected with a fine needle. Local anaesthetic cream may be used to alleviate the sting felt during treatment. A slight pinkness may be seen for an hour or so after the procedure. There is no pain or numbness, but you should refrain from rubbing the area for several hours afterwards to avoid dispersing the injection to other muscles.
When can I resume normal activities?
After your anti-wrinkle injection treatment, you may go straight back to work or light exercise without restriction. You will notice the effect of the treatment gradually over two to three days and it will not interfere with your normal activities.
Are there any problems with anti-wrinkle injections?
As with any medication it is possible for rare individuals to be allergic to treatment. This can take the form of a rash that may last for 24 hours. Minor bruising at the injection site may occur but can be concealed with makeup. There are potential site-specific problems (such as bruising or eyelid droop) that should be discussed with your injecting practitioner prior to treatment. There are no permanent side effects and no loss of sensation.

The Anti-Wrinkle Injections Procedure
During the anti-wrinkle injections procedure, a purified protein is injected in minute quantities to soften dynamic facial lines by blocking muscle contraction. These anti-wrinkle injections have been used for more than 30 years to treat irregular and involuntary muscle movements of the eyelids and face. Anti-wrinkle injections block muscular activity that causes facial lines and wrinkles and usually last for several months. These anti-wrinkle treatments take approximately 30 minutes and involve very minimal pain. Anesthetic cream or icy poles may be applied prior to treatment, and/or the administration of nitrous oxide gas, if needed.
