COMMON SKIN CONCERNS

Fine lines and wrinkles form through repeated facial movement. Those lines which disappear when the facial movement is stopped, are referred to as dynamic lines.  Repeated facial movement over time, eg, repeated frowning, will eventually cause those dynamic lines to become permanent, then referred to as static lines. 

Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly known as Botox® act by blocking nerve signals to the targeted facial muscle stopping the muscle from contracting.  In this way, dynamic lines are reduced and static line formation is halted.  Anti-wrinkle injections can therefore be considered as both prevention and cure. In smoothing lines and wrinkles, we achieve a younger, more rejuvenated look. 

Anti-wrinkle injections are most often used to treat frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet.
