Anti-Wrinkle Injectables
Say goodbye to unwanted facial wrinkles such as crow’s feet and frown lines, and say hello to smooth, youthful skin with doctor-administered anti-wrinkle injections. At Aesthete Wellness, each patient is assessed, and the best product is selected for treatment.
How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
Anti-wrinkle injections involve a qualified doctor injecting a natural, purified protein into targeted facial muscles. The protein relaxes the muscles, softening lines and wrinkles. It does this by blocking the chemical signal the brain sends to the muscle to tell it to contract.
The effects of anti-wrinkle injections typically last for 3 – 4 months, so we recommend booking your next appointment when you see some movement has returned.
It’s important to know that it can take up to 10 days to see the full smoothing effect. Our team will provide you with post-care information, including what not to do directly after treatment. A 2-week follow-up is required to ensure optimal treatment.
Are you ready to turn back time?
With age comes wisdom, but age also comes with lines and wrinkles. While creams and make-up can help hide the creases, our anti-wrinkles injectables deliver great results if you’re looking to shed the years and achieve a smooth, youthful appearance.
Whether you want to fill in those crow’s feet or deep frown lines, relax your jawline or tighten an ageing neck, our skilled doctors will deliver just the right amount of product to achieve your desired look.

Have questions about our anti-wrinkle injections?
What exactly is in an anti-wrinkle injection, and is it toxic to the human body?
Our anti-wrinkle injections contain a purified protein that has been proven safe through extensive research and testing. The injection is administered precisely and pinpointally at very low concentrations into a specific muscle or group of muscles, reducing the spread to unwanted areas. Any medication or drug administered improperly can be potentially dangerous.
What do anti-wrinkle injections do, and what are the long-term effects of the treatment?
Anti-wrinkle injections paralyse the communication between the nerves in the skin and the brain. Over time, your facial muscles will naturally adjust, making frowning less frequent and reducing wrinkle-causing expressions. With regular anti-wrinkle injections, the injected muscles may weaken or shrink due to reduced movement. Still, this effect is limited to the treated areas and does not impact the entire face. As a result, your skin will appear smoother, brighter, and less wrinkled, enhancing your overall complexion.
What is the difference between dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections?
The primary difference between the two is that anti-wrinkle injections reduce the activity of the face’s muscles, which causes wrinkles. Facial hyaluronic fillers fill the trouble areas, stimulating collagen growth and plumping and lifting the skin to replace collagen loss. This helps your skin achieve a youthful look and eliminates signs of ageing that occur because of collagen depletion.
How painful is the procedure?
An anti-wrinkle injection is quick and straightforward. It has been described as feeling like a mosquito bite. The side effects are minor and temporary, and little or no recovery time is needed. The most common side effects include tenderness, swelling, redness, and bruising. No anaesthetic is required for the treatment, and one can resume normal activities immediately.
How often would you need to have the treatment done?
Every three to four months
Which areas of the face can benefit the most from anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are most often injected into the upper part of the face. They are most commonly used to perform a modest “chemical brow lift” or treat unwanted wrinkles caused by repetitive movement, including frown lines, forehead lines, bunny lines, and crow’s feet. In the lower face, anti-wrinkle injections are used to treat certain dimples and depressions on the chin.
From what age can you start getting anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections can be administered to people over 18, provided there is a real need for the treatment. Anti-wrinkle injections are an excellent option during a person’s younger years and have been seen more as a preventative treatment for developing deep lines and wrinkles. Get ahead of the game. It might help you in the long run.
Will anti-wrinkle injections give me that expressionless look?
The expressionless look is usually a result of an overuse of anti-wrinkle injections. An experienced injector would know how many anti-wrinkle units to inject so that you will look natural and not “frozen”. The desired result is for the anti-wrinkle injections to leave you looking natural and not overdone, avoiding the unwanted “frozen” appearance. When administered in the correct amounts, normal facial expressions can be made. Anti-wrinkle injections reduce muscle activity but do not radically change it.
Do anti-wrinkle injections really erase wrinkles?
There are two types of wrinkles: dynamic and static wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are wrinkles which develop over time due to facial muscular movement. Static wrinkles are a result of ageing and sun exposure. Anti-wrinkle injections treat dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the muscles, thus improving the appearance of these wrinkles. Static wrinkles, however, do not respond to anti-wrinkle injections. Speak to our doctor about treatment options to address static lines.
What happens if you decide to stop getting anti-wrinkle injections?
If you stop having anti-wrinkle injections, your muscles will lose the muscle-relaxing effect and simply go back to how they functioned before treatment. Once the muscles are fully active, wrinkles and lines will gradually return. The treatment effectively improves your appearance for three to four months. No damage to muscles takes place.
