What are Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti Wrinkle Injections (known as 'Botox') are a popular cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a purified form of botulinum toxin into the muscles of the face to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles, causing them to relax and smooth out the skin above them. Botox is a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Aftercare for Anti-Wrinkle TreatmentsAfter your treatment, please remain upright for 4-6 hours (lying in a reclined position is acceptable, but avoid lying flat). Avoid wearing a headband or hat with a band across your forehead if you had injections between the brows or in the forehead. Refrain from intense exercise that significantly increases your heart rate (running, swimming, bicycling, etc.) for 24 hours after your injections. Walking or other low-impact exercises are fine. Do not massage or manipulate the injected areas for 24 hours. Washing your face and applying makeup is permissible. Avoid using NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, fish oil supplements, or Vitamin E for 24 hours after your treatment. If you notice any bruising, apply ice to the area for 15 minutes every hour to reduce it. The most common side effect is a headache. If it bothers you, you can use Paracetamol according to the package instructions. If you are a chronic headache sufferer with prescription medication, you may take it as prescribed by your doctor. They will gradually take effect over 7-10 days, with optimal results seen at 2 weeks.
