Anti-Wrinkle Injections

We have two types of wrinkles Dynamic and Static. Dynamic wrinkles appear when we make certain facial expressions causing the muscles to contract. For example, when we frown you can see lines in between our eyebrows (glabella). Wrinkles become static when we perform the same facial expressions repeatedly, eventually damaging the skin that results in the appearance of fine lines and grooves (more prominent as we age).
Benefits:
Anti-wrinkle injections can help to smooth out these lines and reduce the signs of ageing, as the muscles are relaxed temporarily.
