What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections are a type of cosmetic treatment designed to reduce or eliminate fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing specific muscles. The most commonly known substance used in these injections is Botulinum Toxin Type A, a neurotoxin that, when injected in small, controlled doses, blocks nerve signals in muscles, preventing them from contracting.

Wrinkles that are usually formed due to muscle movement are named as dynamic wrinkles and are the primary target of these injections.

Some of the most commonly treated sites include:

• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
• Frown lines (glabellar lines)
• Smile lines
• Neck wrinkles
• Bunny lines (lines on the nose)

By temporarily reducing muscle activity, anti-wrinkle injections smooth out the skin and give it a more relaxed and youthful appearance. The effects usually last anywhere from 3 to 6 months, following which the procedure can be repeated to maintain the desired results.

How Do Anti Wrinkle Injections Treatment in Delhi Work?

When you are planning to undergo any cosmetic treatment, the most common question in mind is wondering their mechanism of action. The same applies to the anti-wrinkle injections too.

The wrinkles, especially dynamic wrinkles, are caused by repeated muscle contractions. For example, every time you smile, frown, or squint, your facial muscles contract, causing the skin to crease. Over time, these repeated movements cause permanent lines and wrinkles.

To reverse its appearance, anti-wrinkle injections are injected into a targeted muscle, which blocks the release of acetylcholine, responsible for triggering muscle contractions. What this does is contribute to a temporary muscle paralysis or relaxation, preventing the skin from creasing.

In short, when the muscle contraction stops, the overlying skin is smoothed out, reducing the existing wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming.

The effects of the injection typically take a few days to fully appear, with most patients noticing results within a week after the treatment. Furthermore, the duration of the effect from the injections will usually depending on the individual’s metabolism, the area treated, and the amount of product used.
