Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections (such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and NUCEIVA) help relax targeted facial muscles to soften the appearance of fine lines and prevent deeper wrinkles from forming over time. Treatments are quick, customized to your features, and designed to deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
What are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified form of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce moderate to severe lines and wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement (frowning, squinting, smiling). Very low doses are injected directly into the muscles responsible for those lines. By blocking the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, the overlying skin gradually relaxes and softens, often significantly reducing the appearance of lines.
