ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS.
LuxLab
Cosmetic Injectibles
Anti-wrinkle injections are composed of a naturally occurring protein that is injected into targeted facial muscles that cause wrinkles. Over time, the medication disrupts the transmission of signals from nerve to muscle causing the muscle to become more relaxed, restoring a more youthful appearance as skin appears smoother. The actual treatment takes about 10 mins and is relatively painless.

A series of small injections, with a very fine needle are used to inject the targeted facial muscles with a small amount anti-wrinkle solution. Discomfort is minimal and brief, many refer to it as a short sting. After the procedure, it takes about 3-7 days to notice initial changes and up to 14 days for the full results to be seen.

Most frequent questions and answers
Frown Lines
Frown lines are the vertical lines that appear in your forehead when angry or concentrating that can become permanent even at rest. Anti-wrinkle injections, using a very fine needle can soften and prevent these lines.
Brow Lift
Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to relax the muscles and improve the position and shape of the eye brow creating a subtle, natural looking brow lift.
Dimpled Chin (Mentalis)
As we age our chin muscle curls upwards, potentially creating dimples and a crease in the chin. Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to create a more elongated, smooth chin.
Excessive sweating or Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is characterised by abnormally increased sweating in the axilla (underarms), in excess of what is needed to regulate body temperature. It can be socially embarrassing and affect a person’s self-esteem. Botulinum Toxin Type A has been proven to treat excessive underarm sweating. Once injected, Botulinum Toxin Type A stops the sympathetic nerves (which normally control sweating) from stimulating the sweat glands thereby reducing the amount of sweat produced. The procedure takes approximately 20 minutes and the effects last on average 6 to 9 months. Patients have reported an improved quality of life following their treatments.
Bunny Lines
Also known as nasal or nose lines where fine wrinkles appear when a person scrunches up their nose, typically when laughing or smiling. Over time these lines can become etched into the skin. Using a very fine needle anti-wrinkle injections to each side of the nose and just below the bridge can soften and smooth these lines.
Nefertiti Neck Lift
Platysma bands in our neck shorten and can pull down our jawline as we get older. Treatment with anti-wrinkle injections relaxes and lengthens these bands, thereby improving the appearance of the neck and jawline and restoring a more youthful appearance.
Downward Turning of the Mouth (DAO)
Whether its genetics or the ageing process, the corners of the mouth begin to turn down over time creating a ‘sad’ face. Loss of skin elasticity can contribute to the development of ‘marionette’ lines in the lower face. Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to lessen the downward turning. Often clients do this preventatively.
Forehead Lines
Forehead lines are the horizontal lines that occur when raising your eyebrows. Careful placement of injections into the frontalis creates a softer more youthful appearance.
Lip Lines
Otherwise known as ‘smokers lines,’ these vertical lines develop with age due to pouting, drinking or kissing. Occasionally these lines can be genetic. Anti-wrinkle injections can relax the muscle, thereby softening these lines.
Facial Slimming
If you are a ‘teeth grinder’ this can contribute to the development of a square or round face due to enlarged masseter muscles and sometimes associated with TMJ orofacial pain. Heart shaped faces are considered more attractive and feminine. Anti-wrinkle injections to the masseter muscles relaxes and reduces the size of the muscle thereby slimming the face, creating a more desirable heart shaped/angular face and alleviating teeth grinding and/or TMJ pain. Not all clients are suitable candidates for facial slimming therefore each patient is assessed individually.
Gummy Smile
Genetically some people show a large area of gum above their upper teeth when smiling. Carefully placed anti-wrinkle injections can subtly relax the muscles that raise the upper lip thereby preventing an excessive display of gum and creating the appearance of a subtle fuller top lip. Not all clients are suitable candidates for this treatment, so each patient is carefully assessed to achieve the best possible aesthetic result.
Crows Feet
Wrinkles around the eyes also known as crows feet occur when using the orbicularis muscle and can become permanently etched into your skin over time, even when not smiling. Carefully placed injections, using a fine needle around the outside of the eye softens and smooths the lines whilst maintaining natural expression.
