ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENT
Anti-Wrinkle injections have been the gold standard in maintaining a youthful and radiant appearance.
Using FDA approved Anti-Wrinkle Injections to temporarily relax targeted muscles of facial expression will softening any existing wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming. Preventing these prevents them becoming permanent with time.
Yasmin’s anti-wrinkle treatments are a personalised regimen for each individual patient and medically administered to create a "lifting effect" or "dropping effect" by treating the action of the opposing muscles.
These treatments can also be used to slim muscles such as the Masseter to create a slimmer jawline (V-shaped face) to enhance your beauty and elegance.
This process temporarily immobilizes the muscle, diminishing the effects of facial movements. The procedure takes just 15 minutes, with visible results appearing within 2 weeks, leaving your face looking more refreshed than ever!
Anti-wrinkle treatment isn't just for beauty. It also treats medical conditions such as excessive sweating and teeth grinding, which is also provided at BAYUTY Medical.
Each treatment comes with a complementary follow up where a top-up (if needed) will be administered free of charge at the discretion of the injector.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does anti-wrinkle treatment treat wrinkles?
Repeated facial muscle contractions during expression cause wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle treatment blocks the nerve signals that cause the muscles to contract. This is done by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that sends signals from nerves to muscles which prevents movement. After 3-4 months, new nerve pathways are formed known as neurosprouting, allowing the muscles to go back to its original form and this why anti-wrinkle treatment is repeated.
How do I know if I'm suitable for anti-wrinkle treatment?
We are unable to treat anyone below the age of 18, pregnant or breastfeeding and patients with certain medical conditions such as Myasthenia Gravis, ALS or Lambert Eaton Syndrome. For more information contact us.
How can I prepare for my treatment?
Inform us as early as possible if you have any medical conditions or taking any medication as it will affect the treatment.Avoid consuming alcohol at least 24 hours before or undergo any invasive skin procedures at least 5 days before your appointment, as it can increase the risk of bruising, swelling and irritation. Avoid coming in with full face of make-up.Please read the “before and after care”
What happens during the treatment?
After the consultation, photographs will be taken but kept confidential for our records. Your skin will be cleaned and prepped. Numbing cream is not usually applied but can be opted if you prefer. Anti-wrinkle treatment will be administered gently on the targeted muscles, the amount depending on your treatment plan. Once the treatment is completed, you will be provided with aftercare instructions. Please ensure you allow at least 2 hours for your treatment; in case we need to keep you in for any observation after treatment.
After care for anti-wrinkle treatment?
Avoid lying down or bending over for at least 4 hours after the treatment to prevent the treatment from migrating. Avoid touching or rubbing, alcohol, make-up at least 24 hours after treatment. Avoid high intensity exercises, sauna or steam room at least 5 days after treatment. Please read the information sheet you will be provided with after your treatment and feel free to always contact us if you have any questions.
What are the potential side effects or complications?
Anti-wrinkle treatments are considered exceptionally safe if injected correctly. There may be tiny blebs on your skin at the site of injection that will subside in 24 hours. Bruising, redness and swelling may occur, but they are usually very mild and temporary. More serious side effects are rare but can include a drooping of the eyelids or other parts of the face or body, headache and flu-like symptoms. There could also be a risk of over treatment or under treatment, which can all be addressed and managed at your complimentary follow up session. Please inform within 14 days or 28 days (masseter reduction, trap-tox treatment, hyperhidrosis treatment) after initial treatment if you opt for a follow-up, otherwise it may be treated as a new treatment.
Will my wrinkles worsen if I stop getting anti-wrinkle treatment?
Stopping anti-wrinkle treatment does not accelerate the formation of new wrinkles or make existing ones worse. It simply means that the treated areas will revert to their natural state prior to the treatment. On the other hand, getting regular anti-wrinkle treatment will not cause you to be "immune" to the treatment. Each treatment should be spaced appropriately with precise dosages for the best long-term results. This is where Yasmin will advise you on the best treatment plan for you, because no two patients are treated the same.
