Anti-wrinkle injection
Anti-wrinkle injection softens frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet while keeping your expression natural. Treatments are performed with a conservative, safety-first approach.
How it works
We use botulinum toxin type A (e.g., Xeomin®) to temporarily relax the tiny facial muscles that create dynamic lines. The effect develops gradually over 3–14 days, with typical longevity around 3–4 months (varies by area and individual).
Common treatment areas
-
Frown (glabellar) lines
-
Forehead lines
-
Crow’s feet
-
Excess underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis)
What to expect
-
Consultation: medical history, goals, facial assessment, and informed consent.
-
Treatment: tiny injections with a very fine needle; most people find it quick and tolerable.
-
Review: optional tweak/review around 2 weeks for first-timers.
