Wrinkles are folds in the skin that appear with repeated facial expressions. Repeated facial expressions cause the muscles to contract and the covering skin to fold repeatedly. Repeated skin folds cause the skin to lose hyaluronic acid and create a permanent deep groove.
Wrinkles are primarily of two types: Dynamic and Static wrinkles. The other type of wrinkle is crinkles, and read on to know more:
Dynamic wrinkles: These are the lines that are seen only while making facial expressions like frowning, wondering, smiling, and disagreement. These are seen in the early course of wrinkle formation and respond very well to anti-wrinkle injections.
Static wrinkles: These are the wrinkles that are visible even while the face is at rest. These are formed at a later stage of wrinkling when dynamic wrinkles are left untreated. These wrinkles respond well to collagen-stimulating treatments like fractional lasers, micro needling, fibroblast therapy, and hyaluronic acid injections.
Crinkles: As ageing occurs, the skin becomes more photo damaged, and the elastin fibres break and give the skin a crinkly look even at rest. These can be treated by stimulating collagen, avoiding sun exposure and injecting hyaluronic acid of various densities.
Anti-wrinkle injections stop wrinkle formation by limiting the muscle contraction around the eyes, on the forehead, above the eyebrows, and on the neck and chin. Also, the anti-wrinkle injections relax the local small muscle fibres of the skin and make the skin look smooth.
Anti-wrinkle injections also reduce sweat formation, hence reducing the excessive sweating on the forehead, armpits, and hands.
The effect of anti-wrinkle injections lasts between 3-6 months, depending upon the basal metabolic rate and the person’s activity. As time passes, the body generates new molecules to make muscles contract. Hence, the effect fades away over 3-6 months.
When patients visit the clinic for anti-wrinkle injections, they are assessed for how many units they would need. The patient is also assessed for the type of anti-wrinkle injection brand that will be best for them. A numbing cream will be applied for 45 min to the area to be treated. You will then be injected at the area of wrinkles with a very small BD syringe containing an anti-wrinkle solution. After injection, antibiotic cream is applied, and the patient can return home or work or whatever the patient planned.
Depending on the type of anti-wrinkle injection used, one will see the results as early as 5-7 days, and it takes 10-14 days for the full result to be visible.
Wrinkles are caused due to repeated facial expressions, whereas sagging is caused by age-related volume loss and muscle resorption. Anti-wrinkle injections do not affect sagging.
