Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
About Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
Developing fine lines and wrinkles is a natural and normal process of ageing. However, over time they can develop further and deeper.
As we age, the levels of collagen and elastin in our skin naturally reduces. This can lead to skin laxity and accelerate the prominence of fine line & wrinkles.
Sun exposure, dehydration, smoking and certain medication can increase the rate of premature skin ageing. Therefore, it is important to control these factors as best you can.
It is important to understand there are numerous brands of anti-wrinkle injections. Brands include; Botox®, Azzulare®, Boccature®, Dysport® and many others. However, at Magna we believe in quality and therefore only uses the world’s leading and most premium brand, Botox.
Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the targeted muscle, preventing its movement and in turn softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Anti-wrinkle treatments can also be used as a preventative treatment to reduce and slow down the signs of ageing. Anti-wrinkle treatments prevent fine lines and wrinkles from becoming more apparent and deeper.
It takes approximately 2 weeks for anti-wrinkle treatments to achieve its full effect. Therefore, it is important to bear in mind that effects will not be noticeable immediately after treatment. Anti-wrinkle treatments generally lasts between 12-16 weeks (3-4 months) but its longevity is dependent on numerous factors and is very individual.
