ANTI WRINKLE.

Wrinkle reduction is a very popular facial treatment for temporarily smoothing facial wrinkles. Wrinkle reduction injections is administered by tiny injections directly into the muscles that can cause stubborn wrinkles and lines. The injections blocks the chemicals that cause your facial muscles to contract, which results in them relaxing.

Detailed understanding of the anatomy of facial muscles is required to achieve the best results and needs to be combined with careful individual assessment. So the first step is to book a face to face consultation to review your lines/wrinkles and other concerns. Face consultation must be carried out before Anti Wrinkle treatment.
