Wrinkle Reduction Without Downtime or Surgery

Reduce wrinkles and look years younger. There are over 50 muscles in your face and we use them to create different facial expressions. Over time wrinkles form as collagen breaks down in these areas of facial expression. One way to reduce these wrinkles and stop this collagen break-down is to inject Anti-Wrinkle injection .

Wrinkle reduction takes away years from your face. The use of Anti-Wrinkle injection will diminish wrinkles in the brow, forehead and around the eyes (crow’s feet). It can also be safely used in other areas of the face depending on a patient unique facial movement and in the neck to remove banding that comes with getting older.

Anti-Wrinkle injection is injected into the muscles identified as responsible for the wrinkle in question and is used in very small quantities. Anti-Wrinkle injection works by blocking the receptors on the muscles responsible for initiating movement when signals are sent from the brain. Once injected, the muscles will relax resulting in the improved look of your wrinkles. A temporary block of that muscles ability to function occur keeping line from forming and allowing new collagen to build, further improving the overall appearance of that area.

Grappling with excessive hair growth in all those unwanted places? This is always an issue for men and women. With too much hair in all the inconvenient places in our bodies, we are likely to spend an excessive amount of money and time trying to remove the hair in places such as the arms and legs, and even on our faces.

There are traditional hair removal techniques that we can adopt, but these are not only inconvenient and time-consuming but many a times, painful. Shaving off the hair has an even more adverse effect on your skin. It not only leads to flakiness, but it can also cause excessive dryness in the skin.

Then there is the dreaded waxing procedure for hair removal. It is an invasive technique that will no doubt cause some problems on the skin such as skin irritation and ingrown hair. The threading technique of hair removal is not an effective one if you are grappling with larger areas of the body. The last solution is that of the depilatory creams but these too have their side effects and can leave ugly patches on your skin surface after the hair removal procedure.
