Anti Wrinkle Injection
Anti-Wrinkle Injection Treatment in Bangalore
Wrinkles are a part of the aging process and with growing age, the skin becomes thinner and starts to lose elastin. The ability of our skin to protect itself becomes less as we age. Eventually, wrinkles, creases, and lines form on the skin, making it lose its natural appearance.
Anti-wrinkle injections help to smooth lines as well as wrinkles to get an appealing and rejuvenated look. If these wrinkles are left untreated, they become 'static wrinkles'. Anti-Wrinkle Injections contain a neurotoxic protein that acts as a muscle relaxant and works wonders on wrinkles, expression lines, turkey neck, and crow's feet around the eyes.
The procedure of Anti-wrinkle Injections
The injections are administered into the targeted muscle locations with a very fine microneedle.
When anti-wrinkle injection is administered, muscles in the targeted area are relaxed and the nerve signals get blocked. The muscles relax and stop contracting when the nerves are not stimulated, resulting in fewer lines and wrinkles.
Most parts of the face can be treated, with the most frequent being around the eyes (crow's feet), the horizontal forehead lines, and frown lines.
Within 5-10 days, one can expect to see results, which usually last for 3-6 months. However, we do not advise getting treatments too frequently because the body can develop antibodies, making the treatment ineffective.
What to expect after the treatment?
After the treatment, one can start seeing improvement in 2-3 days. But complete results will be visible in 2-3 weeks. It is important to keep the target muscles active for a few hours. The session takes 15-20 minutes to complete and it is a very quick procedure. Anti-wrinkle Injections are considered to be safe, painless and require no downtime. So, one can resume their regular activities instantly after the treatment.
Longevity of the results achieved with Anti-Wrinkle Injection
The effects of anti-wrinkle injection treatment can last anywhere from 3 to 4 months. Dr. Priyanka Reddy recommends to re-treat the area every 3 months if the patient desires to maintain the results. One can stop the repeat treatments at any moment, and if so, the treated area will revert to its previous state.

Difference between Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers
Both Anti-wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers are very popular non-surgical anti-aging treatments worldwide. Both the treatments are considered to be very effective but they address slightly different concerns and have different mechanisms of action. Neuromodulators are another name for anti-wrinkle injections. This treatment reduces wrinkles caused by muscles contracting in the same location. Fillers work by filling in the area beneath the skin. This method is effective for reducing fine lines and deep folds caused by age-related fat loss. The major difference is that Anti-wrinkle Injections work by blocking the nerve signals temporarily while Dermal Fillers work by providing hydration and volume to the treated area.
Ideal Candidates for Anti-Wrinkle Injections
One must consider the following points before planning to get this treatment:
How much do Anti-Wrinkle Injections cost?
Anti-Wrinkle Injections cost in Bangalore at DNA Skin Clinic is variable. These injections are priced per unit, so the final cost of the treatment depends on the requirement of units that are needed to achieve the desired look. Oftentimes, men require more units in comparison to women. In addition, different areas require different doses. Smaller areas and weaker muscles require fewer units, while larger areas and stronger muscles require more units.
Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections safe?
Yes, it is safe! Although one should ensure that Anti-Wrinkle Injections are administered only by a qualified health professional, like Dr. Priyanka Reddy in a safe and sterile environment. One is more likely to experience adverse effects if the injections are administered by an inexperienced doctor.
What is the right age to get Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
There is no specific age for this treatment. The best time to start with Anti-Wrinkle Injections completely depends on individual goals and circumstances. For some people, this means beginning in their 30s, when wrinkles can be seen even when the face is resting. Patients who are more likely to develop wrinkles as a result of genetic factors or lifestyle choices may benefit from starting preventative therapies at a younger age before lines become deeply embedded. Therefore, Anti-Wrinkle Injections can be considered at any age.
Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections hurt?
Anti-wrinkle injections have a little pinching or stinging sensation like any other injectable treatment. The majority of people do not require a topical or local anesthetic to relieve pain. But, if required topical numbing cream can be used to make it a comfortable procedure for the patient.
How long do Anti-wrinkle injections last?
Anti-wrinkle injections usually last for 3 to 4 months. The expected duration of results is determined by several factors, including the dosage given, the quality of the skin, and the degree of muscular use in the treatment area. When the effects wear off, the muscle reverts to its previous strength.
Can Anti-wrinkle injections be reversed?
Anti-wrinkle injections can not be reversed. One needs to allow the effects to wear off naturally.
Are there any side effects of this treatment?
There are no major side effects when the treatment is being done by an expert aesthetic injector like Dr. Priyanka Reddy. Some minor and temporary side effects of this treatment are bleeding, swelling, and redness which settle within an hour or so. Some individuals may experience a mild headache for 48 hours, which depends on the severity of the treatment. There is very little possibility of infection. One is advised to stop touching the treated area and avoid applying makeup for at least 6 hours after the treatment. Also, please avoid flying for 72 hours post-treatment.
When to consider anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are the most effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles. These injections work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles in the area being treated. Anti-wrinkle injections successfully diminish the appearance of fine lines, frown lines, crow's feet, surprise lines, and aging lines around the corners of the chin, mouth, brows, and upper lip by blocking muscle movements.
What is the composition of anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections contain a refined protein that works to relax the muscles around the injection site. This protein prevents the nerve from sending chemical instructions to the muscles, causing them to contract. Without these chemical messages, the muscles can stay in a resting condition and remain relaxed until the messengers restore. Because the movements that generate age lines and wrinkles are inhibited once the muscle relaxes due to the protein, they are no longer visible. This injection eliminates facial lines and wrinkles, giving a youthful appearance.
