What Are Anti Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a non-surgical treatment used to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in the upper face. They work by gently relaxing specific facial muscles, reducing repeated movement that can cause lines to form or deepen over time.
​
By limiting excessive muscle activity, anti-wrinkle injections help to smooth existing lines while also preventing new ones from developing. This allows the skin to rest and recover, improving the appearance of static lines and helping the face look more refreshed, rather than frozen or overdone.
​
At Secret Skin, we use Alluzience anti-wrinkle injections, a ready-to-use product designed to deliver consistent and reliable results. This allows treatments to be carried out with precision and care, ensuring a safe, controlled approach and subtle, natural-looking outcomes.
What Do Anti Wrinkle Injections Do?
Anti-wrinkle injections work by using a purified neurotoxin to gently reduce the nerve signals that cause certain facial muscles to contract. By relaxing these muscles, the skin is able to smooth out, softening the appearance of lines that develop through repeated movement over time.
​
When placed in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows or around the eyes, anti-wrinkle injections help to reduce the appearance of existing lines while also limiting repetitive facial movements that can lead to new wrinkles forming. The result is a more rested, refreshed appearance, without affecting your natural expressions.
​
At our clinics in Hampshire, anti-wrinkle treatments are prescribed following a pre-treatment consultation with our in-house practitioner, Emily. Once prescribed, your treatment can be safely administered by either Nurse Louise or Emily, ensuring a professional and carefully managed experience from consultation through to treatment.
