  Anti-Wrinkle Injections: 
  
  Anti-Wrinkle injections are used to reduce lines and wrinkles that form in the upper face. As we age, changes occur at different rates to our upper, mid and lower face. In the upper face, ‘dynamic’ lines appear in the forehead and around the eyes when we smile or frown. These lines appear because various muscles contract to form different facial expressions. Over time, these expression lines begin to linger longer, or become deeper, even when your face is at rest (these are called ‘static’ lines). While a few lines add character, Anti-Wrinkle injections relax wrinkles causing muscles to help refresh your facial appearance.
