Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Deep wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines between the eyes and crow’s feet are caused by overactive muscle movement. This muscle movement gradually wears away the collagen in the skin, causing the skin to crease and wrinkles to appear. At Skinique Beauty, we specialise in anti-wrinkle injection for men and women - a fast, effective, non-surgical way to achieve a smooth and youthful appearance.
What is anti-wrinkle injection?
- Anti-wrinkle injection is a pharmaceutical preparation of botulinum type A toxin, a protein extracted from the naturally occurring bacteria, clostridium botulinum.

How does anti-wrinkle injection work?
- Wrinkles are caused by repetitive facial expressions triggering the contraction of muscles under the skin. Injecting anti-wrinkle directly into these muscles blocks nerve impulses from reaching the area and prevents further contractions. Consequently, the wrinkle-causing muscles become relaxed and dynamic lines are reduced, giving you a softer, younger, natural-looking appearance.
What areas can anti-wrinkle injection be used for?
- Anti-wrinkle injection can be used to reduce lines and wrinkles such as crow’s feet, lips and frown lines. It can also be used to reduce sweating in hands and underarms.
What does treatment involve?
- Treatment involves a simple, non-surgical procedure which takes around ten to thirty minutes.
- An initial 4-5 injections in the treatment area is generally needed for effectiveness and the procedure may cause minimal discomfort. Normal activities can be resumed very swiftly after the treatment.
How long does anti-wrinkle injection last?
- The initial effects of the treatment will begin to appear in 2 to 3 days but the maximum effect may take from 1 to 2 weeks to become established. The effects can last from 3 to 4 months and may last longer with repeated treatments over time.
What are the side effects of anti-wrinkle injection?
- The safety and effectiveness of anti-wrinkle injection have been evaluated in many clinical studies over many years, and are documented in the approved product information.
- After the procedure you may notice some swelling or redness around the injection points, which usually settles after a few minutes. Occasionally you may develop a small temporary bruise at some injection sites.
- A mild headache may also occur for 1 to 2 days. A transient eyelid droop may develop but this is a very uncommon event. Skin rashes including rashes at the site injection have been reported rarely and reports of itching are uncommon.
- There are unlikely to be any long term complications from the use of anti-wrinkle injection in the treatment of this condition. For details of potential adverse effects please refer to the patient Consumer Medicine Information available from doctors or pharmacists.
- Always inform your doctor if you develop any troublesome side effects. Your doctor will advise you on how to manage them.
Anyone can not have anti-wrinkle injection?
- Anti-wrinkle injection should not be used while you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It may not be suitable for you if you are taking certain other medications or have any conditions that cause muscular weakness. You should ensure that you bring any such information to the attention of your treating doctor.
How much does it cost?
- The price varies depending on the extent of treatment required. In general, anti-wrinkle injection injections are priced by the amount (unit) which is injected.
