What are Anti-Wrinkle Treatments?
At Mickleham Dental we know the most effective treatments to refresh your appearance are anti-wrinkle treatments. Whether you’re dealing with frown lines, crow’s feet or even smokers lines, anti-wrinkle treatments will help to smooth the appearance of lines and help you get back your natural youthful appearance.
Anti-Wrinkle treatments are treatments that relax the wrinkles and fine lines on the face that form as a result of reduced levels of collagen in the skin or increased skin laxity, which are common for mature skin.
How do wrinkle relaxers work?
Anti-Wrinkle injections improve the elasticity and firmness of the facial skin. Treatments are minimally-invasive that entail injections of special serums into the skin. Most of these treatments are formulated with neurotoxins, which are absorbed by the nerves in the face and block the transmission of muscle-moving transmitters. You can think of neurotransmitters as a selective numbing of facial nerves, which ultimately prevent certain muscles from contracting and worsening the formation of wrinkles. Neurotransmitters effortlessly smooth out the appearance of the skin.
What are the Benefits of Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-Wrinkle Injections improve and enhance your appearance in several ways. They can reduce the signs of aging from the surface of the skin, resulting in a natural, youthful appearance.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections can also:
- Minimise or eliminate frown lines, worry lines, crow’s feet and smoker’s lines
- Treat gummy smiles – the area between your upper lip and nose, reducing the gum shown when smiling, resulting in a more aesthetic smile.
- Reduce teeth grinding and pain from the Temporomandibular Joint (tmj)
- Enhance skin texture by smoothing out dynamic lines and wrinkles created by repetitive muscle movement.
- Help prevent further wrinkles and fine lines.

Results from these anti-wrinkle injections can usually be seen within three to five days following treatment. The results will include relaxing facial muscles and smoothing of wrinkles on the face, which will help your overall appearance to look younger.
As the degree of improvement is different from person to person, most results from anti-wrinkle injections are known to last for three to six months. Your results may last longer if you use additional cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers or energy-based treatments, in conjunction with your wrinkle relaxing treatment.
We recommend attending your appointment make-up free, as this allows for safe treatment of the chosen areas. To minimise the risk of bleeding and bruising, it is recommended to avoid anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or aspirin, omega 3/fish oil for 3 days before your appointment. It is also important to not have alcohol or take blood thinners (if safely directed to do so from your GP) for 24 hours prior to your appointment.
