The anti-wrinkling injections work by blocking certain neuro-transmitters, relaxing the muscles to be treated. Giving you an overall softer youthful appearance.
The full effect of this blockade shows within 2 weeks and lasts 3-4 months.
Dr Robyn Cupido provides Anti-wrinkle treatments with Botulinum Toxin (better known as brands Botox® or Dysport™)
Wrinkles are either Dynamic (those formed by constant facial movements, such as squinting, frowning and smiling) or Static Wrinkles (which are more permanent Lines and Wrinkles as a result of Age and deep untreated Dynamic wrinkles) Botulinum Toxin treats Dynamic lines and wrinkles by relaxing the muscles targeted and in doing so prevent those stubborn permanent static wrinkles from forming.

How long does Botulinum Toxin last?
Typically lasts 3-4months depending on how quickly your body metabolizes the Botulinum Toxin, full results are seen within 1-2 weeks.
Is Anti-wrinkling Injections painful?
We use an anaesthetic cream to numb the skin, minimal to no pain, with the smallest Micro-needles.
Factors that determine how much Botulinum Toxin you need:
🔹Muscle strength
🔹Your metabolism and associated illnesses
🔹Your muscle shape and size
🔹Personal Facial Aesthetic goals
It is important to have your Doctor assess your muscle strength as each patient's anatomy and muscle movement differs.
Some patients need more units in order to get a satisfactory result, a top up after 2 weeks might also be necessary especially if your muscles are a bit too strong and extra units are needed.
Regular top up anti-wrinkling treatments are key to lead to longer lasting results, results peak at 2 weeks and can last 3-4months depending on the severity of your lines and wrinkles
Prevention is definitely better than cure!
What are the side effects of Botulinum Toxin?
Muscle weakness, bruising, drooping eyelids, allergic reactions (rare)
Given in the correct doses and correct placement is key, less is sometimes more to give a more natural look just minus the wrinkles
