Reduce the signs of ageing with anti-wrinkle injections – Premier Dental Care Team
Cosmetic injectables including both anti-wrinkle injections and dermal facial fillers are highly effective methods of pausing and rectifying signs of ageing and giving the skin a more youthful look.
Their popularity have grown over the years and continue to grow due to popular demand. Many people tend to ask what the difference is between the two as both offer similar results. However, despite what people may think, anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers are not one and the same, and each tackle different problems.
ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS
The main objectives of using anti-wrinkle injections are to treat and prevent facial wrinkles, mainly to help improve visible signs of ageing. It can also be used to treat migraines and certain conditions that cause involuntary muscle contractions on the face.
The toxin used for anti-wrinkle injections has been known for around a century, but this toxin was found to be useful for many medical problems in the 1980s. In the early 1990’s, this toxin started to be used for cosmetic reasons, and arrpoved in the early 2000’s. Since then, it has become of high demand for those wanting to prevent the signs and effects of facial ageing.
Note: The effects of anti-wrinkle injections are not a permanent treatment and its effects will wear off with time. The treatment can be repeated every 3 to 4 months, or sometimes longer.

DERMAL FILLERS
Another highly effective treatment option to help pause the signs of ageing is the use of dermal fillers. They also help to rejuvenate and beautify the skin to look brighter, more refreshed and youthful. Dermal fillers deliver natural-looking results helping with facial symmetry, lifting and contouring of facial features without surgery.
Dermal fillers are most frequently used in the mid-face area to help improve structure. This is the area on which so many facial features depend. However, dermal fillers can be used almost anywhere on the face to help reshape and plump, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, lips and eyes.
Dermal fillers are an injectable treatment that contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body which helps to restore the skin’s elasticity, tone and volume to the area being treated.
