Smooth, Refresh, and Rejuvenate Your Skin
At Stirling Skin, we offer anti-wrinkle injections as a highly effective, non-surgical treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment softens existing lines and prevents new ones from forming, giving you a naturally refreshed and youthful look.
How DO Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work?
Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified botulinum toxin to relax targeted facial muscles. Over time, repeated muscle contractions—such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows—lead to the development of dynamic wrinkles. By temporarily blocking nerve signals to these muscles, anti-wrinkle injections reduce their movement, preventing the skin from creasing and allowing existing lines to soften.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a temporary treatment, and for optimal results, they should be repeated every 3–4 months. The first session typically provides visible improvement within 7–14 days, with full effects seen at around the two-week mark.
For long-term wrinkle prevention and maintenance, we recommend a consistent treatment schedule:
Initial Treatment – First session to target existing lines and relax the muscles.
Follow-Up Appointments – Every 12–16 weeks to maintain a smooth, refreshed appearance.
Regular Maintenance – Over time, repeated treatments may train the muscles to contract less forcefully, potentially extending the duration between sessions.
How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?
The effects of anti-wrinkle injections typically last between 3 to 4 months, but this can vary based on individual factors such as:
Metabolism – Faster metabolisms may break down the product more quickly.
Lifestyle Factors – Frequent exercise, sun exposure, and stress can impact longevity.
Muscle Strength – Stronger muscles (such as the forehead) may need more frequent treatments.
For best results, we recommend maintaining a consistent treatment cycle to keep lines and wrinkles softened over time.
Do anti-wrinkle injections hurt?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a quick and minimally invasive treatment. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild pinprick. The procedure usually takes 10–15 minutes, and a numbing cream is not typically required.
Is there any downtime from anti-wrinkle injections?
There is no major downtime, and most clients return to daily activities immediately after treatment. Some may experience minor redness, swelling, or tiny bumps at the injection sites, which settle within a few hours.
What is the aftercare for anti-wrinkle injections like?
Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for 6 hours.
Refrain from intense exercise, saunas, and lying flat for 24 hours.
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (e.g. ibuprofen) for 24 hours to reduce bruising.
