Wrinkle Treatment

First of all, the patient and doctor decide on the area and the intensity of the treatment.

Then your face is cleaned and disinfected. Next, the injection points are planned and marked. Finally, the substance is injected into the muscle to temporarily immobilise the muscle and thus smoothen the skin.

Due to constant activity of the mimic muscles during facial expressions, facial wrinkles can form in the overlying skin over the course of a lifetime, for example frown lines above the nose, forehead lines or laugh lines at the corners of the eyes (known as crow's feet).

Since the injection reduces muscle contraction by blocking the messenger substance needed for this, muscle relaxant injections into the affected muscles lead to relaxation. Fine lines disappear and wrinkles smooth out or vanish, depending on their depth.

At HAIR & SKIN you can currently treat the following areas with a muscle relaxant: Mimic wrinkles for example on the forehead, frown lines, crow's feet, as well as the armpits in case of excessive sweating.

The effect of the substance lasts 4-6 months, depending on the patient, the injection site, the dose and the specific formulation of the substance used. The treatment can be repeated as often as desired.

Various cosmetic treatments can reduce the appearance of fine lines, the appearance of wrinkles, and creases. These include chemical peels and physical exfoliating procedures, with the two most common options being dermabrasion and laser treatment (also known as laser skin resurfacing). A more invasive option is the facelift.

In contrast to that, we at HAIR & SKIN have decided to only offer minimally invasive treatments with maximally natural results. Our injectable treatments include muscle relaxers as well as hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.

While skincare has limited capacity in treating existing wrinkles, it is an effective tool for combating early signs of aging and slowing down the aging process.

Anti-aging creams containing antioxidants can protect the skin from environmental damage by combating free-radical damage. It is important that these products contain a variety of stable antioxidants.

Other than that, topical Vitamin A, also known as retinoid, has proven to be worth the hype by boosting the production of collagen and thus lead to a younger appearance. Consistency is key here: It takes three to six months to see first results and twelve months to observe the full effects. Additionally, retionoids might make your skin more sensitive to sun exposure – which leads us straight to the next point.

According to a study published in the magazine Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, UV rays are responsible for up to 80 percent of visible skin ageing, depending on skintype.

While sun protection is crucial on sunny days, a sunscreen with a SPF of 30 for everyday use should be a staple piece in your bathroom cabinet to protect your skin from sun damage.

While these measures and treatments will neither completely halt skin aging nor provide immediate results, they can effectively slow it down and help prevent the development of deep wrinkles. Combining effective anti-aging skincare with muscle relaxant or filler treatments can be a great way to achieve smooth, plump skin that maintains a natural appearance.

Muscle relaxant treatment requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your everyday life immediately. However, there are a few things to consider in the days before and after the treatment. For example, it is advisable not to consume any blood-thinning medication or alcohol beforehand to minimise the risk of side effects such as as bruising. Before the treatment, your physician will explain to you how to prepare for the procedure and answer any questions you may have.

At HAIR & SKIN, your doctor will guide you through all the steps of the treatment, carefully discussing the desired outcome while ensuring that your face retains its elasticity and achieves a youthful appearance.
