Line and wrinkle treatments ‘still a popular anti-ageing solution’

Line and wrinkle treatments ‘still a popular anti-ageing solution’


According to Dr Christian there are few better treatments for getting rid of dynamic wrinkles that appear when the muscle underneath contracts and causes the skin to form a crease – such as when you frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows. The injections temporarily relax the muscles responsible for these lines.


She said: “For many people, repeatedly making certain dynamic facial expressions can result in permanent wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet, which remain once the underlying muscle is relaxed. We have seen a dramatic rise in patients in their 30s and 40s getting [injections] to prevent these permanent wrinkles from developing.”
