Inject or Not to Inject?

Post lockdown phenomenon is a sudden increase in the demand for anti-wrinkle injections. Maybe you are also thinking about ways to refresh your look and have questions about anti-wrinkle injections procedure.

We asked our Dr Gabriel Poboran, what he thinks about the procedure, it’s benefits, side effects, safety issues and is it a good idea to have anti-wrinkle injections treatment done?

The short answer is, yes, if you wish to achieve a fresh younger look fast and are not against injectables, anti-wrinkle injections could be a good choice.

Anti-wrinkle injections incorporate Botulinum Toxin Type A products and are used cosmetically for temporary improvement in the appearance of Glabellar Lines (“Frown Lines”) and Lateral Canthal Lines (“Crow’s Feet”) in adults by weakening muscles as well as blocking nerves in some instances.

Botulinum Toxin Type A is a natural purified protein and has been used safely clinically for over 20 years. The cosmetic use of Botulinum Toxin Type A is the most popular cosmetic medical procedure in many countries including Australia.

Despite a wide spread of anti-wrinkle injections treatments available in clinics these days, I always warn my patients about possible side effects such as  Eyelid Ptosis (drooping) and Eyelid Edema.

Your decision to have an anti-wrinkle injections treatment should be an informative one and involve a choice of an experienced doctor and a reputable clinic to eliminate the issues of the use of counterfeit products and lack of expertise.
