Been away..
But back ✨
So let's talk about wrinkles...Why do they appear on the forehead?
1. The forehead muscle (frontalis) moves more than other facial muscles and participates in our facial expressions.
2. The skin overlying the forehead muscle is thin, with very little subcutaneous fat, meaning the skin is more fragile and vulnerable.
3. The forehead is an area which is exposed to sunlight and therefore more prone to photo-ageing effects on the skin such as wrinkling.
4. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol and a poor sleep pattern only exacerbates the effects listed above.
Taking the above into consideration, we can appropriately advice our patients on skin care, sun protection and making lifestyle changes which will help prolong the effects of their anti-wrinkle treatment. 👩🏾⚕️
So how do we help in all of this?
With this stunning patient, we used anti-wrinkle injections to relax her forehead muscles and the muscles in-between her brows to smooth out these lines.
❗️By relaxing the muscles, this prevents the overlying skin to crease.
❗️Overtime this prevents dynamic wrinkles turning into static/deep wrinkles!
Results can take up to 3 weeks for full effect and can last anywhere between 3-4 months.
This varies from person to person as people have different muscle strengths to start of with.
