Anti-Wrinkle Therapy
Within my practice I have chosen to use Dysport as my anti-wrinkle treatment. This is a product produced by Galderma with on onset of 24-48 hours and lasting up to 6 months.
What is anti-wrinkle treatment?
All anti-wrinkle treatments in New Zealand are Botulinum Toxin Type A. This medication has been around since 1970s and used in appearance medicine since 2002.
Botulinum Toxin Type A works by blocking the chemical signal between the nerve ending and the muscle, hence reducing the movement of the muscle and reducing the production of wrinkles in the overlying skin .
Facial Muscles
There are approximately 43 muscles in the face. They all have different jobs and factor into how our face looks and works.
By understanding how these muscles work and where they are located in your face, your health professional can manipulate their function to achieve the desired affect discussed in consultation.
