ANTI WRINKLE.

Anti-wrinkle treatments are a popular, minimally invasive facial procedure designed to temporarily smooth dynamic lines and wrinkles. Tiny injections are administered into specific facial muscles to reduce muscle activity, helping to relax lines and create a smoother, refreshed appearance.

At Nova Skin, Aesthetics & Beauty, treatments are tailored to your individual facial anatomy to achieve natural, subtle results.

Common Treatment Areas:

  • Forehead Lines: Reduces horizontal lines on the forehead.

  • Glabellar Lines: Smooths frown lines between the eyebrows, also known as "11" lines.

  • Crow's Feet: Minimizes wrinkles around the eyes.

  • Bunny Lines: Reduces lines on the nose bridge.

  • Lip Lines/Lip flip: Softens lines around the mouth.

  • Gummy Smile

  • Chin Dimples: Smooths a dimpled or "orange peel" chin.

  • Neck Bands: Improves the appearance of vertical neck bands.

  • DAO Muscle

  • Masseter

All anti-wrinkle treatments begin with a face-to-face consultation, where your lines, concerns, and medical history are reviewed to ensure safe and effective results. Booking this consultation is the first step before any treatment can take place.

The Treatment Process

A typical anti-wrinkle appointment lasts 15–30 minutes, although at Nova Skin we take an unhurried approach to improve comfort and reduce the risk of bruising.

Your treatment will include:

  • Medical history review and facial assessment

  • Discussion of goals and desired results

  • Informed consent and explanation of possible side effects

  • Application of numbing cream if required

  • Precise injection into targeted muscles

  • Aftercare guidance and follow-up

Results you can expect

  • Noticeable improvement in wrinkles within days to two weeks

  • Effects typically last 3–6 months, allowing adjustments over time

  • Subtle, natural results that maintain your facial expression

Downtime

  • Minimal downtime; most clients return to normal activities immediately

  • Mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at injection sites may occur

  • Temporary side effects such as headaches or flu-like symptoms are uncommon

Risk and Side effect

  • Bruising, swelling, redness, mild pain
