Introduction to Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
Anti-wrinkle treatments are among the most widely performed non-surgical aesthetic procedures globally. These treatments involve the use of purified botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and preventing the formation of deeper lines over time.
Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repetitive facial expressions such as frowning, smiling, and squinting. By carefully administering anti-wrinkle injections into specific muscles, practitioners can achieve a smoother, more refreshed, and natural-looking appearance while maintaining facial expression.
Anti-wrinkle treatments are minimally invasive, quick to perform, and require little to no downtime, making them an essential foundation skill for any practitioner entering aesthetic medicine.
Common Anti-Wrinkle Pharmaceutical Brands
Globally and in clinical practice, several well-established botulinum toxin brands are used, including:
Dysport® (Ipsen)
Xeomin® (Merz)
Jeuveau® (Evolus)
Nuceiva® (Evolus)
Azzalure® (Ipsen – Europe)
