The longevity of anti-wrinkle injections depends on which injection and where the treatment area is.

It makes sense that qualified dentists would start to offer injectables to patients. After all, they spend years learning about the face, and about dental as well as oral health. Skin treatments for the forehead, crows’ feet, smile lines and lips are on offer at Dream Smiles Sunnybank.
What to consider when considering anti-wrinkle injections
There are a number of different types of injectables. Some are effective for smoothing out lines, others for relaxing, while others will fill out your lips. Anti-wrinkle injections can either be made from natural-based ingredients or synthetic ingredients.
Anti-wrinkle injections and fillers can last between 12 and 24 months
Anti-wrinkle injections will typically last 3 to 4 months. However, factors such as which area is being treated, how your skin reacts to treatment and amount of time you spend in the sun. Another determining factor is the number of treatment cycles you have.
When you visit Dream Smiles Sunnybank, one of our qualified team will assess your face, and determine what your desired outcome is. By knowing the health of your skin, and what you’re hoping to achieve, we can prescribe the best treatment for you.
A course of anti-wrinkle treatments can last up to 12 months, but this does require you to take good care of your skin. This includes staying hydrated, always wearing sunscreen and not smoking.
In general, it takes about 7-14 days after the injection for the product to take full effect. For best results, you should stop drinking alcohol at least one week before the procedure. Additionally, it is wise to stop taking any anti-inflammatory medications and aspirin at least 2 weeks prior to your treatment for best results and to reduce bruising.
You can expect that your first anti-wrinkle injection will last anywhere between 3 and 6 months. As the muscles slowly regain their function, the lines and wrinkles will reappear, and repeat treatment will be required to maintain your desired results.
The muscles in the treated area will begin to shrink over time because the muscles are shrinking with each treatment. As you continue on your anti-wrinkle injection journey, you should be able to go longer between treatments as the muscles in the treated area begin to minimize.
If you were to discontinue your anti-ageing injection treatments, the effects would wear off over time, causing the muscles to contract and the lines to reappear.
Factors such as how much you move your face, how much you talk, how often you are in the sun squinting, etc. will all have an impact on the answer to the question of.
How long do anti wrinkle injections last the first time?
The first time you have anti-wrinkle injections, you can expect the results to last for between three and six months. Results vary depending on how well you look after your skin, as well as your skin type and the severity of the wrinkles you’ve had treated.
Using anti-wrinkle injections regularly can increase the amount of time that the effects last for. Because it freezes the muscles, over time these muscles will become shorter and smaller. This can often mean that, if you have your treatment repeated regularly, you start to need fewer treatments with greater time spans between them.
When you’re thinking about how long anti-wrinkle injections last, it’s important to consider how many times you’ve been treated, as well as other influencing factors. Younger people with less depth to their wrinkles will usually have longer lasting results than those with deeper wrinkles and less elastic skin.
How long do anti-wrinkle injections last in the lips?
Anti-wrinkle injections for the lips can minimise creases in both the upper and lower lip areas, as well as elevating the corners of your mouth. Anti-wrinkle injections can also help lips appear plumper, can correct a gummy smile and can get rid of the lines that run downward from the corners of your mouth. But how long do anti-wrinkle injections last when used on the lips?
Typically, anti-wrinkle injections in the lips will maintain results for a slightly shorter time than in other areas of the face. This is usually because practitioners will be fairly conservative with the amount that is injected at any one time. The mouth is a very dynamic area of the face, and the last thing you want is a frozen expression.
As a general rule, anti-wrinkle injections in the lips will last from three to four months, although results will vary depending on your personal circumstances.
Depending on the dose and area injected, anti-wrinkle injections generally last up to 3-4 months. The only cases where it may not last the full 3-4 months are when:
The full recommended dose was not injected. This could be due to patient budget, or if a patient wants to still have movement after injection.
It is an area where it needs to be treated with a conservative approach, to prevent adverse events after injection. For example, the forehead muscle raises the eyebrows up. If someone has a weak muscle and is heavy on their upper eyelids, if too much product is injected, the patient could potentially suffer from eyebrow ptosis (droop).
In rare instances, the patient could develop resistance to the product.
