Are you curious about how anti-wrinkle injections can refresh and rejuvenate your appearance? At Eden Medical Clinic, we understand the desire for a youthful, vibrant look. This guide delves into the art of anti-wrinkle treatments, a revolutionary approach to turning back the clock on your skin.
Understanding Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections, also known as botulinum toxin injections or Botox, are used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. These treatments work by temporarily relaxing specific muscles, and smoothing out the skin above them.
Most Common Anti-Wrinkle Injection Areas
Let’s explore the top five areas where these subtle yet impactful injections can make a significant difference:
1. Forehead Wrinkles
- What: Horizontal lines that appear on the forehead when you raise your eyebrows.
- Treatment: Injections are placed across the forehead to relax the frontalis muscle.
- Result: Smoother forehead with reduced appearance of lines.
2. Frown Lines (Glabella)
- What: Vertical lines between the eyebrows, also known as “eleven lines”.
- Treatment: Injections target the procerus and corrugator muscles.
- Result: The softened appearance of frown lines, creating a more relaxed expression.
3. Crow's Feet
- What: Fine lines that appear around the corners of the eyes when you smile or squint.
- Treatment: Careful injections around the orbital area.
- Result: Reduced appearance of eye wrinkles, maintaining natural expressiveness.
4. Bunny Lines
- What: Wrinkles that appear on either side of the nose when you scrunch it up.
- Treatment: Precise injections to the nasalis muscle.
- Result: The smoother appearance of the nose area without affecting natural expressions.
5. Smoker's Lines
- What: Vertical lines above the upper lip, also known as “barcode lines”.
- Treatment: Very small amounts of product are injected around the mouth area.
- Result: The softened appearance of lines while maintaining natural lip movement.

Other Anti-Wrinkle Injection Areas
While the above are the most common, anti-wrinkle injections can treat various other areas:
Brow Lift
A non-surgical method combining anti-wrinkle injections and thread-lifting treatments to reduce wrinkles in the eye area and lift sagging or hooded skin above the eyes.
Masseter Muscle
Injections can help relax the masseter muscle, potentially slimming the jawline and alleviating teeth grinding (bruxism).
Neck (Platysmal Bands)
- What: AWI Neck is a non-surgical method of reducing wrinkles in the neck area.
- Treatment: Injections into the platysma muscle.
- Result: Smoother, more youthful-looking neck.
Mentalis (Chin)
Injections can treat chin dimpling by relaxing the mentalis muscle, creating a smoother chin appearance.
Depressor Nasalis (Nose Tip Lift)
This treatment relaxes the depressor septi nasi muscle to achieve the appearance of a straighter or uplifted nose tip.
Injections can stop the corners of the mouth from pulling down, creating a more positive expression.
An alternative to lip fillers is a Lip Flip, which uses Anti-wrinkle injections to relax the muscles and “flip” the lip upwards. This can also be used in conjunction with lip fillers for a more dramatic look.
For those who show excessive gum when smiling, injections can relax the upper lip muscle, reducing gum exposure.
