How Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work?

Anti-wrinkle injections use neurotoxins such as BOTOX to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. When these muscles contract less, the lines they create—such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead creases—soften or disappear altogether. Over time, repeated treatments can even prevent new wrinkles from forming, providing both corrective and preventative benefits. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, anti-wrinkle injections work by addressing the muscle activity that causes wrinkles, making them an excellent option for patients who want smoother skin without altering their natural facial structure.

Your Consultation

Your consultation is the first step toward creating a customized treatment plan. During this visit, our team will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and assess your facial anatomy. Dr. Iyengar or our trained provider will explain how anti-wrinkle injections work, answer your questions, and recommend a plan tailored to your needs.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Treatment is performed in-office and typically takes just 15–30 minutes. After cleaning the area, a fine needle is used to inject small amounts of the product into targeted facial muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. You can resume normal activities immediately afterward, although we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, facials, or rubbing the treated area for the rest of the day. Results usually begin to appear within a few days, with full effects visible within two weeks.

Recovering After Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Recovery is minimal. Some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites, but these usually resolve within hours. Bruising is rare but possible. To protect your results, it’s important to remain upright for several hours after treatment and avoid applying pressure to the area. Most patients return to work or social activities immediately with no downtime.

How Much Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Cost?

The cost of anti-wrinkle injections varies depending on the number of areas treated and the amount of product used. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. Regular maintenance treatments are typically recommended every three to four months for the best ongoing results.
