Anti-Wrinkle
Injections
Are you looking for a way to keep your skin young and wrinkle free? Revive Aesthetics uses injectable neuromodulators (Botox, Xeomin, Dysport) to achieve a natural youthful look.
Who is a good candidate for anti-wrinkle injections?
The proper time to start anti-wrinkle injections depends on the genetic makeup of a person’s facial muscles and skin. Frown lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts.
Over time, your skin ages, and these repeated expressions cause deep static frown lines at rest. Levels of collagen-the protein that keeps your skin firm- starts to decline as early as your teens and most women start to notice fine lines in their mid twenties.
Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are all approved for the treatment of moderate to severe frown lines. These products are safe for all skin types and colors.
​
These products work essentially the same way: they block nerve impulses of injected muscles to temporarily paralyze muscle contractions that cause wrinkles.
​
The result? Firm, natural looking skin that appears younger in just a few days.
Who should avoid anti-wrinkle treatments?
Clients experiencing any of the following conditions should avoid anti-wrinkle treatments.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have a skin infection at the treatment site
If you have a neuromuscular disease
If you have a known allergy to botulinum toxin

What can I expect at my appointment?
Revive offers a free consultation where we will review your medical and cosmetic history, take photographs and discuss target areas and cost of treatment.
While injections are generally a painless procedure, Revive offers topical numbing cream prior to injections for those sensitive to injections.
​
Sessions typically last no more than 30 minutes.
When should I expect results from my treatment?
You may notice a reduction or softening of wrinkles at the targeted areas in as little as a few days, but the full effect takes up to 2 weeks.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections will produce an overall smoothing effect of your skin texture and appearance for up to 2-4 months.
