What are Anti-wrinkle injections?
A purified protein that is produced under sterile conditions(much like the antibiotic penicillin ) is injected into certain muscles with specific doses to stop the movement of the muscle. This reduces wrinkle formation and shallows out existing static wrinkles. This gives the appearance of a nice natural smooth skin.
How do anti-wrinkle injections help?

What are Advanced techniques in use of anti-wrinkle injections?
Dr Singh has also been trained in advanced uses of anti-wrinkle injections which include:
1. Treatment of hyperhydrosis or excessive sweating not controlled by deodorants . Areas affected include the armpits, hands and feet. It is not used for normal sweating.
2. Treatment of square jaw in females. Oval faces in females are considered more feminine. Square jaw where the lower jaw looks wide is effectively treated with this product.
3. Teeth grinding – where some patients have a habit of grinding their molars particularly at night. Grinding will lead to poor dentition . Again, anti-wrinkle injections are effective for this condition
4. Migraines – true migraine sufferers will know the agony of migraines. Any patient with a clear diagnosis of migraine (and no underlying medical condition) will benefit tremendously with this.
5. Neck Rejuvenation-Patients, especially those with thin necks usually have a prominent muscle in the neck called the Platysma. This pulls the face down and therefore aging the face and looks like “chicken legs”.
Injecting this muscle delays aging and softens the face and neck.
