Anti-wrinkle injections are a common, popular anti-aging treatment at Dadu Medical Centre reducing deep wrinkles, premature aging signs, and fine lines, while also helping prevent new wrinkles from forming. The injectable is a purified protein administered into the affected area to relax wrinkles and fine lines, commonly used on frown lines, bunny lines, and crow's feet around the eyes. The procedure is non-surgical, delivered with very thin needles, and takes only a few seconds per injection point resulting in minimal pain. It works by temporarily preventing targeted facial muscles from contracting, smoothing the skin above them without surgery or downtime. Available at Dadu Medical Centre Vasant Vihar (South Delhi) & Rajouri Garden (West Delhi).

the doctor reviews the procedure, potential side effects, and expectations at the initial appointment
cold packs, relaxation techniques, or topical anaesthetic can be used beforehand to numb the treatment area
purified protein is injected into the targeted muscle using a very fine needle, causing a chemical reaction that blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction
the treated muscle can no longer contract into unfavourable expressions, so existing lines gradually smooth and new ones are prevented
noticeable improvement typically appears around 4 days post-treatment
the ultimate effect becomes visible about 2 weeks after treatment, with the procedure itself taking roughly 30 minutes total including consultation
Anti-wrinkle injections work specifically on dynamic wrinklesthe kind formed by repeated facial expressions like smiling or squinting rather than static wrinkles caused by lost elasticity, or gravitational and atrophic wrinkles from structural changes. By blocking the nerve signal that tells a targeted muscle to contract, the treatment removes the repeated folding motion that causes the wrinkle in the first place, which is why it's so effective on expression-driven lines specifically. Because the effect is a blocked signal rather than a physical change to the muscle or skin, it's inherently temporary and reversible nerve fibers regenerate over time, which is why repeat sessions are needed to sustain results.
Types of wrinkles treated:
Dynamic wrinkles: Caused by repeated facial movement crow's feet, laugh lines, forehead lines
Static wrinkles: Caused by loss of elasticity and collagen nasolabial folds, marionette lines, cheek lines
Gravitational wrinkles: Caused by gravity acting on sagging skin neck sagging, nasolabial folds
Atrophic wrinkles: Caused by loss of skin thickness and elasticity fine lines on the neck, cheeks, décolletage
Wrinkle treatments generally take about 30 minutes, including the initial discussion of the procedure, potential side effects, and expectations.
The complete effect typically takes 5 to 14 days to fully manifest, with a noticeable weakening of the treated muscle visible after 2-3 days and peak effect around day 7.
Cost depends on the number of units used. Forehead treatment typically costs ₹2,000 to ₹6,000 for 8-12 units, while crow's feet require more units and range from ₹6,000 to ₹10,000.
Results generally last several months, and the procedure can be repeated as needed to maintain the effect. Book a consultation for specifics based on your treatment area and units used.
Very minimally, the injections cause limited trauma to the skin, so makeup can be applied right after, and full healing takes just a few days.
