Upper Face Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Frontalis / Forehead Lines
We get horizontal forehead lines primarily from our forehead muscles contracting when we raise our eyebrows
Glabellar / Frown Lines
Frown lines are vertical lines between and above your eye brow that are the result from frowning, excessive expressions and ageing skin.
Crows Feet
These lines and wrinkles are formed by contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle around the eyes, and occur on smiling, laughing or squinting
Upper face anti wrinkle injections can be used to prevent lines developing/deepening or to soften existing lines. Elimination of these wrinkle lines leads to a more rested, approachable and fresh appearance and the best result will be seen with a combination of these areas.

At Dr Wafaa Clinic, due to ethical reasons we do have age limit policies with our injectable treatments. Due to the natural development of the face and muscles we have made the decision not to provide upper face anti-wrinkle treatment to anyone below the age of 18.
Anti-wrinkle injections weakens the injected muscle over time, which leads in turn to a reduction in the overall lines in the upper part of the face. Dr Wafaa focuses precisely where the three heads of the muscle overlap (for maximal effect), which happens to correspond with where the muscle inserts into the bone. By reducing the muscle at the point of attachment to the bone, the bone can also reduce overtime giving longer-lasting results without compromise to the strength of the bone. The aesthetic effect of upper face anti-wrinkle treatment is only truly appreciated in the right candidate.
