Anti-wrinkle Treatment
The Polished Reset
For women who want to look rested, not frozen.
This is the quiet refresh that softens frown lines and eases tension without changing your expression. It’s for the mornings you look tired no matter how well you’ve slept — a subtle lift that restores calm to your face and confidence to your week.
“You look well” is the only feedback you’ll hear.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Dynamic lines are those that occur with facial movement and expression. With the continued and repeated use of facial muscles combined with volume loss, loss of subcutaneous fat, changes to facial bones, and loss and damage to collagen and elastin within the skin that happen as we age, these dynamic lines eventually form static lines which are present at rest.
Dynamic lines can be successfully treated with anti-wrinkle treatments which target the specific muscle group and work to temporarily reduce movement in the area resulting in less visible wrinkles.
These treatments work by blocking the messages transmitted between the nerve and the muscle meaning muscle cells are unable to contract. The reduction in muscle contraction reduces the appearance of existing wrinkles and prevents the formation of new ones.
Areas that are treated include:
Frown lines
Crow's feet
Forehead lines
Bunny lines (nose)
Dimpling of the chin
Upper lip lines and corners of the mouth
Masseters (Jaw slimming)
Platysmal bands (neck bands and jawli)
Gummy smile
