What are Wrinkle Reduction & Dermal Fillers?
They have been used around the world for over 20 years on millions of patients and are a very safe and well-tested option for rejuvenation.
Anti-wrinkle injections are made from a purified protein. When injected into specific muscles, it causes them to temporarily relax which softens lines and wrinkles.
What does it treat?
Dermal fillers are essentially a non-invasive cosmetic injection designed to rejuvenate the areas of the face that have lost volume. They can also be used to treat fine lines and to hydrate the skin.
Dermal fillers fall into 2 categories:
- Non-permanent fillers
- Permanent fillers
At Avana, we use non-permanent fillers because:
- They’re safer – The products are made from natural substances which make them very safe.
- They’re adjustable – Non permanent fillers allow results to be fine tuned or reversed.
They effectively improve your:
- Lips by making them appear fuller
- Smile lines by filling them out
- Cheeks and under eyes by reducing dark circles and hollowness
- Mouth, nose, chin, jaw-line (jowls) and scars by filling and smoothing them out
Dermal fillers are made from a naturally occurring Hyaluronic Acid which is already present in our bodies, so it is a safe and proven option to augment your look.

What are anti-wrinkle injections?
For how long do anti-wrinkle injections work?
Results last 3-6 months in most cases however, in many cases the first 2-3 treatments may only last 3 months. Many studies have indicated that treatments become more effective and longer lasting when given every 3-4 months. If a patient makes the decision to stop anti-wrinkle treatments, their wrinkles will return once the strength returns to their muscles.
