Why does my skin look shiny after anti-wrinkle treatments?

Excessive use of anti-wrinkle treatments, especially in the forehead, can result in a shiny appearance of the skin. When too many injections are administered, it relaxes the muscle (see our ‘How anti-wrinkle injections work’ article), and the skin becomes overly smooth, reflecting light uniformly like a mirror’s surface. In contrast, when light hits wrinkly skin, it bounces off at a variety of angles, making it appeared matte and dull.

To avoid the shiny or frozen look, it is important to approach forehead lines with caution. Using a minimal number of injections can effectively soften the lines while preserving natural movement, leading to a more subtle and natural outcome.

If you have any concerns or wish to learn more about managing the effects of wrinkle treatments, our team is here to provide guidance and personalised recommendations.
