How Does it Work?
Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily relax the muscles therefore preventing further lines and wrinkles from forming. It can take between 3-14 days for the effect to take place and will last 3-4 months then gradually wears off. In time most patients results last longer following several treatments. .
What Can I Expect?
Following an initial consultation and if suitable for treatment, a medical questionnaire and consent is obtained and photographs taken of the areas to be treated.
The area is cleansed and the muscle action is assessed prior to wrinkle reducing injections being performed. This is relatively painless and takes approximately 10 – 15 mins after which you can return to work or other activities.
An appointment to return to the clinic 14 days after treatment is made to assess the results and if required a top up may be given.
