Anti Wrinkle Treatments

An extremely fine, short needle is used to inject. Generally, this treatment is not painful and can be well tolerated with no anaesthetic. The area may have some slight redness and swelling which normally resolves within an hour. The procedure usually lasts between 30 – 60 minutes.

The treatment normally starts to take effect after 7 days, but this may vary slightly with some individuals. You will be invited to attend a review appointment at 2 weeks where the success of the treatment may be assessed and adjustments to your personal treatment plan made, if necessary. The effects will normally last 12 weeks on average.

The treatment requires little to no recovery time. Minimal redness, swelling and bruising may occur.

Before Anti-Wrinkle injections, try to avoid alcohol for 24 hours to help prevent bruising. It is common to experience some swelling, tenderness and possibly some bruising around the treated area. These are quite common side effects and are usually temporary (max 2-3 days)

• Preferably avoid touching the treated area, if this is unavoidable, when cleansing, treat the area gently.
• No strenuous exercise for 4 hours after treatment
• Remain upright for 4 hours – do not lie down or rest your head forward for long periods, i.e. no gardening, hoovering etc.
• Avoid alcohol 4 hours after treatment
• Avoid rubbing or massaging eyebrows
• Avoid saunas/hot tubs/sunbeds for 24 hours
• Avoid beauty salon peel or microneedling facial treatments for 2 weeks
• Wear a sunscreen daily – helps to reduce/prevent sun damage
• Anti-wrinkle injections will normally “kick in” at 7 – 10 days, day 14 at the latest
• A free review appointment is offered up to 21 days after your initial treatment, which can be cancelled if you are happy with your results after 14 days
• We are not able to reinject before the 14 days
• Recommended treatment plan is every 12 – 16 weeks
