Question 5

WHAT AREAS CAN YOU TREAT WITH ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS?

Accepted Answer

Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to treat areas such as:
Frown lines – Forehead lines resulting from gathering of tissue between the eyebrows or fold, and caused by squinting and frowning.
Crow’s Feet – Fine lines that form around the eyes, typically caused by sun exposure and smoking.
Bunny Lines – Fine wrinkles that appear when you scrunch up your nose, such as when you smile or laugh.
Necklines – Necklines including horizontal ‘necklace lines’ and vertical ‘platysmal bands’ (Nefertiti Neck Lift) can be caused by everything from genetics and ageing to spending too much time looking down (i.e. at your phone).
Marionette Lines: Creases or folds that start at the outer corners of the mouth and run down to the outside edges of the chin. Marionette lines can be caused by various factors, including bone structure, skin type and the amount of fat and collagen in your face.

Question 6

WHAT SHOULD YOU TELL US PRIOR TO YOUR ANTI WRINKLE TREATMENT?

Accepted Answer

If you are suffering from any illness and taking any related medication. If you’re taking aspirin or anti-inflammatories this could affect your suitability for treatment, as bruising is more common when treatment is carried out in conjunction with these medications.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you’ve experienced any problems with Botox in the past, or with injections in general.
If you have any inflammation in the muscles or skin where you’d like us to inject.
If you had ever had problems swallowing.
If you’ve ever had any surgery that may affect the area you’d like us to inject, or if you have any pending operations.

Question 7

IS THERE ANY AFTERCARE TO CONSIDER?

Accepted Answer

Anti-wrinkle injections boast having very little downtime attached and before you leave the clinic your practitioner will ensure you have been given any relevant aftercare instructions. You will need to avoid rubbing / touching the treated area (including applying make-up) for up to 4 hours, post procedure. For up to 24 hours you should avoid strenuous activity and exposing the skin to extremes of heat or cold should also be avoided for up to 1 week.
