UNDERSTANDING ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS
With the ageing process we develop fine lines and wrinkles. The earlier this treatment is started, the less likely these wrinkles will form over time as we aim to relax the muscle activity which would usually lead to wrinkle formation through continued movement. The wrinkles we produce with certain facial movements are known as dynamic lines, and the wrinkles found on our faces at rest are known as resting lines. The aim is to reduce formation of dynamic lines which in turn reduces the formation of resting lines. It is recommended to start this treatment early to reduce the effect of these muscles on the skin over a period of time.
WHAT DO WE USE IN THESE INJECTIONS?
The substance is a purified neurotoxin which is isolated from the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum. It works by temporarily reducing signals to the muscles injected which reduces their movement. We use only clinical grade cosmetic products which have been purified for safety and efficacy. Over a period of months the body will naturally break down the substance leading to a restoration in usual muscle function. During this period the skin has an opportunity to relax which over time and with repeated injections will lead to fading of wrinkles.
PROCEDURE
This involves injections delivered with expertise by Dr Shakeel into targeted areas using a micro-needle. It is not usually painful however there may be some mild discomfort, and the procedure is typically completed within 15 minutes.
RESULTS
You can usually expect results within 3-7 days and they can last anywhere from between 3-6 months dependent on the area injected. Occasionally you may need a top up within 1 month which Dr Shakeel will do free of charge if deemed necessary.
AFTERCARE
Avoid touching, makeup, massage of treatment areas for 12 hours, exercise for 24 hours, sun exposure/heat (saunas, steam rooms) for 48 hours, and alcohol for 24 hours.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
Immediately after the procedure there may be some discomfort, bruising and redness in the treated areas which can persist for up to 72 hours. More rarely some people can develop a headache which typically resolves within 48 hours.
