Are the treatments painful?Some say it feels like a small ant bite, or a little pinch, with the discomfort only lasting as long as the medication is being injected. Each injection takes only a few seconds with each area requiring a different number of injections. Some areas are slightly more uncomfortable than others but you're always welcome to bring someone to hold your hand. It's our priority to help you feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

How long until I see results?Anti-wrinkle injections will take roughly 4-14 days before you will see full results.

How can I maintain results from anti-wrinkle injections?Regular anti-wrinkle treatments will improve the longevity of results allowing results to last longer and therefore extending the time between each treatment. Quality skincare and a vigilant skincare routine is also important in easing the development of wrinkles and prolong the effects of anti-wrinkle treatments.

Is it safe to have anti-wrinkle injections while pregnant or breastfeeding?As it is still unclear whether the mediations used for these treatments are transferred through breast milk, or impact an unborn baby during pregnancy, we do not offer anti-wrinkle or dermal filler treatments for these women.

Are treatments available for individuals under 18 years old?Treatments are not available for persons under 18, this includes parental consent.
-
What if I don’t like the results?Results are not permanent. Your body slowly metabolises the medication, therefore, results fade over time. However, if you are unhappy with the initial results, you will need to wait for the effects of the medication to fade as the results are not reversible.
-
Will anti-wrinkle treatments affect my facial expression?Anti-wrinkle injections can be done in a way that eases signs of ageing while still maintaining an expressive face. Treatment will only relax specific muscles so that other elements of facial expression remain active. We tailor treatments to each individual patient, the effects can be varied to suit your personal preference.

What’s the aftercare?Following your anti-wrinkle treatment, you will feel slight tenderness and swelling at the injection sites. You may also notice some slight bruising to some sites. If you have had treatment to your upper face, you may experience a headache afterwards. This is all normal and should subside over the coming days. Below is a list of post treatment instructions to promote healing. - Do not touch the treatment sites or massage the area as this can increase the chances of infection and the product spreading to another muscle. - No strenuous exercise for the next 24 hours. - No other facial or aesthetic treatments to the area for a minimum of 2 weeks. - No face down massages for the next 48 hours. - No active skin care (retinoids / vitamin A / AHA’s) products for 24 hours after treatment. The product takes 14 days for full effect and it is recommended to attend a review at this time to assess the treatment outcome.
