After a few painless injections, a normal routine can continue. The initial effects of treatment become visible within 48-72 hours. The maximum effect is reached in about 2-3 weeks. Facial expression will become more relaxed but by no means mask-like. The overall result is very natural and it will help harmonise the face. This relaxed fresher look will stay for 3-4 months initially and can last up to 6 months for some. After this the toxin is metabolised by the body.

At the initial visit the discussion and examination can take approximately half an hour. Once the injections begin, it’s all over in about 10-15 minutes.

No, I am very experienced and carry out a painless, most gentle technique. I use very fine insulin needles which are tiny micro needles that help make the procedure painless. If anything, most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite or sting. Discomfort is minimal and brief hence no need for anesthesia.

The majority of patients will walk out of the treatment room with a few small red dots at the areas that have been injected. This slight redness typically takes about 15 minutes to go away. After that there is no signs to show that anti-wrinkle injections have been administered.

A full post op care will be discussed at the appointment. Life can carry on as normal . The treated area should not be touched. Lying down is not advised until 3-4 hours after the treatment and no alcohol or exercise should be taken that day. Then for 7 days post-treatment, no facials/chemical skin peels/laser resurfacing treatments or sun beds are recommended.

Yes, the following people should not have anti-wrinkle injections:

Yes, when carried out by a highly trained medical professional. Botulinum toxin is available by prescription only and should only be administered by a health care professional. It is a widely known and highly used procedure initially being used medically for the treatment of cross-eye, uncontrollable blinking and perspiration problems in individuals. It has been approved by the FDA for cosmetic use and has been used for over 20 years without any known long term effects. I have been trained by one of the leading experts in facial rejuvenation in the UK and also my thorough training through dentistry allows me to have the excellent standard of knowledge of the anatomy of the head and neck and its musculature minimising the incidence of any significant side effects.

No, botulism is caused by very large amounts of toxin entering in the system usually from contaminated foods. The amount given in a typical cosmetic injection is too small to give a healthy patient a Botulism-like illness. Administered by a trained medical professional in the correct amount, there is no need to worry. When drugs are taken by mouth, they are distributed throughout the body by the bloodstream. In contrast, local injections are administered directly into the desired site of action, thus they are not expected to be present in the bloodstream at a measurable level following treatment at the recommended dosage or typically remain in the injected muscle, although some spread to adjacent muscles may occur.

Non-surgical facial aesthetic options are by far cheaper and more cost effective than a surgical approach. The anti-wrinkle injection consultant will discuss finance options prior to having any treatment. Consultation visits are free of charge where you will have an opportunity to discuss treatment in detail and address any queries.
