Even when treated by highly qualified practitioners, results are temporary, and treatment is on-going. Patients usually have an injectable treatment every 3-4 months.

Prior to treatment to ensure your safety, a medical history will be taken, and a mandatory consultation provided. The procedure itself should be virtually painless.

Results should be visible in 5-7 days. If after 14 days our patients wish to return for a follow up, we are happy to add a small quantity if required.

While there is no real downtime or side effects associated with anti-wrinkle injections, it is important to note that you may encounter some slight bruising and swelling directly after treatment, due to the needle.

This can easily be masked by makeup. Some mild discomfort may be felt during treatment, but we use ultra-fine needles, and the treatment is complete relatively quickly.

There are no long-term side effects of having wrinkle injections, meaning patients can resume their usual activities straight away, and can also fly post-treatment. For best results, avoid massaging the area that has been treated and avoid exercising the area for 2-4 hours after treatment.

We’re now seeing an increasing number of male patients and, when we look at the results, we can see why. Ultimately, this treatment comes down to who is injecting it, so we can give a very subtle treatment, or a stronger one.

Most men are nervous about having cosmetic injections, but we tend to go very light and natural with the male patient, so all we are doing is softening the expressions, rather than freezing them, which is what a lot of patients, both men and women, are worried about.

Many patients will questions whether they are too young or too old for treatment but we don’t feel there is any right age. We have to remember that people will display the signs of their expression at different ages.

Sometimes, we see women in their 40s and 50s with very few expression lines, and conversely, we may see a 21-year-old patient with very deep expression lines. We are always looking at the patient and their concerns rather than their chronological age.

One of the biggest concern’s patients come into the clinic with is whether they will be left with a shiny or fake-looking forehead. With anti wrinkle treatment, it’s important to remember that the results are dose-related.

Accordingly, if we put too much product in, all expression will be blunted, and the skin may develop a very smooth, shiny appearance. That being said, the vast majority of patients want a natural result, so we insert less product, therefore retaining some expression, and avoiding that shiny appearance.

We will never treat somebody who is pregnant or breastfeeding. We would also discourage patients who have neurological conditions/diseases such as myasthenia gravis multiple sclerosis, Labert-Eaton syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The idea of a prescription is that the necessary dose to a person is dependent on the size of the effect wanted, the individual’s reaction to the drug and the type of drug prescribed. For this reason, we cannot provide an exact costing for this treatment until we have made a detailed assessment of you.

Anyone providing prices without the appropriate assessment is not properly prescribing in our opinion and risks administering too much or too little. Who would like this to happen in their face? For this reason, we are offering a no obligation free facial aesthetic assessment.
