Anti-wrinkle injections otherwise known as Botox, (which is a brand name) are a quick, safe and effective method of smoothing facial wrinkles and creases.
Getting Botox takes only a few minutes. You won’t need anaesthesia. A small needle is used to inject Botox into specific muscles with only minor discomfort
Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can’t contract. That makes wrinkles relax and soften.
Botox is most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye) and frown lines. Botox won’t help with wrinkles caused by sun damage or gravity.
It generally takes 7 to 14 days to take full effect. You would need to come back to the clinic for a 14 day review.
The effects from Botox will last 4 to 7 months. As muscle action slowly returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are relaxed.
There are no known long term side effects and should you wish to stop having the treatment in the future the toxin will wear off and completely leave the body. The muscles and skin will return to the pre treatment condition.
Although you may have some temporary side effects after a toxin injection. These could include:
People who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a neurological disease shouldn’t use Botox. Because
You shouldn’t have Botox shots if you’re allergic to cow’s milk protein.
You may or may not experience a small amount of bruising. Sometimes a ‘bee sting’ swelling can occur but should disappear within 20 minutes.
Anti Wrinkle treatment can take between 1-14 days to develop fully. At the 14 day review the client may need a little extra product to tweak the initial treatment.
There is no extra cost for 14day review.
Please note, that there is a strict policy of a 3-week time limit after the initial treatment for the 14day review.
Although Anti Wrinkle Injections containing Botox are extremely safe and the produce will start to disappear after 12 weeks, our Nurse Prescriber will contact every Client to ascertain if this procedure is safe to be used on that individual.
This is a POM ‘Prescription only medicine’ and needs to be specifically prescribed for each individual client by a medical professional.
There are no known long term side effects and should you wish to stop having the treatment in the future the toxin will wear off and completely leave the body. The muscles and skin will return to the pre treatment condition.
