Anti-Wrinkle Injections
1. What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections use a naturally occurring protein to relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. This treatment is commonly applied to areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
2. How long do the results last?
Results typically last between 3 to 4 months. With regular treatments, you may find that the effects last longer over time.
3. Is the procedure painful?
The treatment involves minimal discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch. Topical numbing creams can be applied to enhance comfort during the procedure.
4. Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare but may include mild bruising, redness, or swelling at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within a few days.
5. How soon will I see results?
Initial effects can be seen within 3 to 4 days, with full results becoming apparent after 10 to 14 days.
Dermal Fillers
1. What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume and smooth out wrinkles and folds. They are commonly used to enhance areas such as the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes.
2. How long do dermal fillers last?
The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the type used and the area treated. On average, results can last from 6 months to over a year.
3. Are fillers safe?
Yes, dermal fillers are considered safe when administered by a qualified professional. Side effects are typically mild and may include swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site.
4. Can I combine fillers with other treatments?
Absolutely! Fillers can be combined with treatments like anti-wrinkle injections to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation. A consultation will help determine the best approach for your goals.
5. What if I'm not satisfied with the results?
Some fillers, particularly those made from hyaluronic acid, can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This allows for adjustments if you're not completely satisfied with the outcome.
Aftercare & Recovery
1. What should I avoid after treatment?
To ensure optimal results and minimize side effects, avoid the following for at least 24 hours post-treatment:
Strenuous exercise
Exposure to excessive heat (e.g., saunas)
Alcohol consumption
Touching or massaging the treated areas
These precautions help prevent complications and support the healing process.
2. Is there any downtime?
Most clients experience little to no downtime. You can typically resume normal activities immediately. However, some may experience minor swelling or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days.
Choosing the Right Treatment
1. How do I know which treatment is right for me?
During your consultation, our experienced practitioners will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
2. What are the differences between Botox and dermal fillers?
Botox is used to relax muscles and reduce dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines. Dermal fillers restore volume to areas affected by static wrinkles and volume loss. Both treatments can complement each other for a harmonious result.
