AntiWrinkle Injections

AntiWrinkle injections are very quick to administer. After your initial consultation which includes ensuring you are fully informed prior to any treatment -  we decide on the area to treat,  then mark up the injection site/s and calculate how much product we will need to get the desired result.

What to expect after your appointment

Over the days following your appointment you will start to notice a reduction in the muscle movement as the product starts to take effect. Optimal results are noticeable two weeks post treatment.

For 48 hours following your appointment, avoid touching, rubbing and massaging the area. Gentle cleansing and your normal skincare routine is fine. 

Avoid exercise, heat and saunas for 24 hours.

Some clients experience a mild headache after treatment.

Two week Follow up

A two week follow up with all new clients is highly recommended, this is to ensure you are happy and that the treatment is working and looking how it should. All patients get a text message from Nurse Shivaghn , two weeks post treatment to check in and ensure all is well.
