FAQS
What is anti-wrinkle treatment?
Anti-wrinkle treatment uses carefully placed injections to relax specific facial muscles. By reducing muscle activity in targeted areas, expression lines can appear softer while natural movement is maintained.
When will I see results?
Changes develop gradually over several days. Results are not immediate, and a review appointment may be offered to assess balance and ensure the outcome looks natural.
How long do results last?
Results are temporary and vary between individuals. Factors such as metabolism, lifestyle and treatment area can influence how long the effect lasts. Maintenance appointments are required to sustain results.
Will I be able to move my face?
Yes. The aim is to soften lines while preserving expression. Treatment is tailored to your facial movement and anatomy to avoid an overdone appearance.
Are there any side affects?
Mild redness, small raised areas or slight tenderness at the injection sites can occur but typically settle quickly. Most people return to normal activities the same day.
Are there any risks?
All medical treatments carry potential risks, which will be discussed during your consultation. A full medical history is taken before any prescription decision is made to ensure suitability.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
In some cases, yes. Anti-wrinkle treatment may be combined with skin treatments or other injectable options depending on your concerns and clinical assessment.
What if treatment is not suitable for me?
