Anti-Wrinkle
Reduce and smooth out any unwanted lines and wrinkles.
How it works
Botulinum Toxin Type A is the special ingredient which is found in Anti Wrinkle injections. This works by relaxing and weakening the targeted muscle which is causing the unwanted lines. Anti Wrinkle injections are a prescribed medication, therefore a full consultation prior to your procedure is carried out to determine your suitability.
Once injected, Botulinum Toxin sits between the nerve endings and the muscle fibres which inhibits the muscle from contracting as it had previously. With or without Botulinum Toxin your body naturally renews these nerve endings which is why the product wears off over time.
Pre-treatment
Prior to your treatment you will complete a full consultation to ensure your suitability for the desired treatment area. At the consultation we will be able to answer any questions or concerns, and talk you through the process.
To reduce the likelihood of bruising we recommend avoiding blood thinning medications such as: aspirin, ibuprofen and fish oils (consult your medical practitioner first) one week prior to your appointment.
Before your appointment please let us know if you…
• Have an auto immune disorder.
• Are on any antibiotics.
• Have a severe metabolic or systemic disorder.
• Are regularly taking anticoagulant medications.
• Have Myasthenia Gravis syndrome or Eaton Lambert syndrome.
• Have any sensitivity to Botulinum Toxin Type A.
• Currently have an active infection at the treatment site.
• Pregnant, breastfeeding or planning on becoming pregnant.
Post-treatment
For 48 hours following your appointment, avoid touching, rubbing and massaging the area. Gentle cleansing and your normal skincare routine is fine. Mineral make up may be applied unless instructed otherwise.
Avoid strenuous exercise, heat and saunas for 24 hours.
Some clients experience a mild headache after treatment.
Results
Optimal results are noticeable two weeks post treatment. However, most clients will slowly start to notice changes at day four or five post treatment. These results typically last three to four months. If you are wanting to keep on top of your bo glow, then we recommend regular appointments.
