More FAQs
Who should have Anti-wrinkle injections?
They are the treatment of choice for people who have forehead lines, frown lines or wrinkles around their eyes which they wish to reduce.
What will the treatment involve?
The treatment will involve our aesthetic therapist Lindsey making a series of small injections into the muscles of your face. The injection process itself will only take a few minutes. Lindsey’s Botulinum toxin of choice is Bocouture®.
Does it hurt?
The procedure is largely pain free, with the exception of mild discomfort which is experienced due to the small needle injection involved. You may notice some soreness in the injection site directly after the treatment, but this should subside quickly.
Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?
Botulinum toxin has been in medical use for more than four decades, and it is administered in such a way that it only affects your muscles – it does not reach any other part of the body. As long as it is administered by a qualified professional, the risks are extremely minimal.What happens after treatment?
You can carry on with your day as normal, although we advise that you avoid strenuous activity/heat treatments/other facial treatments for up to 24 hours.
