ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS AFTERCARE
Planning on looking your best this year? You may be interested in anti-wrinkle injections as a non-surgical way of removing crow’s feet around the eyes, wavy folds across the forehead or frown lines between the eyebrows.
For anyone who wishes to maintain their youthful visage, those nasty facial creases are the common enemy that always seem to get in the way. If you have decided to take action and smoothen out the ageing effects with anti-wrinkle injections, the following after-care tips and precautions will come in handy.
To enjoy the best results from your anti-wrinkle injections and to avoid any adverse reactions, it is important to follow your aftercare instructions.
Immediately after your treatment, you may experience mild tenderness, bruising, and/or mild swelling and redness at the injection sites. This is common after anti-wrinkle injections and should resolve over the next 24 hours. If bruising occurs it may take up to a week to completely resolve.
You may experience a mild headache after your anti-wrinkle treatment. If you require pain relief, paracetamol is recommended.
The effects of the treatment may start to become noticeable within 3 to 5 days, expect up to 14 days to see the full effect of the treatment.
FOR THE 24 HOURS FOLLOWING YOUR ANTI-WRINKLE APPOINTMENT:

ANTI-WRINKLE RESULTS & LONGEVITY
Anti-wrinkle injections provide temporary improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The longevity of the results depends on several factors, including the client's anatomy, metabolism, the desired outcome, and the dose of the treatment used. The average longevity of anti-wrinkle injections results is approximately 3 months. A lower dose may be indicated for patients seeking a more natural appearance, but it should be noted that a lower dose will result in reduced longevity of the results.
