Frequently Asked Questions

Wrinkles are caused by too many contractions of your face muscles over many years. Anti-wrinkle injections diminish the strength of these facial muscles by supressing the signals from the nerves to the muscle and preventing them from contracting an excessive amount and forming wrinkles. For instance, anti-wrinkle injections can be used to relax the muscles around the eyes in order to prevent the development of crow’s feet.

Anti-wrinkle injections do not instantly improve the wrinkle lines (static lines) you see on your skin. On the other hand, after a number of anti-wrinkle treatments, skin that is normally creased can rest and recover and improvement in static lines is typically visible.

To determine the correct dosage you need to book in for a complimentary consultation with one of our Cosmetic Injectors.

Everyone experiences pain differently and has different pain thresholds. However, when it comes to anti-wrinkle injections, most people compare the sensation of the face injections to a quick prick. There is a slight pinching feeling, but it only lasts for a few seconds.

Anti-wrinkle injections start to work 2-3 days after the injection and reach their full effect within 7-14 days. The effects can typically last for up to 3-4 months depending on the individual.

Because muscle contraction and movement is different in each person we have to actually see the area to assess and determine dosing and therefore cost.

Our consultations are free, and is a great opportunity to discuss all the options available and give you an accurate quote.

Dermal fillers work by imitating a naturally occurring substance within your body – a sugar molecule that exists naturally in almost all living organisms. Its normal function is to bind water so it acts as a lubricant and shock absorber in movable parts of the body, such as joints. It is also important for the transport of nutrients and in regulating water balance in skin. By boosting your skin with this naturally occurring substance, dermal fillers revitalise and add volume to the area instantly. This diminishes the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and giving a natural softer look. The gel we use is very tissue-friendly and closely resembles that which exists in the body.

Results from a single treatment can be seen instantly and can last for up to 6 months or over a year depending on the thickness of the product and a number of biological factors of an individual client. We use dermal filler injections to give a natural looking result that does not affect facial expression. Our face changes as we age, so dermal fillers allow you to control your looks subtly over time.

Our treatments can be used to help smooth away smile lines, create fuller lips and shape facial contours, such as cheeks and chin, as well as hydrate and revitalise the skin. The most common areas treated are the nose to mouth lines (the nasolabial folds), the lips (adding volume and shape), the cheeks and jaw.
