Anti-wrinkle injections have become such a popular form of treatment for eliminating wrinkles and fine lines that a lot of clinics and practitioners are now offering such a service. Both men and women opt for anti-wrinkle injections so they can look fresher and younger, but if you are considering such treatment, there are
some things you should know about it, too. It is a less risky procedure compared to cosmetic surgery, and the effects can last for a long time (up to four months!). But before you opt for anti-wrinkle injections, it pays to be informed so you know what it entails and what you can expect. Here, then, are the top facts you should know about anti-wrinkle injections before getting treated.
The cost
The cost can vary from £100 to up to £350, and the price can change depending on the areas you want to be treated as well as the clinic itself.
The clinic
Since there are now a lot of clinics offering such treatment, it’s in your best interest to choose your clinic wisely. Make sure the clinic performing anti-wrinkle injections is registered, as this will mean that they follow set standards in terms of skill, insurance, and training. Here’s something to remember: if the cost is too low, it may be too good to be true. It’s better to choose a clinic with the proper credentials and accreditation even if the cost is higher than to end up with regrets because the clinic or practitioner doesn’t have ample training.
When choosing a clinic, ask them about their qualifications, experience, and training. You should also ask for the product’s name and whether it is licensed or not, and it pays to ask where and how the product was made. A good clinic, such as looklovelylondon.co.uk , will talk to you about the treatment’s risks and any possible
side effects, and they will also discuss what can happen if things don’t go according to plan. Anti-wrinkle injections using Botulinum toxin may only be prescribed personally by a medical practitioner (a doctor, pharmacist or nurse prescriber, or dentist). And even though these medical practitioners may not personally administer the injections, the injections should still be performed by someone experienced and
qualified.
In some cases, anti-wrinkle injections may not be recommended. If you have an infection of the skin, it may not be prescribed. The same is true if you have a neuromuscular condition, such as myasthenia gravis. If you are taking certain medications or are pregnant/breastfeeding, it may not be recommended, either.
The procedure
The procedure is relatively pain-free, and you will often feel just a slight sting or prick at the area once the injection goes in. Before the procedure, they will clean your face and make sure you relax on the reclining chair, and they will then inject the targeted facial muscles with the use of a fine needle. You may need to be injected in different areas depending on your treatment plan, and the treatment usually lasts from 10
minutes to 30 minutes.
Afterwards, you may only see the noticeable effects after about two to three days, but it may take from two to three weeks for you to see the complete effects.
