Our Treatment Focus this week is our Advanced Wrinkle Treatment. As we age, lines and wrinkles naturally appear due to the constant movement of facial muscles. To combat this, anti-wrinkle injections are administered to relax the muscles, ultimately reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, these injections can be beneficial for treating conditions like hyperhidrosis.
How does it work?
We carry out Anti-wrinkle injections in Glasgow which are also known as botulinum toxin injections, these work by temporarily paralyzing the muscles in the treated area. This prevents the muscles from contracting and forming wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother and more youthful appearance. The injections are commonly used on areas such as the forehead, around the eyes or crow’s feet, and between the eyebrows which are the frown lines. In addition to their cosmetic benefits, anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to treat medical conditions, or excessive sweating. By blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, the injections can effectively reduce sweating in targeted areas such as the underarms, palms, and feet.
The procedure is quick and relatively painless, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort during the injection. Results typically start to show within a few days and can last for several months, depending on the individual’s metabolism and muscle activity. It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced healthcare provider before undergoing anti-wrinkle injections to ensure that the treatment is safe and appropriate for your specific needs.
Side Effects
it’s important for our clients to be aware of some potential side effects. You might feel unwell with symptoms like tiredness, nausea, and headaches, but these usually go away within 48 hours. The treated area could also feel a bit itchy or uncomfortable, but try not to scratch it. You might notice some small bruises where the injections were given, but these typically disappear within a few days after the treatment.
there is a small risk of more serious side effects such as infection, allergic reaction, or muscle weakness, although these are rare. It’s important to follow all aftercare instructions provided by your healthcare provider to minimize the risk of these complications. It’s also important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours after the injections to prevent the spread of the product to unintended areas.
Overall, Anti-Wrinkle Injections can be a safe and an effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, but it’s important to be aware of the potential side effects.
