Anti Wrinkle Injections – Say goodbye to fine lines
If you’re considering getting anti wrinkle injections and haven’t had them before you probably have a lot of questions.
Here at Define Laser, our anti-wrinkle injections are very popular and for good reason. They can help you say goodbye to fine lines and give you a more youthful appearance.
Want to say goodbye to fine lines? In this article, we answer some of the most frequently asked anti wrinkle injections questions.
What are anti wrinkle injections?
There are a number of injectable treatments available to improve the appearance of wrinkles. Anti wrinkle injections are most commonly used to treat crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles and frown lines.
Firstly if you’re considering anti-wrinkle injections, it’s important to consult with a qualified medical professional to discuss your goals and expectations.
How do anti wrinkle injections work?
Antiwrinkle injections work by obstructing the chemical signals sent to the muscles that cause the muscles to contract.
The active ingredient in anti wrinkle injections is a neurotoxin that works by relaxing the muscles that contract to create wrinkles.
Before being treated for anti wrinkle, Dr Linday Watson – an experienced clinician and qualified GP – will assess your areas of concern, also your skin and determine how many units of anti-wrinkle are required to achieve your desired results.
The best part? Your initial skin consultation is free and can be booked here.
How long do anti wrinkle injections take to work?
Once injected (results can take about 7-14 days to take full effect), the muscle is no longer able to contract. This makes the fine lines and wrinkles relax and soften.
After your treatment at Define Laser Brisbane, Dr Watson will schedule a two-week review to confirm that you are happy with your treatment and your desired results were achieved. We document the results with photos that we can refer to for future assessments and treatments.
Is it possible my anti wrinkle injection did not work?
Yes, it is. But the good news is, Dr Watsonhas been injecting for over 15 years rarely sees this happen.
Here are 3 reasons why the procedure may not be successful:
1. Lifestyle factors: Individual lifestyles and daily environments can influence the effects the treatments have on our skin. i.e. – if you are a smoker, it is proven that it tends to shorten the positive effects and if you bruise it will take longer to heal.
2. Dry or sun damaged skin: This can cause very deep wrinkles and may not react to anti wrinkle injections as you hope. This is where dermal filler is required, however, a qualified injector will know this from your initial consultation and can advise of the best treatment plan.
3. Correct number of units: Receiving the correct number of units to meet your desired results is paramount.
When it comes to anti wrinkle treatment the same dosage does not work for everyone. Here at Define Laser our goal is to help you achieve a natural look and it is very easy to add more units if you are not satisfied with your initial results. Remember, it’s very difficult to take away or modify if too many units are used in your initial treatment as you’re likely to end up looking unnatural or odd.
Choose an experienced and qualified clinician
If your treatment is being performed by an experienced and qualified injector like Dr Watons they will know the right pattern technique and the correct number of units for each area to achieve maximal results.
If they are not qualified with years of injecting experience, you could end up disappointed or with problems. Always be wary of “bargain botox” because you will get what you pay for.
