Have you ever experienced disappointment after a wrinkle treatment didn’t quite meet your expectations?
While such outcomes are uncommon, they can occur due to various factors, such as lifestyle choices, improper dosage, or resistance.
The good news is, Dr. Watson, a seasoned GP with over 15 years of experience in administering injections, rarely encounters such issues. However, understanding the underlying reasons is crucial if you find yourself in this situation.
Before undergoing any treatment, it’s essential to grasp how wrinkle-reduction procedures work.
How does a wrinkle treatment work?
Wrinkle reduction injections work to block signals from the nerves to the muscles. Once injected (results can take about 7-14 days to take full effect), the muscle can no longer contract. This makes the fine lines and wrinkles relax and soften.
Why a wrinkle treatment may not be successful
1. Lifestyles
The efficacy of treatments on our skin can significantly influence our lifestyles and daily surroundings. For instance, smoking has been shown to diminish the positive effects, while bruising may prolong the healing process. Skin conditions like dryness or sun damage, resulting in deep wrinkles, may not respond favourably to certain treatments.
In such cases, alternative approaches like dermal fillers may be necessary, and a decision should be made by a qualified injector following a thorough initial consultation.
2. Correct number of Units
Receiving the correct number of units to meet your desired results is paramount. When it comes to wrinkle reduction treatment, the same dosage does not work for everyone.
If an experienced and qualified injector performs your treatment, they will know the correct pattern technique and number of units for each area to achieve the desired results.
If they are not qualified with years of injecting experience, you might end up not achieving the results you were hoping for.
During your complimentary consultation with Dr Watson, he will carefully assess your areas of concern and evaluate your skin condition to determine the optimal dosage required to achieve your desired results
Dr Watson believes starting conservative is always best. Your aim is to look fresher without looking different in a noticeable way.
It is very easy to add more units if you are unsatisfied with your initial results. It is very difficult to remove or modify them if you end up looking unnatural.
3. Resistance
Although rare, your body may develop a resistance to antiwrinkle injections.. This will only happen if you have received many treatments.
