Side-Effects:
Immediately after treatment it is possible that small lumps ‘blebs’ will be seen at the site of injection. The blebs are normal and usually disappear after a few hours.
There is occasionally some redness and itching at the site of injection. Redness can last for 1-2 days, rarely it can last for longer.
Swelling and tenderness can be experienced for 2-3 days and bruising can be experienced for 1-10 days. These responses are normal and should resolve quickly. If swelling or bruising persists beyond the level of swelling or bruising you would usually experience please contact your aesthetic practitioner as soon as possible.
You must seek medical attention and contact your practitioner if you experience any symptoms of infection after treatment. Symptoms of infection can include: hot, red or shiny skin; the formation of puss; a fever and feelings of being generally unwell.
You must seek immediate medical attention and contact your practitioner if you experience any symptoms of a severe allergic reaction after treatment. Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction can include: shortness of breath; wheezing; coughing; difficulty swallowing; swelling of the tongue, eyelids and lips; hoarseness of the voice; stomach pain; nausea and diarrhea. If you are concerned about any of the side-effects from your treatment please contact your aesthetic practitioner.
Results: Results will start to show from 2 weeks after the first treatment. The recommended treatment protocol is 3-4 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart for optimal results. Following this, a top-up treatment is recommended every 6-12 months depending on skin condition and the desired level of correction.

Results: Depending on the product used, the initial effects of the antiwrinkle injections start to appear between 2-7 days post-treatment. You should allow up to 2 weeks for the treatment to take full effect. During these 2 weeks, it is normal to experience some mild unevenness as the product may have taken more strongly in some areas than others. If after 2 weeks there are any areas with persisting unevenness or areas that have not fully taken effect, a top-up appointment can be arranged to optimise results. Results can last between 3-6 months and, in order to maintain and improve results, regular treatments are required. Repeat antiwrinkle injections should not be given up to 3 months post-treatment, this excludes top-up injections. Too frequent antiwrinkle injections can increase the risk of botulinum toxin immunity and reduce the effect of the treatment.
