All you need to know!!
If you’re considering anti-wrinkle injections to refresh your appearance and smooth out fine lines, it’s important to understand the process before, during, and after your treatment. At Deseo Aesthetic Clinic, our doctor-led team provides safe, professional, and personalised treatments to ensure natural and rejuvenated results.
What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly known as Botox (botulinum toxin), are used to relax the facial muscles responsible for creating wrinkles. Repeated facial movements like frowning or smiling can lead to deeper lines on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and mouth. These injections work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to these muscles, allowing the skin to smooth out and preventing further wrinkles from forming.
Before Your Treatment
At Deseo, the process starts with a personal consultation where our skilled practitioners assess your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals. Your treatment will be tailored specifically to address areas of concern, whether you want to soften fine lines on the forehead or reduce the appearance of crow’s feet.
Preparation Tips:
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin) for a few days prior to treatment to minimise the risk of bruising.
- Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup or creams.
During the Procedure
The procedure is straightforward and usually takes 10-20 minutes. Using fine needles, our doctor injects small amounts of botulinum toxin into the specific muscles responsible for wrinkle formation.
What to Expect:
- The discomfort is minimal and often compared to a tiny pinprick.
- No anaesthesia is required, and there’s no downtime, so you can continue with your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Aftercare and Recovery
One of the main benefits of anti-wrinkle injections is the minimal recovery time. You can go back to your normal routine immediately, but there are a few aftercare guidelines to follow to ensure optimal results:
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
- Refrain from strenuous activities and avoid saunas for the first day.
- Stay upright for a few hours following treatment to prevent the toxin from spreading to unintended areas.
Some mild redness or swelling may occur around the injection site, but this should fade within a few hours. Any minor bruising is typically minimal and resolves quickly.
When Will You See Results?
You can expect to start seeing the effects of your anti-wrinkle injections within 3-5 days, with full results visible after 10-14 days. Your skin will appear smoother and the fine lines will be softened, giving you a refreshed, natural look.
Results usually last for around 3-6 months, depending on factors such as muscle strength and metabolism. With regular treatments, you can maintain these results and prevent the deepening of existing lines.
