During your consultation, we will thoroughly assess the patient’s face and match their goals (e.g. reduction of forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, nasolabial and marionette folds and lip lines) with the most suitable treatment for them. Dr Mirza understands that each treatment is not only about appearance but also the patient’s well-being, so we will put extra care so our patients can feel relaxed throughout their patient journey.
After your consultation, the treatment itself will be very comfortable and involves Dr Mirza applying a series of small injections into the skin around the concerned area. Wrinkle refreshing treatment results in the appearance of deeper lines and wrinkles being softened, and in some cases, can see them completely eradicated for a certain period.
Wrinkle refreshing injections work by relaxing the supporting muscles that have lost their tone and contract as the patient has aged, contributing to the slackening of the skin and developing lines and wrinkles. The patient can expect to enjoy a more rejuvenated and smoother complexion post-treatment.
Most people will be suitable for wrinkle-relaxing treatment, but it may not be advisable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or receiving IVF treatment. Your medical history will be discussed, at your post-treatment consultation and any concerns will be addressed before treatment commences.
Wrinkle relaxing injections are considered to be a safe procedure, with minimal risk of complications, when the treatment is carried out by an appropriately trained and qualified practitioner.
This treatment is usually described as very comfortable by most patients, only experiencing some slight discomfort on administration.
A small mark at the point of application may be seen immediately prior to the treatment, but patients often see this settle within a few minutes. On some occasions, mild bruising has been experienced, which will subside fairly quickly.
This treatment results in minimal downtime being experienced. You may need to allow any marking to subside before you leave, say 10 minutes, but you can carry on your daily pursuits fairly quickly after treatment.
