Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Anti-wrinkle treatment is a purified protein that is used to relax the muscles by blocking the neurotransmitter from the nerves to the muscles. This results in reducing the muscle’s ability to contract in certain areas of the face to soften and relax or to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
The treatment is injected by a fine insulin needle into the muscle very superficially. There won’t be any numbing cream needed to be used due to no pain to minimal discomfort, however can be used on request if necessary.
After the treatment, it will take from 3 to 14 days for the treatment to show results and this would normally last from 3-4 months (varies for each individual).
This treatment can be used on:
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Frown lines
Bunny lines (fine lines on either side of the nose)
Gummy Smile
Lip Flip
Browlift & more
Dermal Filler
Dermal filler is used to restore volume loss, fill in fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance your natural features of the face. The filler is made up of hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a natural substance in the body to retain hydration and moisture which can combat signs of aging. As we age, it is a natural aging process to lose bone mass and tissue volume that causes wrinkles, loose skin, and a sunken appearance. Dermal filler treatment is used to prevent the signs of aging as HA stimulates collagen production and restores volume for a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
Treatments that are commonly used are the cheeks and lips. It can also be used in the chin, jawline to define the facial structure as well as under the hollow area of the eyes from loss of bone mass/tissue.
Unlike, an anti-wrinkle treatment, dermal fillers will get immediate results on the day. The treatment is used by a fine needle with a numbing agent for the most comfortable and pain-free experience. The results will last from 6 to 12 months (varies for each individual) and will look more natural over time as the filler integrates into the tissue.
FAQs
What is the difference between Anti Wrinkle and Dermal filler?
An Anti-Wrinkle treatment is a muscle relaxant that reduces facial muscle contractions to prevent or soften the formation of wrinkles.
Whereas, a Dermal Filler treatment is to fill in volume loss and fine lines/wrinkles, to contour, and to simply enhance the natural features of the face.
How Does Anti-Wrinkle treatment work?
Anti-wrinkle treatment works by blocking the signals from the nerve to the muscles which reduces the muscles ability to contract.
Is Dermal filler safe?
Yes. We use only FDA approved products. Dermal filler is made up of Hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a substance that occurs naturally in the cells of the skin. The treatment is reversible and we have medications that can immediately dissolve the product to reduce any risks and complications.
How Long Does an Anti Wrinkle treatment last?
It takes up to 14 days for results to peak. The effects will normally last from 3 to 6 months depending on your body's metabolism and other factors as it varies for everyone. Regular top-ups are recommended at the most conservative doses for maintenance in which will be discussed during the consultation.
Are there any after-care instructions?
After your treatment, we will go through with you any aftercare advice for the best results and avoid any undesirable side effects.
You can resume normal activities, drive yourself home or return to work immediately after the treatment, however, no extreme exercises and saunas for the next 24 hrs as we need time for the treatment to settle and integrate into the muscle/tissue properly.
As with any type of injection, there may be some slight redness immediately after the treatment. Keep in mind that the results after should not be seen as the final result because over the following two weeks the results will gradually improve.
How soon will I see any result and how long does it last for Dermal filler?
Results are seen instantly after the treatment for dermal filler, and this gradually improves overtime from the following 2–4 weeks. Results can last between 6–18 months although optimal results can be maintained over a long period of time through regular treatments at least once a year. The longevity varies from person to person depending on your requirements.
Who Should Not Get Anti-Wrinkle and Dermal Fillers?
Not everybody can get treatment as you need to be the right candidate for it. We do a detailed consultation of your medical history and a full assessment to ensure that our clients are safe for treatments.
Unfortunately, people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have neurological diseases cannot go ahead with the treatments.
