Anti Wrinkle Facts
What is Anti Wrinkle
It is probably the most well known cosmetic procedure.We recognise the names "Botox" 'Dysport" 'Xeomin" The drug is actually called Botulinium toxin & it simply causes the effected muscle to relax for 3-4 months.
This drug has been approved in Australia for cosmetic procedures since 2000 & is more popular than ever.There are many reported medical uses of this drug too, Migraines, overactive sweat glands & overactive bladder to name a few.
How does it work?
It is administered through a tiny needle and syringe,quite painlessly into the area we want to freeze.The procedure only takes a minute or two. It is advised to remain upright for 4 hours following the procedure and please do not rub the area.This is to ensure the product is absorbed into the correct muscle where it has been placed by our expert injector.Over the next few days you will gradually have reduced movement in the affected muscle and by day 14 it will have reached its maximum effect. Smoothing out the area and reducing the fine lines and wrinkles. This will last around 4 months.Gradually the movement will return. It is advised to return to the clinic just prior to movement returning.
Risk Factors
With any needle, bruising and bleeding is a risk factor though very unusual. Let Joyce our injector know if you are prone to either of these. If the drug is not placed in the correct muscle of the patient rubs the area after treatment it may not treat the appropriate muscle. This can result in an eye droop if on the brow line. This is very unusual and pretty unlucky but nothing is permanent and it soon resolves.
