Anti-Wrinkle Injections

As with any injectable procedure, wrinkle-smoothing injections should only be practiced in a sterile environment by a fully-qualified medical professional.

It is important not to be tempted to take cheap, ‘quick fix’ injections by unqualified practitioners, however accessible or seemingly reasonable the price.

At Dr MediSpa, this popular procedure is extremely safe because it is only administered in the clinic by a medical professional.

Before any treatment, your practitioner will consult with you about your needs, desires.

We will manage your expectations, and advise if wrinkle-smoothing injections is the route to take.

The procedure takes around 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how many injection sites are needed.

Your practitioner will allow around 15 to 20 minutes for the appointment.

The complete results can take up to 7 days.

A good practitioner will always suggest that you return for a ‘top-up’ about a fortnight after treatment, if needed.

The longevity varies, but usually the results last between 3 and 6 months.

For at least 24 hours following treatment, we recommend you avoid:

• rubbing your face
• bending forward
• strenuous physical exercise.

Any of these might cause the injected product to spread to unwanted areas, or lead to a ‘drooping’ effect in the eyelid. In the unlikely event that this does occur, we can supply drops that should rectify the problem.

The treatment involves injecting under the skin, which paralyses (relaxes or ‘freezes’) certain facial muscles to give a smoother, more youthful appearance to the skin.
