Cosmetic Injections? 

Cosmetic injections are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that helps to reduce and prevent unwanted facial wrinkles. This is achieved by administering a very small dose of muscle relaxant protein via a very fine needle just under the skin.

 

What does the treatment Involve? 

The procedure takes around 10-15 minutes. During the process, you will be asked to raise your eyebrows, frown, and squint your eyes to mark out the unwanted lines on your face. Using very fine needles, a very small amount of muscle relaxant is injected into the target muscle. The injection may sting for a couple of seconds and normal activities can be resumed immediately after.

It takes 2-3 days for the cosmetic injections to begin working and up to 14 days to see the full results.

 

How many treatments will I need?

One treatment approximately every three to four months.

 

How long will the results last?

The desired effects and adverse effects of muscle relaxants are not permanent.

The effects of muscle relaxants last up to 3-4 months however this may be for a longer or shorter period depending on the individual.  After this time muscle activity will resume and re-treatment is required.

 

What does the treatment cost? 

The cost of anti-wrinkle injections varies depending on the area being treated, the patient’s muscle size and subsequent muscle strength. For these reasons, it is difficult to give an exact quote over the phone as the injector will need to assess each patient after viewing their muscle activity and discussing their desired result.
