Before considering anti-wrinkle injections for the first time, some patients worry that their facial expressions may look less natural after treatment.
A consultation with a qualified medical practitioner can help explain the potential effects of a lower-dose treatment approach and whether it is suitable for you.
What are lower-dose anti-wrinkle injections?
A lower-dose anti-wrinkle treatment may be considered for selected patients seeking subtle changes in expression lines. The dose and product are determined by a qualified prescriber following a clinical assessment.
How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily reduce muscle activity by interrupting signals to specific facial muscles.
Reducing facial muscle activity may soften certain expression lines, but no injectable treatment guarantees that future wrinkles will be prevented.
Our extensive experience with facial anatomy and our understanding of how facial muscles move and work enables us to produce extremely natural results.
What are the considerations for a subtle treatment approach?
A lower-dose approach may be considered for selected patients seeking a subtle change in expression lines. Results vary, and appropriate dosing depends on the individual’s facial anatomy and clinical assessment.
This therefore achieves a very subtle and natural-looking result.
Who might be suitable for a lower-dose approach?
Lower-dose injections are not automatically suitable for first-time patients. A clinician should assess your medical history, expectations and other treatment options.
It’s also particularly suited to patients who simply want to look refreshed and rejuvenated, without it appearing obvious that they have had aesthetic treatment.
How long do lower-dose anti-wrinkle injection results last?
Treatment duration varies between individuals and according to the dose and area treated. Effects of anti-wrinkle injections commonly last around three to four months, but lower-dose treatment may have a different duration. Repeated appointments do not guarantee that results will last longer.
Do lower-dose anti-wrinkle injections hurt?
The needle that we use is incredibly fine and is only in the skin for a few seconds. Generally, patients do not experience any discomfort.
Are there any side effects?
You may experience a little redness, and occasionally a small amount of bruising, at the site of the injections, but it shouldn’t feel sore after treatment.
How much does lower-dose anti-wrinkle treatment cost?
Treatment prices depend on the individual prescription and clinic. Contact Melior Clinics for current consultation and treatment pricing.
