3 things you should know before getting anti-wrinkle injections

Are you thinking of getting anti-wrinkle injections for the first time? If so, there are a few things you should know first. While this is a safe treatment providing it’s performed by an experienced medical professional, it will ease your mind to know what to expect on the day. Read on and you’ll be prepared for everything:

1. Most people barely feel anything

Botox might seem like a scary concept to first-timers, but the majority of people barely feel anything at all. Those who do report a very mild sensation. It’s nothing to worry about, and the area does not need to be numbed.

2. You’ll have a few lumps in the treated area for a little while

Immediately following your anti-wrinkle injections, you’ll notice a few small lumps where you have been treated. These lumps quickly go down, usually, within the hour. They aren’t anything to worry about and are a natural reaction to the treatment. Be sure to stay upright for at least the next few hours after your botox treatment, and avoid any exercise to ensure optimal results and healing time.

3. It will take up to two weeks to see the full effects

Don’t expect to see results from your anti-wrinkle injections right away. Although you may notice a difference within the first few days, the best results will be seen after two weeks. Depending on how many units you and your practitioner have agreed on, after two weeks you’ll likely notice a significant improvement in your treated wrinkles. Those who have had their forehead treated, for example, often find that they cannot frown or raise their eyebrows as they used to. If this doesn’t sound appealing to you, you can always explain that you would still like some movement to your practitioner, and they will alter the dose for you. If, after two weeks, you’re unhappy with the movement left, most practitioners will offer a top-up appointment so you have your ideal look.

Anti-wrinkle injections are a normal part of life for so many people now – not just celebrities, and certainly not just women! To find out more, contact us at Medskin Clinic today.

Keeping those wrinkles at bay

It’s inevitable. The day will come when you spot your first wrinkle and think, “this is it… there’s no way back.” However, the earlier you start looking after your skin, the easier it will be to keep wrinkles at bay.

Anti-wrinkle Self-care

All is not lost with the first signs of wrinkles. Although you can’t turn back the clock, it’s never too late to start with a daily, healthy self-care and skin care routine to slow the ageing process down.

Everyone should invest in a regular skin care routine which involves three steps: cleansing, toning and moisturising. A more thorough pampering session once or twice a week to exfoliate and use a facial mask will also help resurface your skin.

However, if you consider what your skin and body is subjected to environmentally and nutritionally, there are additional measures you can put in place to limit the damage, both from the inside and out.

Environmental damage

While everyone loves lapping up the sun, those UV rays are super harmful. Make sure before leaving the house you cover your exposed skin with a sun protection cream with at least a 30SPF. And if it’s a particularly hot day, switch it up to SPF50. Block those rays as much as possible.

Smoking is a big no no. Stop or at least cut down. Those chemicals alone do enough damage, but have you ever watched a person’s face as they pull on that cigarette? The pursing of the lips, the furrowed brow… do that twenty times a day and you’re bound to engrain that into your face after time.

You are what you eat…

Diet also plays a big part in maintaining healthy skin. Antioxidants come into play here in the form of purple, green and yellow fruits and veggies which can help to prevent damage caused by environmental stressors. You should also substitute processed foods and red meats with (healthy) oily foods such as salmon and avocado.

For those of you who have a sweet tooth, don’t be shy with the dark chocolate. You’ll be pleased to know its cocoa base is considered healthy, and it has less sugar than milk varieties which can otherwise take their toll on your skin.

Finally, don’t forget to keep hydrated. Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. It can be difficult when the weather is cold, but your skin will thank you later. Also, ensure you’re using a hydrating facial serum and moisturiser.
