Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are anti-wrinkle injections and how do they work? Anti-wrinkle injections use Botulinum toxin (Type A), commonly known as Botoxยฎ, to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The toxin is injected into specific muscles, causing them to relax and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful complexion. Effects typically take 4 to 14 days to appear and last around three months.
2. How do fat-dissolving injections work, and what areas can be treated? Fat-dissolving injections break down fat cell membranes, liquefying the fat cells for natural elimination through the lymphatic system. This procedure is effective for areas such as the stomach, love handles, arms, chin, flanks, thighs, under the buttocks, underarms, and the under-bra area. Results can be seen from 1 to 6 weeks post-treatment.
3. What are dermal fillers, and what areas can be treated? Dermal fillers, made from hyaluronic acid, are used to add volume, plumpness, and firmness to the skin. They effectively reduce fine lines and wrinkles and can treat areas such as the lips, smile lines, tear troughs (under eyes), nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty), cheeks, jaw, and chin. Results are immediate, with full effects visible in 2 weeks and lasting between 6 to 18 months.
4. What is mesotherapy, and what are its benefits? Mesotherapy is a non-surgical treatment involving small injections of vitamins, minerals, and hyaluronic acid into the middle layer of the skin. It helps reduce fat, strengthen and firm the skin, and minimize signs of aging. Common treatment areas include the face, neck, cellulite, and hands. Some people see results after the first treatment, with a typical plan requiring at least 3 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
5. How should I care for my skin after treatment? Post-treatment care instructions vary depending on the procedure. Generally, it is advised to:
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
- Avoid massaging the treated area for several days.
- Stay upright for 4 hours after injections to limit substance spread.
- Follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
6. How long do the effects of Botulinum toxin last? The effects of Botulinum toxin injections usually last around three months, though this can vary by individual.
7. Is the effect of dermal fillers immediate? Yes, the effect of dermal fillers is immediate, but full results are typically visible within 2 weeks.
8. What areas can be treated with skin boosters? Skin boosters can treat areas such as the face, neck, hands, and areas affected by cellulite. They help hydrate and improve skin quality, giving it an overall boost.
9. How long do the effects of fat dissolving injections last? The results of fat dissolving injections are semi-permanent. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps to prolong the results, but weight gain can cause fat to return.
