Wrinkles
What are wrinkle treatments?
- These treatments are often used to treat crow’s feet, forehead lines and frown lines.
What should I do before my first consultation?
- During your first consultation, Dr Parisa will discuss your reasons for wanting the procedure, any medical history as well as any potential risks or side effects.
- Dr Parisa will also assess your facial muscles and skin to determine your suitability and dosage.
- All patients will need an initial consultation before the procedure which is done on a different day.
- Injections generally talk about 30 minutes and you will be given ice packs.
- You should come to the appointment with no makeup and the area cleansed.
- If you are on blood thinning medication please speak to Dr Parisa.
What should you NOT do after injections?
- Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying any pressure to the treated area. This can cause the injectable material to spread to other parts of the body.
- If you are prone to cold sores and are having lips injected let Dr Parisa know and she can prescribe antivirals.
- It is important to have realistic expectations.
- Results can be expected within a few days and the full effect of the injections typically lasts up to four months and can prevent the return of fine lines through relaxing the muscles.
