Frequently Asked Questions
Is downtime required after the treatment?
No. This is a ' lunch - break ' procedure. You should be able to go back to your usual day straight after without any sign of having had a treatment. Some patients may experience minor bruising at the injection points for a few days but this is easily treated with arnica gel and can be concealed with make up.
How many treatments do I need?
One treatment every 3 - 6 months is usually required for desired results.
How quickly will I see results?
Contrary to popular belief, the effects of the anti wrinkle injections are not immediate. It usually takes between three and seven days for the effects to be visible with the maximum effect being most noticeable around 14 days after the treatment.
How long does the anti wrinkle treatment last?
The anti wrinkle treatment usually lasts between three and five months. After this period Dr. Nicky recommends the treatment should then be repeated to continue the effects. Patients find that with repeat treatments the effects last longer, meaning less anti wrinkle treatments are needed over time.
Can Anti Wrinkle injections be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Anti wrinkle injections can be combined with other anti-ageing treatments such as dermal fillers to produce exceptional results. To get the best possible natural anti-ageing results, Dr. Nicky takes a holistic approach to aesthetic medicine , treating your face as a whole, rather than isolating certain areas.
