Cosmetic Injections
AFTERCARE PROMISE
At Skintique, whilst we’re committed to achieving your aesthetic goals, your health and wellbeing come first.
That’s why we have a team of experienced doctors and registered nurses on hand, that will be there for you every step of the way. Before any cosmetic injectable treatment is administered, they’ll join you at your complimentary consultation to discuss your past and present medical history at length, to ensure the procedure is right for you.
Following the treatment, if you have any queries, they’re on call to answer your concerns.
Ageing might be inevitable, but that doesn’t mean you can’t prevent, or even completely erase the visible signs of it through anti-wrinkle injections. Used to weaken the movement of your facial muscles, they soften existing lines and prevent the appearance of new ones forming, as well as wrinkles. The results are long lasting, and will leave your face looking smooth, refreshed and rejuvenated.
Forehead, frown, crow’s feet, bunny lines, facial slimming – masseter muscles, sweating – underarms, chin dimpling, gummy smile, and many, many more. If you have a specific area that you’d like us to treat, simply call and one of our expert injectors will be more than happy to assist you.
Anti-wrinkle injections are quick, in more ways than one: topical skincare can take weeks of continuous use to yield results, anti-wrinkle injections can be administered in less than 5 minutes, meaning that they can fit perfectly into your lunch break! Injectables can produce visible results anywhere between 2-12 days, but you’ll see the full effect after a maximum of 14 days.
Whilst anti-wrinkle injections have fabulous longevity, roughly lasting between 3-5 months (this can, however, vary from person to person), they’re not permanent, so there’s no need to worry if you decide that this treatment isn’t for you! To continue seeing great results, we recommend regular treatments every few months.
You must remain upright for 4 hours following the treatment, and it’s important that you don’t engage in any strenuous exercise or make any rubbing or vigorous motions for 48-hours post-treatment. If you’re experiencing any pain, we recommend taking paracetamol only (avoiding anti-inflammatories such as aspirin and ibuprofen), and avoiding any alcohol for 24 hours, as it can increase your chances of bruising.
As with most cosmetic procedures, women who are currently pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive should avoid this treatment. You will receive a complimentary consultation with a registered nurse and doctor before any treatment is provided, which will include a discussion about your present and past medical history.
If you’re looking to inject a healthy dose of volume into your skin and lips (literally!), look no further than dermal fillers. Whilst anti-wrinkle injections soften lines using muscle relaxants, dermal fillers work to contour the face and restore volume to certain areas of the face that can appear sunken and gaunt, instantly making you appear more youthful and hydrated.
The most popular areas are lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionettes and lipstick lines.
You’ll immediately see the difference, however, due to swelling that can occur post-treatment, your results will usually look their best after a maximum of 1-2 weeks.
We recommend that you ice the area for 10 minutes each hour for the rest of the day. During the next 48-hours following the treatment, it’s integral that you don’t engage in any strenuous exercise, consume any alcohol, and avoid pursing your lips. Your medical practitioner may even recommend massaging the treated area after this period.
As with most cosmetic procedures, women who are currently pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive should avoid this treatment.
