Treatments wouldn’t be suitable if you were under the age of 18 years, or had a known allergy or sensitivity to particular products or their ingredients, including local anaesthetics. They also wouldn’t be recommended for pregnant or breast-feeding women, or for those with skin infections near the areas requiring injection. If you’re taking certain treatments which affect blood clotting, such as Aspirin, Warfarin, Clopidogrel or Omega-3 oils, you should contact me about the suitability of the treatments for you.
Fine lines/wrinkles treatments tend to last around 3-4 months on average. The treated facial muscles will gradually start to contract again over this time. With the dermal fillers, it depends on the type of filler, the viscosity (thickness) & the area treated. Lip treatments should last for around 5-6 months, naso-labial lines around 9-12 months & marionette lines should last around 6-9 months. As always, the treatment time can vary from one client to another.
With fine lines/wrinkles treatment, there is a possibility of some slight bruising around the treated areas. This is temporary & tends to clear after a few days. There can also be some slight temporary skin inflammation too. With the dermal filler injections too, slight temporary bruising & inflammation can occur. Cold packs & Arnica cream can be used to help relieve this.
I use very fine needles to inject the treatments. I also use a local anaesthetic cream to numb the areas beforehand. The dermal fillers I use also contain a local anaesthetic which numbs the area as I inject. This helps to make the treatments as comfortable as possible. Your lips are the most sensitive treated areas, so the very first injection can be a little uncomfortable. However, having spoken to our clients, they tell me that hair removal (threading) is actually more painful than having my lip shaping & volumising treatments.
