Anti-wrinkle injections
Dr Lyon has an extensive experience in treating facial wrinkles with all of the available muscle relaxant toxins on the market. The optimum results are achieved with number of relatively painless injections to the treated area to achieve a smoothing result.
It will normally take several days for the effect to become established and should last several months. Over time the deeper wrinkles will continually soften and may disappear or the duration between injections should lengthen.
The areas most commonly treated are:
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Brow lifting
- Thinning of the jaw
- Cheek lines
- Lip lines
- Gummy smile
- “Bunny” lines on the nose
- Chin dimpling and lines.
Temporary side effects from anti-wrinkle injections may include redness, tenderness, bruising, swelling and twitching in the area, along with pain, numbness and even headache. Many of these disappear within a few hours. None should last more than a few days.
Will treatment with anti-wrinkle injections prevent further wrinkles forming?
Anti-wrinkle Injections influence the movement of the facial muscles and reduce the contractions to prevent future lines from forming earlier than they might naturally.
How frequently should I be treated with anti-wrinkle treatments?
It is recommended to repeat the treatment before the muscle movements return to normal which is typically 3-4 months. This way there is an overlap in results and a continued softening effect.
Important note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
