Anti-wrinkle injections, also known as ‘Botox’ is a form of anti-ageing that includes injectables of a temporary paralysing toxin called botulinum, which is a regulated and approved toxin for anti-wrinkle.
It’s a chosen method for most women and men for several reasons, but more commonly it’s affordable, temporary, minimally invasive and a quick solution for most people. Not every use of Botox is actually for anti-ageing as aswell, it can be used to lift and relax specific areas such as massaters which is a soothing solution for those guilty of clenching their jaws.
If you are planning on getting anti-wrinkle injections or Botox in Cheshire, or considering alternative options, here are things to consider.
Temporary
It’s common knowledge that anti-wrinkle injections are a temporary solution to fine lines, wrinkles and any lift that you want. Therefore, it requires consistent maintenance and is recommended to wait at least 3 to 6 months before you have more anti-wrinkle injections.
The bonus of it being temporary is that if you aren’t happy with the results or have changed your mind, you don’t actually have to take the full commitment, as the effects will eventually wear off after 3 months and onwards. This is a great trying aesthetic, especially when considering a lip lift or slight eyebrow lift.
Accessible
A huge perk about anti-wrinkle injections is that they have been around for so long that they are pretty much accessible at every aesthetic clinic. This means that you are constantly having options to choose from for a really good experience and effective treatment, no matter where you are.
Nurse Practitioners
It’s imperative that when you are opting for anti-wrinkle injections, they are with qualified nurse practitioners and not individuals who are ‘aesthetics trained’; this means that they have no aesthetics background and aren’t necessarily going to be using actual Botox. There have been countless cases of people being misinformed, and it has resulted in hospitalisation.
Choosing a nurse practitioner not only guarantees that you are getting safe and regulated Botox but that they are placed in the right spots for your desired results.
Wait Time
Botox isn’t instant and the toxin takes up to 2 weeks to become effective, therefore it might mean you need to plan your treatment in according to what you are doing. For example, planning a botox refresh or an intial treatment a couple months before your wedding to see if you like it but alternatively, 2 weeks before your holiday and so forth.
Aftercare
After you’ve just had your anti wrinkle treatment you must ensure to avoid the extremes, so avoid sun beds, sunbathing, ice baths, saunas. But you are also supposed to avoid lying down for a few hours and vigorous exterecies that day.
Side effects can also come in forms of slight swelling, bruises, slight asymmetry until the treatment is working in full effect.
Averse effects are uncommon esepcially when choosing a nurse practitioner that is using 100% botox, but if you are by chance allergic to botox then contact the clinic and the doctor.
