How Long Do Anti Wrinkle Treatments Last?

When you have anti-wrinkle injections, you’ll notice the results over the next few days. Your wrinkles will appear less prominent and people will probably mention you look ‘refreshed’, ‘happy’ or just ‘really well’.

For most people, the effects last around four months and wear off gradually. To continue the benefits, you will need to book a regular appointment with a therapist you trust.

While it isn’t possible to extend the lifetime of each treatment, you can do things to look after your skin between visits. This means staying out of direct sunlight, eating well, staying hydrated and using quality skin products.

The cost of anti-wrinkle treatments

The amount you spend on anti-wrinkle treatments will depend on the provider you go to and the look you want to achieve. Some clients only want a subtle change while others who are preparing for a wedding or who rely on their looks request a more substantial treatment.

Anti-wrinkle injection treatments start at $199. Be wary of coupon deals. You do not want a trainee or anyone who doesn’t focus in these treatments to take care of your face as a poor outcome can be very distressing.

Side effects of anti-wrinkle treatments

For the most part, having anti-wrinkle treatments is completely safe. The wrinkle relaxer treatment used at Dermedica is the only medical product of its type with a 25-year history involving millions of patients worldwide, comprehensive clinical trials, published studies and extensive clinical practice.

Some clients may experience temporary/short term side effects which include tenderness and bruising at the site of injection. Less frequent side effects can include headache, temporary eyelid droop and nausea. When administered by a highly trained cosmetic injector, side effects can be minimised.

As with all medical procedures, individual experience will differ. It is important to have a thorough discussion with an experienced doctor to assess risks and side effects.

How to choose an anti-wrinkle expert

Your face is your most important asset so always seek an expert practitioner for anti-wrinkle injections. Ideally, this professional will have an up-front discussion to assess your wrinkles, talk to you about your goals and determine the best approach to achieve them.

After your initial anti-wrinkle consultation, you should be offered treatment in a comfortable, safe and clean environment. Your treatment should be administered by someone experienced and who is continually seeking to improve their knowledge of cosmetic industry best-practices.

When your treatment is complete, you should be impressed with the results. As the experts say, “People will notice but no-one will know!”
