What are Wrinkle treatments?
Wrinkle treatments come in various forms, including fillers, collagen induction, muscle relaxants, and tightening of fibrous layers. Dr. Booysen offers a comprehensive medical consultation to evaluate your needs and recommend the most effective treatment for you.
Why Consider Wrinkle Treatments?
Wrinkle treatments are designed to soften fine lines and wrinkles that develop from repeated facial expressions. When you make an expression, the muscles attached to your skin pull it into a fold. Over time, these folds can become ingrained and leave permanent lines, even when the muscle is at rest. Early intervention can prevent these lines from becoming permanent, making wrinkle treatments not only corrective but also preventative.
What Can Be Treated? Where canI have Botox?
Wrinkle treatments can be applied to any part of the body, the trick is to know what will happen once you have injected the treatment. Dr Booysen specialises in treatments to the chin, jawline, neck and lower face, while still offering treatments in the traditional treatment areas.
Will I Age Faster If I Stop treatments?
If you decide to stop receiving treatments, your skin will return to its natural movement. The wrinkle prevention benefits will cease, and your skin will continue to age normally—but you won’t look worse than before treatment. Essentially, treatment gives your skin a “rest” from expressions, allowing the skin to heal from the expression lines. Once you stop, the natural aging process resumes, but it does not accelerate.
What does wrinkle treatment cost? Botox costs in Bromley?
Most wrinkle treatments start at £200 for patients looking for a more regular treatment than 3 months, speak to Dr Booysen about her adjusted treatment regimes.
Can I Become Resistant to Treatment? Botox resistance.
Yes, unfortunately, resistance to wrinkle treatments can develop over time. When this happens, the body creates antibodies that neutralize the medication, rendering it ineffective. The good news is that some treatments are less likely to lead to resistance than others. The key is to use the correct medications from the start, avoid too many adjustment treatments, and stick to the minimal dose necessary for results, which may mean allowing a bit of natural movement. Speak to Dr Kim Booysen if you think this has happened to you.
What are Wrinkle treatment side effects? Botox side effects
The most common concerns with any treatment are allergic reactions and infections. Thankfully, allergic reactions are very rare, and I have all the necessary equipment in my clinic to manage any issues if they do occur. Infections can happen if bacteria get into the tiny injection points, which is why I always recommend avoiding make-up and touching the treated area for a day post-treatment.
​
On rare occasions, you may experience a feeling of heaviness or even drooping on one side of the face, like over an eyebrow or eyelid. Don’t worry, this isn’t permanent, and it improves over time as the treatment wears off.
Why Do Some Wrinkle Treatments Go Wrong?
Not all treatments are equal, and it’s essential to ask the right questions when choosing an injector:
-
Are they a medical doctor?
-
How much experience do they have?
-
Do they inject regularly or are they a part-time injector?
-
What specific medication do they use?
-
Do they follow strict sterile procedures?
-
What is their aftercare policy?
Price should never be the only factor in your decision. Cheaper treatments often come with a higher risk. If an injector doesn’t fully understand facial anatomy, they can’t provide safe and effective treatments. If they’re not familiar with the science of the medication, they won’t know how to prevent issues like resistance. And if they’re offering illegal specials, they may be cutting corners in other areas, such as cleanliness or using sterile, single-use items.
