Frequently Asked Questions About Anti-Wrinkle Injections

You have questions about anti-wrinkle injections services offered at Yarra Cosmetic Centre (like BOTOX & Fillers), and we have answers to some of them below.

 

Which fillers are suitable for anti-wrinkle injection?

There are a variety of fillers on the market that can be divided into different classes. This subject is very complex and can only be taken into consideration by professionals who are constantly involved in these issues. The subject of fillers is now under the influence of preparations containing hyaluronic acid, which is very good. Hyaluronic acid fillers are available in various compositions and viscosities. It is the responsibility of the physician to use the proper filler for you. Based on the experience and recommendations of the manufacturers, the physician will select the right filler for you.

 

When the result of injection of hyaluronic acid into wrinkles can be seen?

Unlike cosmetic surgery, the result of anti-wrinkle injections is visible right after treatment. Since there are no injuries and swelling to be healed, you can do your makeup about 2 hours after treatment.

 

How long does this procedure take?

It basically depends on the amount of wrinkles that need to be treated. Identification takes about 30 minutes. Their treatment lasts from 30 to 60 minutes, or longer in some cases.

 

Is anti-wrinkle injection painful?

Injection feels different for everyone. Depending on the preparation used, the patient feels pressure of the injection. Before treatment, the patient is anesthetized with an anesthetic cream. In addition, only fillers containing topical anesthetics are often only used. Therefore, this method is tolerable.

How long does the effect of anti-wrinkle injection persist?

It basically depends on the preparation used. The absorbable preparations can keep their effect for 6 to 11 months. After that, the skin returns to its condition before the treatment. Preparations that are slowly degraded, such as Aquafilling, have a different effect on each person (from 2 years upwards) and stay much longer in the body.

 

Can you repeat the anti-wrinkle injection with a filler?

Since this treatment is mild on the skin and the body, injection can often be repeated easily. In this way, these methods of gentle wrinkle correction can replace cosmetic surgery for a long time.

 

Can anti-wrinkle injection be combined with other methods?

This is possible and useful in many cases. For example, pre-treatment with Botox increases the durability of anti-wrinkle injection in the forehead area. By using a combination of Botox and anti-wrinkle injection, you can achieve a significant facial rejuvenation.

 

How can filler materials be used for anti-wrinkle injection?

By using fillers, lips can be enlarged or reshaped. Wounds, defects or tissue swelling in the face can be filled with these materials.

 

What are the risks and contraindications of anti-wrinkle injections?

Like other methods, injection may cause minor bleeding and swelling in the skin. However, these are temporary and disappear within 1 to 2 days. With proper use and adherence to the precautionary measures provided by the physician, major complications such as infection are not expected. If such complications occur, they will be treated immediately.

Any type of filler should not be used when acute skin infections caused by bacteria or viruses are present. In addition, caution should be exercised when there is an allergy.

What should be done after treatment?

Cool the treated area immediately after anti-wrinkle injections to prevent or reduce swelling. This cooling is done by placing a special cold mask or cold packs. Cooling can be stopped after 5 minutes. The remaining redness can then be covered with antiseptic color cream. This redness can more or less occur in all hyaluronic acid based ingredients and fades within a few hours. You should not workout very hard, be exposed to intense sunlight or go to the sauna on the day of anti-wrinkle injection. Additionally, the treated area should not be touched.

 

When can you return to your usual activities after treatment?

After wrinkle treatment, you can return to your home or work immediately. For a week, it’s best to avoid going to the sauna and solarium. Also, avoid extreme sports immediately after treatment.
