5 Most Commonly Asked Questions About Wrinkle-Smoothing Treatments
Answered by Laura from Newport’s Zahra Aesthetique
How do wrinkle-smoothing treatments work?
So, when you're considering wrinkle-smoothing treatments, it's natural to wonder how they actually do their thing. Essentially, these treatments contain a purified protein that works by temporarily relaxing the muscles beneath the skin. By calming down those overactive muscles, we can smooth out those pesky wrinkles and lines, giving you a more refreshed appearance.
Are wrinkle-smoothing treatments safe?
Safety is a top priority, of course. Wrinkle-smoothing treatments are generally considered safe when administered by medical professionals. It's crucial to understand that, like any medical procedure, there are potential side effects. However, with proper administration and aftercare, the risks are usually minimal. A consultation is required beforehand to chat about all risks and medical history.
How long do the effects of wrinkle-smoothing treatments last?
Ah, the million-dollar question! The effects typically last around three to four months. It's important to keep in mind that individual factors like metabolism and muscle activity can influence how long the results stick around. So, while it's not a permanent fix, it does offer a pretty decent window of rejuvenation.
What areas can be treated with wrinkle-smoothing treatments?
We've got quite a few options here! This treatment can target areas like forehead lines, crow's feet (around the eyes), and those pesky frown lines between the eyebrows. It can also be used in the lower face, and we can always tailor the treatment to address your specific concerns or trouble spots.
Is there downtime after receiving wrinkle-smoothing treatments?
Thankfully, not much! You can typically get right back to your normal routine after the procedure. We do recommend avoiding intense exercise, lying down for 2 hours, and rubbing the treated areas excessively for a little while, just to let everything settle nicely. But overall, it's a pretty convenient option for those with busy schedules.
