There are a lot of myths around anti-wrinkle injections that can fill people with dread. However, as long as it’s done correctly, such as at our anti-wrinkle injection clinic in Northern Ireland, you will see noticeable improvement in as little as a few hours.

Here are some truths about anti-wrinkle injections that should make you feel better if you’re considering the procedure.

It Can Reduce Excess Sweating

If you suffer from hyperhidrosis (excess sweating) then Anti-wrinkle injections can significantly improve this. The body needs to produce sweat to regulate body temperature, but sometimes the glands can become overactive. If it does, then it can cause extreme embarrassment and impact a person’s quality of life.

Anti-Wrinkle injections can dramatically reduce sweating by blocking the nerves to the sweat glands, temporarily relieving the problem. Results can be seen in as little as one day for some people, but it may take up to two weeks to reach its maximum effectiveness. It usually lasts for between five and seven months, when a repeat treatment can be given.

An anaesthetic cream is applied during the treatment, meaning that it is relatively painless. Although you may be a little sore afterwards, this will quickly subside.

There are other options, such as surgery to reduce the sweat glands, but this can cause unsightly scarring that you don’t get with Anti-Wrinkle injections.

It’s Safe

One of the biggest fears people have is whether Anti-Wrinkle Injections are safe because of the last word in its full name (botulinum toxin). To put your mind at ease – yes it is. Side effects are minimal and allergic reactions to injections don’t occur.

It has an extensive medical safety record as it has been used for more than 20 years to treat neurological and ophthalmological disorders.

It’s Effective

Something you may worry about is whether Anti-Wrinkle Injections are effective, and the answer would be yes. Side effects are extremely rare, as long as they’re carried out by a professional.

As long as you follow the precautions following treatment (avoiding exercise and remaining upright for four hours, and not massaging the area for three days afterwards) the effects should last for between three and six months. It can take between three and ten days for effects to become fully visible.

Your doctor should always review your results after treatment to ensure that you’ve achieved the optimum results. If you decide to discontinue with your treatment, then your wrinkles will gradually return to the way they were before.
