Allergan – Injections

Fine lines and wrinkles of the face are the usual tell-tale signs of ageing; but these can also make you look tired and lack lustre.

Anti-wrinkle injections are composed of ‘Botulinum toxin’ which is a naturally occurring protein. It is used cosmetically as to relax some key muscles of the face to smooth out wrinkles and tighten the skin giving a younger, more refreshed appearance.

At “The Chelmsford Skin Clinic” we only use the original cosmetic manufactured by Allergan as this gives consistent results.  Following the initial treatment, we will see you after two weeks to assess whether any further top-up is needed. This is all included within the package price.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers
How does the treatments work?

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is released from nerve endings and causes the muscles to contract. Excessive release of this neurotransmitter causes muscles to hyper-contract or goes into spasm. When injected directly into the affected muscles, botulinum blocks the release of acetylcholine and relaxes the spasm. When used in a diluted dose, can be safely used cosmetically to relax facial muscles, resulting in diminishing facial lines and wrinkles.

What can I expect before treatment?

You will start by having a consultation with our very experienced G.P. to discuss your medical history, determine your eligibility, discuss details of the actual treatment and schedule a treatment time.

What can I expect during & after treatment?

Following your consultation Dr Ahmed will create a tailored treatment plan which is suited for your individual needs and concerns. Once the skin has been thoroughly cleaned, small amounts will be administered directly into the muscle via multiple injections. Small raised bumps may be visible on the skin surface from the injections but these will soon settle by the time you leave the clinic. The effects of the injections begin to appear after a few days, although it can take up to two weeks to see the complete result. A review appointment will be scheduled for you to come back and see the doctor to check that the Injection has taken appropriate effect. The effects from Allergan will usually last between 4-6 months. As the muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles will begin to reappear and need to be treated again. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time as the skin begins to recover.

Is it painful?

With any injection there will be some discomfort, however the needle used is small, much like an acupuncture needle therefore most patients tolerate the injections very well.

How long do treatments take?

Treatment usually takes between 30 – 45 minutes to perform.
