Line & wrinkle smoothing injections are mainly used for lines in the upper
part of the face. A small amount of clinically prepared protein is injected
into the muscles that causes lines and wrinkles. The injection temporarily
prevents nerve signals from reaching the muscles and as a result the
muscle relaxes, causing the skin to smooth out. You may have heard the
name Botox® Vistabel® or Botulinum Toxin A in relation to this treatment.
They are different names for the same active ingredient which has been
used in clinical practice for more than 10 years. The smoothing effect of
the treatment usually lasts from 4 to 6 months. It can take up to 14 days for
the maximum results of this treatment to become apparent.
How long does the procedure take?
Treatment can take as little as 10 minutes and most people can return to
normal activities immediately afterwards.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects, if they occur, are usually temporary. Any injection can cause
discomfort, redness, swelling and occasional bruising all of which will
subside quickly. Other side effects which may occur include headaches,
drooping of the eyelid and eyebrow and are temporary in nature. An
experienced injector will minimize but not eliminate the risk of such side
effects.
A copy of the patients information leaflet provided with the product will
be given to you during the consent process.

Pregnant or breast feeding women
