Your first anti-wrinkle treatment: what actually happens
From the consultation to the two-week review, here is every step, and why we start with less.
Most people arrive for their first anti-wrinkle treatment worried about one thing: looking frozen. That worry is the reason we work the way we do.
The consultation
We start by watching you talk, frown and smile. Lines that only appear with movement respond very differently from lines that are there at rest, and the dose follows from that.
The treatment
A handful of tiny injections, usually in under fifteen minutes. Most people describe a pinch. You can go straight back to work.
The review
The effect builds over ten to fourteen days, so we see you again at two weeks. If a line needs a little more, we add it then. Starting light and adding is always better than the reverse.
