Question 5

What are anti-wrinkle injections?

Accepted Answer

Anti-wrinkle injections use a purified protein to temporarily relax the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. They are most commonly used on forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet.

Question 6

How long do anti-wrinkle injections last?

Accepted Answer

Results typically last between 3 and 4 months, after which the muscle activity gradually returns. With regular treatments, results can last longer over time.

Does it hurt?

Discomfort is minimal. A very fine needle is used and most clients describe it as a slight pinch. The treatment itself takes only 15–20 minutes.

Question 8

When will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Results begin to appear within 3–5 days and are fully visible after 2 weeks. A follow-up review is offered at 2 weeks to ensure you are happy with your results.

Question 9

Are there any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Side effects are generally mild and temporary. These can include slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Serious complications are rare when treatment is carried out by a qualified practitioner.

Question 10

What are dermal fillers?

Accepted Answer

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments using hyaluronic acid — a substance naturally found in the body — to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Common areas include lips, cheeks, and nasolabial folds.

Question 11

How long do dermal fillers last?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the area treated and the product used. Lip fillers typically last 6–9 months, while facial fillers can last 12–18 months. Results vary between individuals.

Is a deposit required?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a £50 deposit is required to secure your appointment. This is deducted from the total treatment cost on the day.

Can fillers be dissolved?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called Hyalase if needed. This is available as a treatment at £199 per session.

Vitamin B12 injections can help boost energy levels, improve mood, support metabolism, and enhance skin radiance. They are particularly beneficial for those with low B12 levels or those following a plant-based diet.
