SURGERY PROCEDURES - Injection therapy
Injection therapy
Correction of the existing and prevention of appearance of new wrinkles around the eyes, on the forehead and between the eyebrows; this preparation relaxes the muscle and prevents its contraction, leaving the skin smooth and not wrinkled. This does not ’’freeze” your face, because it acts only on specific muscles, leaving the surrounding ones to function normally.
After the dissolving and precise marking of several spots on the face, the preparation is injected by means of the finest (insulin) needle under the skin, i.e. into the muscle. The sensation of pain at injecting is minimal and is prevented by previous skin cooling. The application of the local anaesthetic is not necessary. The return to regular activities is possible immediately after the intervention. The procedure lasts around 15 minutes, the effect begins after 2-3 days, and full effect is achieved after 7 days.
Redness, skin itching, mild swelling and appearance of haematomas (bruises) and in some cases temporary weakness of the surrounding muscles; in rare cases mild and temporary droop of the upper eyelid or eyebrow, that lasts 1-2 weeks. The procedure is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation, during the therapy with Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and in some nervous or muscle disorders. The effect lasts for 5-6 months or longer and it can be repeated after 6 months. Clinical studies show that duration of effect is prolonged after subsequent administrations of the preparation, so that in the future the frequency of treatments is reduced, and the effect is still maintained.
Repeated frowning or squinting can lead to the development of deep lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows. It can be habit forming, so much so that the frown lines become a permanent feature.You might not be aware that you are frowning and may even be frowning in your sleep.
