BOOK YOUR TREATMENT

The Procedure

Dr Fotouhi offers a comprehensive consultation for patients considering wrinkle-reducing treatment, with no out-of-pocket cost for the initial assessment.

During the consultation, a full medical history is taken, and clinical photographs may be obtained where appropriate. This allows for a thorough assessment and an informed discussion about your concerns, treatment options, and suitability. A personalised treatment plan, including the proposed treatment areas and dosing, will be explained.

Where clinically appropriate, treatment may be performed on the same day. Wrinkle-reducing treatment is administered using fine needles into targeted muscles to reduce their activity.

Results typically develop gradually over several days, with full effect usually seen within two weeks. Individual responses vary, but the effects generally last between 3 to 4 months, depending on factors such as muscle strength and metabolism.

All treatments carry risks and suitability will be assessed during consultation.

Complications:

Not enough medication – will not give you the result you would like (individually determined depending on the problem the patient is attempting to correct, their age, skin laxity and expression used);

Bruising may occur, but resolves in time, cover can be used;

Injection discomfort;

If you discontinue use you will revert to your previous wrinkle load. Anti-wrinkle treatment does not increase the amount of wrinkles that you have, you will just be unaccustomed to what your wrinkles look like.

Maintenance

It is suggested, that the first 12 months of your program you repeat your treatment as Fotouhi advises. Dr Fotouhi feels there are three stages of anti-wrinkle treatment:

Initial (generally this give the perfect result);

Remediation (the first twelve months where wrinkles can be softened remarkably);

Maintenance (the schedule of treatments that you keep to maintain the overall effect, generally repeat treatments extend to 4-5 months if the program is adhered to).
