Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between facial muscle relaxant injections and dermal fillers?
Both are temporary injectable treatments. Facial muscle relaxant injections are used to relax the muscles that underlie the lines which become more visible through movement and age. Dermal fillers are used to lift out wrinkles that stay when the underlying muscles are relaxing and to restore skin volume and add contour to the aging face.

Will the injections hurt?
Each individual has a different pain threshold. You will be advised to discuss your concerns at your pre-treatment consultation. A local anaesthetic cream is sometimes used for added comfort.

How long will the treatment results last?
Approximately 3 – 6 months. The duration of results largely depends upon the area being treated and the products used. Other factors can also have an effect, such as skin type, lifestyle, age and the degree of correction sought.

I was feeling slightly nervous going into my appointment but Gemma was instantly able to put me at ease. The practice was extremely professional and I felt comfortable having the injections administered by a doctor with years of experience. The results have been fantastic and I have been left with a smooth forehead. I will definitely be returning once the effects wear off.
