anti-wrinkle injections are minimal, if done by a trained and suitably qualified practitioner.\u00a0 As a registered medical professional and qualified aesthetic practitioner, all procedures carried out by AEC Aesthetics are done under strict aseptic conditions, and every precaution is taken to minimise any risk.\u00a0 All side effects and potential risks associated with anti-wrinkle injections will be discussed in full during the consultation process.<\/p><p>Common side effects are those associated with any form of injection of the skin, for example:<\/p><ul><li>Discomfort at injection sites<\/li><li>Mild swelling in the area of treatment<\/li><li>Slight redness and small visible injection marks<\/li><li>Mild bruising<\/li><li>Itching and\/or mild irritation<\/li><li>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><p>If experienced, these effects will generally subside within a few days to a week or so, and can be relieved with basic home management methods - for example: Paracetamol may be taken for pain and discomfort, apply a cold compress to minimise any swelling, Arnica cream applied regularly can effectively reduce any bruising, and OTC anti-histamines can relieve any itching or irritation.\u00a0 (Please ensure to check with a Pharmacist or your GP if you are unsure about taking any medications).<\/p><p>Some adverse effects of anti-wrinkle injections can occur as a result of poor product placement or lack of knowledge of facial anatomy:<\/p><ul><li>A \u2018frozen\u2019 look \u2013 inability to move the muscles in your face<\/li><li>Facial asymmetry \u2013 your facial features may appear raised or dropped on one side only<\/li><li>Temporary weakness in your face \u2013 for example, your eyelids or eyebrows may droop if the product moves into these areas \u2013 known as \u2018brow ptosis\u2019<\/li><li>Elevation of the outer parts of your eyebrows \u2013 known as \u2018Spock brow\u2019<\/li><li>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><p>Other less common risks include:<\/p><ul><li>Infection<\/li><li>Hypersensitivity reactions \u2013 ranging from mild itching, rash etc, to severe allergic reaction and\/or anaphylaxis<\/li><li>Very rarely, serious problems can occur \u2013 such as such as blurred or double vision if the area around the eyes is treated, or breathing difficulties if the neck area is injected.<\/li><\/ul><p>If at any point you are concerned about any side effects that you may experience, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact your practitioner.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n

severe static creases\/lines (those that don\u2019t disappear when your face is at rest) may only be smoothed and softened, rather than completely erased.\u00a0 For this reason, anti-wrinkle injections are used as a preventative treatment, as well as a restorative treatment.\u00a0 This means that many clients start having anti-wrinkle injections as young as in their early 20\u2019s, with the view to prevent lines and creases developing.\u00a0 In these cases, the effect will obviously be more subtle, and you may not see a significant difference in your facial appearance.<\/p>

discussed in full during the consultation process.<\/p><p>Most commonly, clients may experience discomfort, redness, bruising, swelling, or itching at the injection site.\u00a0 Generally, this will subside within a week or so, and can be relieved with basic pain relief and\/or a cool compress.\u00a0<\/p><p>Some less common risk that can occur include:<\/p><ul><li>Haematoma (a pool of clotted

This hero substance helps to give the skin a glow from within and functions to provide skin-deep moisture. Injecting skin boosters directly into the dermis helps to hydrate the deeper tissues of the skin for a plump and naturally dewy look. As Hyaluronic Acid (HA) molecules can attract up to 1,000 times their weight in water, they\u2019re particularly effective at hydrating the skin and the perfect primary ingredient for a skin booster treatment.<\/p><p>However, unlike other injectables developed with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) such as dermal fillers, skin boosters are intended to restore hydration and moisture rather than volum<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-1-2e077a1\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-9b071d56a9103fd7c182\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-9b071d56a9103fd7c182\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-9b071d56a9103fd7c182\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Are Skin Booster injections painful?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n                                        <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-open icon-right icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n                                        <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-closed icon-right icon icon-up-arrow\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-9b071d56a9103fd7c182\" class=\" collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-1-2e077a1\" data-parent=\"#accordion-6a9103fd7c182\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>With any injection, whether it be for aesthetics purposes or other, patients often express concern for pain, bruising, swelling, and other post-treatment side effects.

by AEC Aesthetics, are done so under strict aseptic conditions, and every precaution is taken to minimise any risk.\u00a0All side effects and potential risks associated with Skin Booster treatments will be discussed in full during the consultation process.<\/p><p>It is important to understand that no cosmetic treatment is without some risk.\u00a0 However, because of the way that Skin Booster injections are administered, the risks\/complications are very minimal.\u00a0 Common side effects are those associated with any form of injection of the skin, for example:<\/p><ul><li>Mild swelling in the area of treatment<\/li><li>Slight redness and small visible injection marks<\/li><li>Mild bruising<\/li><li>Itching and\/or mild irritation<\/li><li>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><p>If experienced, these effects will generally subside within a few days to a week or so, and can be relieved with basic home management methods - for example: Paracetamol may be taken for pain and discomfort, apply a cold compress to minimise any swelling, Arnica cream applied regularly can effectively reduce any bruising, and OTC anti-histamines can relieve any itching or irritation.\u00a0 (Please ensure to check with
