Aesthetic treatments can address the following.
When it comes to physical changes seen in the body and on the face, the ageing process is a case of when and not if. Wrinkles and facial lines are an inevitable part of ageing for all of us. That does not however mean they are untreatable and unpreventable!
At epiclinic® we have a range of anti-wrinkle treatments that can help disguise the appearance of ageing, slow down and even prevent the signs of ageing.
Dynamic lines are the lines that are visible on your face when you make an expression.
Dynamic lines can often be reduced by limiting the movement of the muscles that are responsible for causing the lines or wrinkles.
If you are looking for dynamic line treatment it is very important that you tell the health practitioner if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or if you have a nerve disease prior to treatment.
The treatment only takes a few minutes and the procedure is easily tolerable for most people. On some occasions, patients may have a small pin-prick bruise that is coverable with makeup and may last a few days.
The best treatment for your wrinkles and facial lines depends on whether they are what we call ‘dynamic’ lines or ‘static’ lines. Dynamic lines are those that appear and disappear with the change of facial expressions whereas static lines are there regardless of your expression.
Anti-wrinkle treatments are not the right choice for every patient. Those who are pregnant, planning on pregnancy, breastfeeding or living with a nerve or muscle disease will not be suitable candidates for anti-wrinkle treatments. As with any treatment, it’s important to discuss your health history with your practitioner. Generally speaking, most people are suitable candidates for anti-wrinkle treatments.
Results can vary between individuals, based on several factors unique to each patient. The majority of patients see their results lasting between 4 and 6 months, while some see results lasting for as long as 12 months. It is important to have realistic goals and expectations about any cosmetic treatment.
As your treatment begins to wear off, the targeted muscles will simply regain their ability to move. This typically happens within 3 to 4 months of the procedure. Lines and wrinkles will also start to gradually return, so it’s important to return if you wish to top up your treatment.
Anti-wrinkle treatments are generally well-tolerated by most. Some patients may experience soreness, bruising and swelling. It is always important to share a complete medical history with your practitioner before you undergo any type of procedure or treatment.
A conservative approach is the best approach and will help to avoid that frozen look. We begin your treatment by using the lowest recommended dosage. This will ensure that you will not look like you’ve been over-treated. We can always enhance your results if there is room for improvement seen at your follow-up appointments. Natural results are our ultimate goal.
New patient consultation is complementary and no treatment can be recommended or administered without a prior consultation.
