Frequently Asked Questions
The most common types of cosmetic injectables are muscle relaxants.
Muscle relaxants, such as botulinum toxin (or commonly known as Botox), are injected into specific muscles to temporarily relax them and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. They are commonly used to treat crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.
Cosmetic injectables such as botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox), are generally safe. However, it is important to note that all medical procedures carry some degree of risk, and individual reactions can vary. Adverse reactions are rare but can include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or itching at the injection site.
This is why you can trust the team at Greenslopes Dental Studio to have a thorough understanding of facial anatomy, injection techniques, and potential complications. Our team will also assess your medical history, allergies, and any contraindications to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
While cosmetic injectables are generally safe, it is essential to have realistic expectations and understand that results may vary. It is also important to follow post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare professional to optimise results and reduce the risk of complications.
The duration of results after cosmetic injectables can vary depending on the specific treatment and individual factors. Here are the approximate durations for some commonly used injectables. The effects of botulinum toxin injections typically last around 3 to 4 months. Over time, the muscle activity gradually returns, and the treated area may gradually regain movement. Maintenance treatments are usually required to sustain the desired results.
The downtime after cosmetic injectables is typically minimal, but it can vary depending on the specific treatment and individual factors. Here are some general guidelines for common injectables. Botox injections usually have minimal downtime. It is common to experience some redness or slight swelling at the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours. It is generally recommended to avoid lying down for a few hours after treatment and to avoid strenuous exercise or massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours.
Our team uses medical grade anaesthetic products during the procedure to ensure that it is as comfortable as it can be during the procedure.
