Once you start to research your options for reducing the appearance of wrinkles or preventing wrinkles, you’ll find that there are a number of anti-wrinkle treatments for you to consider.
There are some surgical options that may be the ideal choice for some to pursue. However, as safe as today’s surgical procedures are, they are not always the first choice for some patients. Non-surgical options include injections that work by freezing the muscles in your face that are responsible for dynamic expressions.
As is often the case with many cosmetic procedures, there may be some concerns about potential side effects and risks associated with them. The good news is that anti-wrinkle injections are considered to be safe when they are administered by experience doctors, in a sterile clinic environment.
Potential Allergic Reaction
Anti-wrinkle injections are prepared with albumin, or egg, base. For those who may have an allergy to eggs, there are potential allergic reactions to consider. During your consultation with an anti-aging clinic such epiclinic, you should be sure to discuss any allergies and other health concerns that you have. If you can safely eat egg whites, then you do not have an allergy to albumin.
Vision concerns
Anti-wrinkle injections are injected around the eyes quite often, to reduce the signs of aging, there are some potential side effects that can impact the eyes. A well-experience medical professional will know the proper techniques and injection sites in order to effect these side effects. Some of the vision concerns could include drooping eyelids, blurry vision, dry eyes and swelling. Be sure to always report these types of concerns to your doctor.
Injection site issues
It is quite common to experience a bit of tenderness, swelling and bruising at the injection site. This should subside within a few short days of your treatment. Tenderness and swelling can be minimised and soothed with ice pack treatments.
Infections are rare, but can happen for some. If you experience a fever or see an increase in the redness and swelling, be sure to call your doctor’s office.
Headaches, nausea and flu-like symptoms
Some patients experience mild to moderate headaches after getting a treatment with anti-wrinkle injections. They may also experience some nausea and flu-like symptoms after treatment. These side effects are typically short-lived.
Drooling and mouth issues
When the muscles around the mouth are targeted with the injections, the wrinkles there will be minimised and softened. But some may also experience a bit of associated weakness with these same muscles. This may potentially lead to mild drooling and also make it impossible to whistle or use a straw. These side effects will pass within a few short days.
Anti-wrinkle injections are considered to be very safe amongst those who are in good general health. They should not be administered to pregnant women or to those who have certain neurological illnesses. Speaking honestly and openly with your cosmetic surgeon will help to determine whether anti-wrinkle injections are the right choice for you to meet your cosmetic goals.
