Lip Flip Treatment Explained

It is better to attend your appointment with nothing on your skin. Natural skin oil and sweat can mix with your makeup and make it difficult for Dr. Mark to assess your skin properly during the appointment. He needs to clearly see your skin’s natural state, which helps determine how much or little toxin should be used for the desired effect. Dr. Hamilton will clean your skin with Clinicsept solution and rubbing alcohol before your injections. You can wear makeup after you get Anti-Wrinkle injections. Best to wait until the injection marks fade. Always apply with spotlessly clean brushes or sponges. Most patients who get wrinkle smoothing injections experience mild redness for up to 24 hours after treatment.

Regular Patients – Flying after treatment The short answer to the question is : YES Previously, there were some concerns that changes in cabin pressure during a flight taken soon after Anti-Wrinkle Treatments could lead to unwanted side effects. Theoretically different cabin pressures could cause the Anti-Wrinkle Injections to migrate from the original injection site, potentially resulting in an asymmetrical appearance and also could cause bruising. These concerns are not scientifically proven. Research has shown that the toxin is taken up by the facial muscles and nerves in just five minutes. This means that five minutes after the injection, the toxin should be fully in place and you are free to carry out your normal activities, including flying if you wish. Avoid applying excess pressure to the areas that were injected. Current literature advises that ideally patients should wait 24 hours post-treatment before flying long haul. Dr. Hamilton treats many patients who work as flight attendants and lots of patients from overseas. If they are flying long haul, he advises them to wait one day. The air pressure in an airplane cabin should not cause your Anti-Wrinkle Injections to move. Cabin pressures are generally the same as the air pressure on the ground. It is the air pressure outside the cabin that is different. First Time Patients – Flying After Treatment There are usually no issues for our regular patients flying within 24 hours of having Anti-Wrinkle injections. However, our Newbies are never injected for their very first time within 2 weeks of flying abroad. Patients start noticing changes in their facial movements around 4-5 days after Anti-Wrinkle Treatments. These are completely new sensations for them to experience. And, it important to remember it takes two weeks for Anti-Wrinkle Treatments to fully relax the target muscles and start smoothing out lines and wrinkles. It is very rare for any complications to arise after Anti-Wrinkle injections. Should you experience complications, it is best to have your own aesthetic doctor close at hand rather than seek another abroad. Dr. Mark would always advise that Newbies schedule their Anti-Wrinkle Treatments at least 2 weeks prior to jetting off.

Anti Wrinkle injections are safe and effective treatments only when administered by a trained and experienced medical practitioner. As with any procedure, they also have possible side effects which patients should be made aware of. If any of the symptoms listed below should occur for more than one week or if you develop any other side effects please report them to your Dr. Hamilton - Muscle weakness near where the toxin was injected; - Perceived trouble swallowing after Nefertiti treatment; - Blurred vision, puffy eyelids, dry eyes, drooping eyebrows; - Dry mouth; - Headache, tiredness - Redness, stinging and or bruising Droopy Eyelid is very rare. If patients develop a droopy eyelid, it begins about 1-3 weeks after the injection and lasts about 4 weeks on average. Droopy eyelids will typically go away and are not permanent. Dr. Hamilton takes great care to inject the correct areas of your forehead to avoid drooping of the brow. If the forehead is completely frozen to a non movement stage, it can cause the eyebrows to droop, and that could give the appearance of eye lid droop. With first time patients it is better to under inject and review after two weeks. Additional units of toxin can be injected at that stage if needed.

” Cheap Anti-Wrinkle Treatments are NOT good and good Anti-Wrinkle Treatments are not cheap” A quality aesthetic procedure from a highly experienced injector is going to cost more. Inexperienced providers, unlicensed individuals and those offering ‘fake’ Anti-Wrinkle Treatments will offer very cheap treatments. While these appear to be easier on your pocket- try not to not fall for it. The cheaper the price, the more you need to ask about the dilution of the product. Anti-Wrinkle Injections must be diluted with a sterile saline solution before it can be injected. Some people get wrinkle smoothing injections which do not seem to last long. This might be because the prescription toxin was too diluted and not enough actual product was injected. Dosage varies depending on which areas of your face you want to treat, as well as on your physician’s technique. Ask your doctor how many units of toxin you will need to get your desired results. Make sure you are paying for and getting that many units. A diluted product is not a bad product just as long as you get enough of what you need!

Dr. Hamilton always recommends waiting until after your pregnancy and breastfeeding is completed before having any type of aesthetic injections. The safety of your baby is much more important than any wrinkles. There are no studies indicating possible harmful effects of Anti-Wrinkle Treatments during pregnancy. Therefore, it is best to try to wait for 3-4 months after having Anti-Wrinkle injections to allow the effects to wear off before trying to get pregnant. Dr. Hamilton will not treat you if there is a possibility of you could be pregnant. He never injects patients who are pregnant or breast feeding. Other physicians might choose to treat their patients in this circumstance but he feels it not worth taking the risk. Try not worry if you had anti wrinkle injections and found out you were pregnant. If you have Anti-Wrinkle injections just before you conceived the risk of it harming your baby is low. The amount of toxin injected in a very small dose and works at the neuro-muscular junction receptors in your face. It is not going to move from there. Best of luck and have fun with the Baby Making !
