What to Expect From Your First Anti-Wrinkle Injections Treatment

Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most requested non-surgical medical rejuvenation treatments in Ireland. If you are considering treatment for the first time, understanding what to expect can help you make an informed and confident decision.

This guide explains what typically occurs before, during and after your first treatment. And the level of care and professionalism you can expect from an experienced medical practitioner like Dr. Mark Hamilton.

A Consultation Comes First—Always

Your journey begins with a one-to-one medical consultation. During your appointment, Dr. Mark will:

• Review your medical history and overall suitability

• Assess your facial anatomy, muscle movement and skin condition

• Discuss your aesthetic concerns and treatment goals

• Explain potential outcomes, risks, and limitations

• Answer any questions you may have before proceeding

This consultation ensures that any treatment plan is appropriate, ethical and aligned with best medical practice.

The Treatment Experience

After your consultation, if you are considered suitable for treatment and are happy to proceed, injections are administered using fine needles into specific facial muscles.

• Typically completed within 10–20 minutes

• Minimal discomfort for most patients

• Small, precise injections using fine medical needles

Dr. Hamilton is known for his conservative approach, focusing on subtle enhancement rather than dramatic change.

Aftercare and Recovery

Most patients return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment. Temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at injection sites will occur.

✅ Do:

• ✅ Stay upright for at least 4 hours after injections.

• ✅Apply a cold compress if you experience mild swelling.

• ✅Keep the area clean

🚫 Don’t:

• ❌ Exercise, sweat heavily, or use saunas for 24 hours.

• ❌ Drink alcohol or take blood-thinning medications (unless prescribed), as they can increase bruising.

• ❌ Get facials, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels for at least a week.

Results develop gradually over several days. Individual responses vary and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
