The effects can last from 3 – 6 months. Some clients may require a top up and review at the two-week stage and this can be arranged when required for optimal results.
What are the side effects?
For most clients when this treatment is carried out by licenced medical professional, they do not have any noticeable side effects other than a reduction in the appearance of fine lines.
Temporary side effects may include redness, tenderness, bruising, swelling and twitching in the area, along with pain, numbness and even headache. Many of these disappear within a few hours. None should last more than a few days.
