Myth 1: Cosmetic Injectables are really painful
First timers of cosmetic injectables have a lot of fear around pain. People think of needles and they think of pain. However, the needles used for cosmetic injectables are very fine and small.
It’s important to highlight that everyone experiences pain differently and has different pain thresholds. However, when it comes to anti-wrinkle injections, most people compare the sensation of the face injections to a mosquito bite. There is a slight pinching feeling, but it only lasts for a few seconds.
At Laser Clinics United Kingdom, anti-wrinkle treatments require no anaesthetic. However, a topical anaesthetic can be used for dermal fillers if needed.
Myth 2: Anti-wrinkle treatments are toxic, unsafe and dangerous
Anti-wrinkle treatments have been in use for over 20 years with a long and well-established safety history. Did you know, over 16 million treatments have been performed since it was first introduced?
Anti-wrinkle injections are made from a purified protein (a substance that naturally occurs in our bodies) that temporarily causes facial muscles to relax, instantly softening lines and wrinkles and reducing the severity of visible wrinkles.
Additionally, our experienced medical team of Doctors and Registered Nurses understand the science behind ageing. With years of experience and a deep understanding of facial anatomy, you’ll be in safe hands.
Myth 3: Anti-wrinkle injections create a frozen face
Probably one of the biggest myths associated with anti-wrinkle injections and cosmetic injectables more broadly, is that you’ll end up with an unnatural result and an inability to create facial expressions. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
It’s not about getting rid of every miniscule line. It’s about the prevention of those deeper lines that might bother you. Over time, your skin’s natural ability to protect itself reduces. Muscle contractions and movement leave their mark. Anti-wrinkle injections are a quick, affordable and effective wrinkle treatment to help reduce and prevent wrinkle formation
Myth 4: Dermal filler and anti-wrinkle injections are the same
Although both fall under the umbrella term of cosmetic injectable/cosmetic injections, dermal filler and anti-wrinkle injections are actually very different – both in substance and effect.
Anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles that may create fine lines and wrinkles. They also work to soften lines and aesthetically lift facial structures.
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, restore and add volume to facial tissue, giving you a youthful, plump look. They are generally used to add structure, definition and symmetry to the face.
Myth 5: Anti-wrinkle injections are just for women.
Flat out wrong. Myth, myth, myth.
In United Kingdom alone, $350 million worth of anti-wrinkle treatments to both males and female were given last year.
