Smile Lines around the eyes
Smile lines or laughter lines around the eyes are a type of wrinkle that is prominent when you smile or laugh. These lines are a normal part of ageing, but if they are overly defined, it can add years to your face. Due to the elasticity in your skin decreasing with age, a great way to combat these lines is through a few painless anti-wrinkle injections.
On the day of treatment
Precare
- We will go through your consent form, which will have been emailed before the session to you, and you will then be asked to sign a physical copy.
- The doctor will then cleanse your skin so that he can assess it.
- During his assessment, he will look at skin thickness and quality along with the underlying muscles to determine the injection points needed.
- The target area will be numbed if necessary and then treated with a microfine needle to minimise discomfort.
Our Process
On the market for more than 20 years, anti-wrinkle injections are safe, well-tested, and proven to be effective. The process involves using a small needle to inject the product into the muscle. This inhibits movement while leaving the skin smooth. As the muscle can’t move for a period of time, it gives the skin time to soften and disappear.
Attending the LumaDoc, you will go through an assessment with us so that we can examine the area of concern and what your needs are. Once the assessment is complete, the treatment should take no more than 20 minutes. It typically takes between 7-14 days for this treatment to take effect.
Post-care
- You might experience bruising the day after your procedure, which is entirely normal and typically subsides within 2-3 days. To mitigate this, refrain from consuming alcohol 24 hours before and after your treatment.
- Avoid applying heavy makeup or unnecessarily touching the treated area for 6 hours to minimise the risk of infection. Additionally, steer clear of Vitamin C, Retinol, AHA, and BHA skincare products for 24 hours post-treatment to allow for proper settling.
- Refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours to decrease the chance of the treatment shifting. Maintain an upright position for 4 hours to prevent unintended migration of the treatment.
- Abstain from engaging in strenuous exercise such as weight training or cross-fit for 24 hours, as it may occasionally cause the treatment to move to unintended areas. Stay away from saunas, jacuzzis, or hot baths for 24 hours post-procedure, as the heat can result in treatment migration.
- Limit alcohol intake to reduce the risk of bruising, and avoid sleeping on the treated area the night following your treatment.
