Anti-wrinkle injection treatments have significantly increased in popularity in recent years, helping people to look and feel younger. On of the most commonly asked question we get at Skinnou for is ‘Are anti-wrinkle injections painful?’. This answer is that when anti-wrinkle injections are administered correctly by a professional, they can be completely pain-free.
In this blog, we will look at how anti-wrinkle injection treatment can be made as comfortable as possible, particularly for those with a fear of needles.
What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are an anti-aging treatment which can be used to smooth the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and deep folds giving a younger, more rejuvenated look.
Anti-wrinkle injections contain the naturally occurring Botulinum A protein which works to relax facial muscles thereby reducing the appearance of dynamic lines and wrinkles.
Some of the areas anti-wrinkle injections can be used to treat:
- Crow’s feet
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Smokers’ lines
Anti-wrinkle injections can be administered relatively quickly following consultation, with appointments normally lasting between 30 minutes to an hour. The results from treatment can be generally seen almost immediately. You should notice an improvement in your lines and wrinkles after 4-10 days of having the treatment with results lasting up to 4-6 months.
Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections Painful?
Those who are new to anti-wrinkle injection may have a lot of fear around pain. This is as 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 have different pain thresholds. However, when it comes to anti-wrinkle injections, most people compare the sensation of the face injections a slight pinching feeling, which it only lasts for a few seconds.
