• People who have previously had an allergic reaction to Botulinum toxin type A injections.
• People with muscle problems or chronic diseases affecting the muscles.
• Children under the age of 18 years.
• Women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
• People at risk of bleeding as there is an increased risk of bruising post procedure. those who are taking treatments with anticoagulant medicines such as Warfarin, Heparin, Aspirin.
• People with excessive weakness or wasting in the muscle to be injected, such as those patients with history of Stroke or Bell’s Palsy.

• The injections are relatively painless as the injections are performed using fine needle. This treatment takes about 15-20 minutes to perform and you are able to drive and go to work the same day

          How Long Do the Effects Last?

• It can take about 2-14 days to see the full effects after the initial treatment. The cosmetic effects can last up to six months but typically range from three to four months. Eventually, most people require re-treatment as the wrinkles reappear. 
• At Charlwood Aesthetics you will be offered a free 14 day top up if required.

• Most people find that the injections cause only mild local pain and tenderness. Immediately after the injection there may be mild swelling at the injection site which usually subsides within 48 hours. Slight bruising is also possible. Side effects of these treatments are very rare. Occasionally, the treatment may relax nearby muscle groups causing temporary drooping of the eyebrow or eyelids. This may last for a few weeks but will resolve with time. As with any medicine an allergic reaction may occur, this is however extremely rare.
