Neck Rejuvenation
1. In a nutshell what is Neck Rejuvenation?
Neck Rejuvenation is a nonsurgical alternative to a face lift, with many patients opting to correct sagging skin and lines with injectables.
Injectables in the neck is injected into the platysma muscles. These muscles play a vital role in the drooping of the jaw muscles.
By using injectables, the muscles will relax and the skin will droop less and appear tighter and smoother.
2. Who is suitable for Neck Rejuvenation?
Patients most suitable for neck rejuvenation treatment are those with loose and saggy skin, patients who tense their neck, patients with vertical lines on the neck and patients who are experiencing sagging skin due to weight loss.
Patients who are suffering from severe cases of sagging skin on the neck are not suitable for this treatment and are better suited to a surgical option.
3. In a nutshell what is an injectable?
Injectable Toxin is a skin treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and in doing so prevents the signs of ageing.
Injectable Toxin is a quick and convenient treatment to smooth out those lines without any need for surgery.
Injectable Toxin has become a massively popular treatment all over the world, with 6 million treatments being carried out every year.
Injectable Toxin is injected into the muscular tissue, and can only be administered by a trained doctor.
4. How does Injectable Toxin work?
Injectable Toxins work by preventing the muscles in the target areas from contracting. When Injectable Toxin is injected there is no transfer of a signal from the nerve to the muscle telling them to contract.
It is this contraction of muscles, which occur on the face thousands of times a day which create wrinkles and lines.
After being treated with Injectable Toxin you will still be able to laugh, smile and facial expressions will not disappear. There will however, be less movement in the treated areas, creating a smooth look.
5. Are there risks or side effects?
There is always a risk of side effects with every treatment and Injectable Toxin is no exception. However, possible side effects are short lived and not harmful, such as pain and redness.
Only a very few patients experience slight bruising. Patients may experience trouble swallowing for some months after treatment.
6. Post Treatment Advice/Care
After treatment patients can carry on with their normal daily routine.
We would advise patients to avoid heavy work outs for 24 hours and to avoid rubbing the treated area, this will avoid spreading the Injectable Toxin to other areas of the face.
Using sunscreen is important to withstand the effects of ageing, patients should also apply retinol cream.
We would advise patients who have an event coming up, to book in for Injectable Toxin at Dental & Skin 3-4 weeks before the event.
7. Can everyone have Injectable Toxins for Neck Rejuvenation?
We find that most patients are suitable to receive Injectable Toxin treatment. However, Injectable Toxin can not be carried out for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Injectable Toxin can also not be carried out on patients who have diseases related to muscle activity or, who have bleeding disorders.
