Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wrinkle injections and Botox?
Botox is a brand name for one type of botulinum toxin product. Wrinkle injections is the broader term covering all licensed botulinum toxin brands used cosmetically, including Botox (Allergan), Bocouture (Merz), Azzalure (Galderma), and Dysport. All work by the same mechanism — temporarily relaxing muscles to smooth wrinkles. Your practitioner in Portsmouth will recommend the product best suited to your needs.
How long do wrinkle injections last?
Results from wrinkle injections typically last 3-4 months. First-time patients may find the effects wear off slightly sooner. With regular treatments, some patients find they can extend intervals to 4-6 months as muscles become conditioned. Your practitioner in Portsmouth will recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule.
Are wrinkle injections painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch. The needles used are very fine (30-32 gauge). Some practitioners in Portsmouth apply topical numbing cream beforehand, though many patients find this unnecessary. The entire treatment typically takes 10-15 minutes.
What areas can be treated with wrinkle injections?
The most common areas are forehead lines, frown lines (between the eyebrows), and crow's feet. Advanced practitioners also treat bunny lines (nose), gummy smile, chin dimpling, neck bands (platysma), and jaw slimming (masseter). Not all clinics in Portsmouth offer advanced areas — check with your practitioner.
