FAQs:

How long does anti-wrinkle last? 

Anti-wrinkle lasts approximately 3 months for the relaxing of facial muscles (based on clinical studies). The treatment lasts longer in areas such as the masseter muscles and sweat glands with results expected up to 6 months. 

Why is my anti-wrinkle not lasting? 

Longevity depends on the type of anti-wrinkle used, dosage, its indication, particular muscle injected, compliance with aftercare and individual factors such as metabolism. 

Regular maintenance treatments are required and essential for long-lasting results. Your practitioner will discuss your treatment plan with you.

How often should I get hyperhidrosis treatment?

The effects of this treatment should last up to 6-9 months. Our doctors and nurses advise at least 1-2 treatments each year depending on the severity of symptoms and desired results.
