Aesthetic treatments are unregulated in the UK, therefore for your safety we highly recommend that you are treated by Medical Professionals to ensure you received the highest standard of treatment and care. At ACOSMETICS we are proud to work alongside ACE Group complications experts to ensure we adhere to this guidance and fulfill our promise to our clients. This is to ensure their safety is paramount while receiving injectable treatments and that our practice is up to date and is administered according to the best practice standards for cosmetic injectable treatments.

Prior to your antiwrinkle treatment, your practitioner will consult you on the treatments desired and assess if you are a suitable candidate.
The practitioner will take a medical history, discuss the treatment, side effects and post-care plan. Once the treatment plan is agreed and consent forms are signed, before and after photos are taken.

You can resume daily activities excluding exercise for 24 hours. It is common to have some redness and swelling following the treatment, although this usually resolves after a few hours.

Post-treatment there may be some tenderness, redness to the injection site, this is very normal and will subside, usually within a few days.

All cosmetic procedures carry risks and side effects.
Common temporary side effects can last up to 2 weeks, but usually lasting on average 3-7 days following your treatment, and include; Tenderness at the injection site, swelling at the injection site, Bruising and Headaches.

Less frequent side effects are; Infection, Allergic reaction, Brow or Eyelid ptosis, Spock eyebrows, and Forehead heaviness. We list other rarer side effects on the consent form with reference to your specific treatments.

The effects of anti-wrinkle toxins gradually fade but will last on average 3-6 months, depending on the treatment area and the individual’s lifestyle/ environment. When you start to notice the effects of your anti-wrinkle toxin wearing off you can repeat the treatment to maintain the appearance. It is advised that the anti-wrinkle injections should not be repeated more frequently than 3 months since the last treatment.
