by | Sep 25, 2018 | Health Care

One thing many of us seem obsessed with is fighting the effects of time and trying to slow down the process of aging. People want to look good and feel good too, especially when it comes to the physical toll time takes on their bodies. Here at the Skin Care Center of Southern Illinois, we offer Injectable Wrinkle Treatments in Mt. Vernon IL area and they continue to be some of our most popular treatments. Here are some of the most common questions we get asked about the treatments:

Is the procedure painful? The treatments are no more painful than a small needle prick. Some people feel a slight burning or tingling as the injection is made but this usually mild and very short lived. In addition, we use a topical numbing cream to reduce the amount of discomfort a patient may experience.

Are there any side effects or risks? As with any procedure there is a small chance for infection or an allergic reaction to the product but this is rare. The minor swelling and bruising some patients experience is typically gone within a day or two.

How long does it take? Usually only one main area is treated at a time; forehead, cheeks, neck, etc. and a treatment can be done in 20-30 minutes with almost no down time needed.

How soon can I see results? Results are often seen within 5-7 days, depending on swelling or bruising.

Will the results last? The results of the injections will last several months but will eventually need to be redone as the effects will wear off. These are not cure all treatments but can help to maintain a younger and healthier look.

Where can I get the treatments? You don’t have to go far to get these treatments as we offer injectable wrinkle treatments in Mt Vernon IL. Call us today to schedule your consultation!
