We also use Anti-wrinkle injections to treat other conditions such as Bruxism and Hyperhidrosis.

A: The effects of anti-wrinkle injections typically last between 3 to 6 months. The duration may vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism and the area treated. All clients will receive a 14 day review after anti-wrinkle injection treatment to assess response and the need for a top up dose.

Q: What areas can be treated with anti-wrinkle injections?
A: Anti-wrinkle injections are commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. They can also be used for other areas as recommended by our practitioners. We can use the injections to treat downward turned smiles, gummy smiles and perform Lip flip treatments.
Dermal Fillers
Q: What are dermal fillers?
A: Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth out wrinkles. At Glow By Dr Zahrah, we use the best injectable dermal filler products that are licensed in the UK- Teoxane and Juvederm. These products are shown to give the best outcome for volume restoration and will also last longer than other filler products. This means you need less treatments overall.
Q: How long do dermal fillers last?
A: The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. Most dermal fillers can maintain the desired results for 12 to 18 months.

A: Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the lips, cheeks, jawline, and under-eye areas. They are also effective for smoothing nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

A: Common side effects of dermal fillers include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These effects usually subside within a few days. Serious complications are rare when treatments are performed by qualified practitioners. We will always fully disclose all anticipated complications and side effects of all of our treatments before beginning a procedure.
