TFT - Total Facial Transformation

JUVÉDERM® fillers have a substance called anaesthetic lidocaine that reduces discomfort during the treatment process. Dr Michael Szypulski here at M & M Aesthetics can also apply a topical numbing cream (lidocaine) to the injection sites.

You should be able to see results shortly after the treatment and be able to return to your normal daily activities depending on the treatment.

You may notice the following temporary side effects around the injection site:
● Redness
● Swelling
● Itching
● Pain
● Tingling/numbness
● Firmness/bumps
● Bruising
● Discolouration

There is always the risk of infection with any injection. Lip injections may result in more swelling and bruising. Reactions could occur right away or could take up to a week to present. However, if any of these side effects last longer than a week, contact us as soon as possible.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Microdamage stimulates collagen and elastin to plump the skin.
Facial Skin Laxity: Microneedling increases the production of collagen and elastin to firm skin.
Uneven Skin Tone: Hyperpigmented collections are broken down to be recycled via microneedling.
Uneven Skin Texture: Microneedles destroy areas of damaged and dead skin cells.
Acne Scars: Microneedles breaks down scar tissue .
Stretch Marks: Microdamage breaks down old cells and PRP promotes new cell growth.

ost patients recover within five days following a microneedling with PRP procedure. Redness, dryness, and some skin flaking are typical during the first few days of the healing process. Avoiding tanning beds, swimming, and strenuous activity for at least one day is recommended. Careful skincare and limited sun exposure are also highly encouraged.

Possible side effects of a microneedling with PRP procedure include prolonged erythema lasting two to three days, warm, tight, itchy, and dry skin, or the development of patches of hypopigmentation.

The results of a microneedling with PRP treatment will not be apparent immediately, and will slowly evolve over four to eight weeks as the body heals. Skin will appear tighter, smoother, and more even with a brighter complexion. Maintenance treatments are usually performed every six months.

Injections usually take effect 24 to 72 hours after the appointment and reach their maximum effects in 1 to 2 weeks. The wrinkle-smoothing effects usually last between 3 to 6 months, while the period of excessive sweating can last longer, from 9 to 12 months. You can receive another treatment after you notice a diminishing of the effects.

Anti-wrinkle injections last around 3 to 6 months. You can book your next appointment after that timeframe to maintain the results.

The needle used in botulinum injections is very fine, so any discomfort you may feel at the entry of the needle will be minimal. You can also take painkillers beforehand, but we advise against anything anti-inflammatory, like ibuprofen, that can cause excessive bleeding.

There are no major risks associated with botulinum injections. You may experience facial weakness in the targeted areas and their surrounding muscles or upper eyelid drooping limited to 1:100 after an injection above the eyebrows. Eye drooping will improve over time or be corrected with eye drops.

There is no recovery period. Patients can continue with their normal routines the day after getting injections.
