A thorough consultation is carried out by Dr Sandy and the delicate forehead is assessed alongside the rest of your features to figure out where the injection should be strategically placed. It is placed using a needle or cannula (flexible needle) directly under the skin and tissues. 

There is an instant plumping up which reduces any dips and shadows. Dr Sandy uses different techniques based on the forehead shape and deficiency and uses both a cannula and needle for fine tweaks. A cannula reduces the risk of bruising. 

The treatment is minimally invasive and well tolerated. Once the injection sites have been cleansed numbing cream is applied to reduce discomfort and the cream has taken effect the injection are delivered in a slow safe manor to minimise any discomfort. The injection also contains anaesthetic so this continues to reduce discomfort as treatment progresses. 

Results with forehead are instant, however they get better after a few weeks once it has fully integrated. Sometimes there can be mild swelling, redness or bruising and once this has settled the final result can be seen. It is very important to not overfill the forehead area as this can lead to puffiness and an unnatural result. Dr Sandy is always happy to arrange follow ups with patients should they feel they need them. 

Injections in the forehead last around 12-18 months depending on a patients lifestyle and metabolism. It will naturally break down overtime and more can be added if needed. 

Once treatment has been carried out Dr Sandy will go through the aftercare and there is occasional risk of redness, bruising and swelling due to the face having many blood vessels.  There is very rare risk of blocking vessels and this will be discussed in detail at your appointment.
