The Truth About Wrinkles: Anti-Ageing Myth Busted
What’s the most effective anti-ageing treatment? It's a commonly Googled question that can lead down the internet rabbit hole. If you’ve ever been on a quest to discover the newest strategies for dewy, firm, and glowing skin, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Searching for the right cosmetic product can feel like being pulled in different directions.
Cut back on the guesswork and follow scientifically backed advice for understanding how to approach anti-ageing treatment.
Double-masked placebo-control clinical studies have found that a brand is not a determining factor for effective treatment results. These studies found a weak correlation between specific anti-wrinkle brands and positive treatment results. Clinical studies have had no statistically significant results to suggest otherwise. The brand of medication should not affect or alter the results. Therefore, a neurotoxin brand does not always play a significant role in the result of treatment; one might be a better fit because of the patient’s preference. It is a combination of product placement, an understanding of muscle function and a practitioner’s deep understanding of a patient’s needs that significantly affects the treatment outcome.
However, there are some pharmacological differences between brands. Our practitioners are always happy to discuss the product and differences among medications, investigating your skincare needs thoroughly individually. We only say no to the ‘UK brand’ if you have an anaphylactic reaction to lactose. ‘German brand’ is also more suitable if you choose a vegan lifestyle. Finding your fit is the most important thing. At our clinic, Nurse Pam will explain why we think a particular brand suits you.
The process of treatment is multifactorial. You cannot rely on a brand to promise great results, and a marketing spiel on a glossy plastic bottle shouldn’t determine what anti-ageing treatment works best for you.
