Glass Facial

The Glass Facial involves injection of a cocktail of anti-wrinkle product (Botox, Dysport or Xeomin) with dermal filler using a V2 (nine-needle) Injector gun.

Injection of anti-wrinkle and filler via this method is an off-label use of these products.

Dermal Filler consists of hyaluronic acid which increases hydration and improves the appearance of lines, wrinkles and scarring. These injections consist of mainly water, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and amino acids.

Anti-wrinkle products connsist of Botulinum Toxin, a purified protein produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum.

• Face

• Neck

• Décolletage

• Results are visible 1-3 weeks after the procedure. Results are temporary and typically last for 3-6 months but this can vary between patients and does depend on the treatment area and product prescribed. Dermal filler will gradually and naturally degrade in the body.

• Topical creams

• Chemical peels

• Laser treatments

• Exion Ultrasound RF

• Hydrafacial

The prescribed product is injected into the required area using a v2 injectable gun. The injections may sting for a few seconds, but a numbing agent may be used for comfort. The procedure will take around 30 – 45 minutes to complete.

Following your treatment you may experience bruising, swelling and petechiae bruising. 

• Bleeding, bruising, haematoma, damage to underlying structures. In rare cases this could cause continuous problems in appearance, sensation or function and may require medical intervention to treat or may be permanent.

• Bacterial, viral or fungal infections can occur post procedure. Rarely infections can occur months later as biofilm reactions. Injections in the lip area may trigger recurrence of cold sores which may require treatment.

• Reactions rarely occur but can include an immediate reaction causing swelling, and very rarely life-threatening anaphylaxis. Delayed reactions localised to the skin can cause nodules, lumps or bumps or very rarely sterile abscesses.

• Lumps, Bumps, Swellings: Temporary unwanted visual side effects may cause dissatisfaction or distress, and include an increase in asymmetry, swelling, lumps, bumps, puffiness, or surface irregularities.

• The procedure can be are rarely associated with skin pigment changes, the formation of thread veins or new capillaries, and other blemishes. These may be temporary, require further intervention, or may be permanent.

• In rare instances the blood supply can be blocked by filler resulting in localised tissue death causing permanent scarring. In extremely rare cases affecting the eye or parts of the brain can result in blindness or stroke.

• Occasionally the treatment wears off very quickly.

• Results are temporary, and several sessions may be needed for optimal results and further expenditure will be required

• With all treatments the precise degree of improvement cannot be guaranteed. The outcome’s subjective nature also means dissatisfaction is a possible outcome regardless of effectiveness of treatment
