Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions by our clients.

If you have a question which is not listed here send us a message or book a consultation.

AnnaLouise uses nanosoft needles for the procedure. These are tiny micro needles which penetrate only just below the skin surface. The injections may still sting slightly, but the procedure is relatively quick and the cooling eye recovery mask effectively soothes the area post procedure.

No. NCTF135 is not designed to restrict movement in the facial muscles, so you will have full expression following treatment.

All possible side effects are fully discussed during the initial consultation. The most common side effects are local reactions at the injection site, and include redness and minor swelling. Although extremely rare other possible side effects can occur including bruising, haematomas, infection, oedemas, nodules and cysts. There have never been any reports of allergic reaction following treatment with NCTF135, however there is still a possibility in theory that this could occur.

This treatment is not approved for use in pregnancy, or while breast feeding. Other contraindications include known allergy to hyaluronic acid, or skin infection at the site of injection.

Both treatments stimulate collagen and elastin to improve skin quality, however Profhilo has very specific injection sites so covers a more widespread area. NCTF135 can be injected where it is needed most, so can be very targeted to address the precise areas requiring improvement. The recommended protocol for Profhilo is initially two sessions 1 month apart, whereas for NCTF135 it's three sessions 2 weeks apart.

There may be some tenderness, redness, swelling and bruising around the injection site, this is normal and will generally subside within a few days. Avoid makeup for 12 hours post treatment, and avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. It is recommended not to swim for 48 hours, and to avoid extreme temperatures (eg. saunas, sun beds) for a minimum of 7 days.
