Top 10 FAQs
Do anti‑wrinkle injections hurt?
Most clients describe a small pinch or scratch. We can apply numbing cream if you’re nervous, and the process usually only takes a few minutes.
What’s the difference between Azzalure and Botox?
Both are botulinum toxin type A injectables, but Edit HQ uses Azzalure—a licensed alternative in the UK with comparable results and safety.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Depending on the area and product, fillers typically last 6–18 months. High-movement areas (like lips) may fade sooner than static areas like cheeks.
Will I look ‘overdone’?
Never. Our approach is subtle enhancement—most people will see you look refreshed and not know you’ve had treatment.
Can men have these treatments too?
Absolutely. While most clients are women, many men have successful treatments to soften lines or boost skin quality.
Is there any downtime?
Most treatments involve minimal downtime. Slight redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides within a few hours. Aftercare advice is always given.
How soon will I see results?
Anti‑wrinkle injections show results in 2–3 days (full effect by day 10). Fillers provide immediate volume (though swelling may take a couple of days to settle), and skin boosters improve over time.
Are results permanent?
No. Most effects are temporary—anti‑wrinkle injections last 3–4 months; fillers can last longer. Regular maintenance treatments help preserve results.
Is it safe to combine treatments?
Yes—many clients benefit from combining treatments like injectables and skin boosters. Our team will assess your skin and recommend a safe, customized plan.
What qualifications do your practitioners have?
All treatments at Edit HQ are performed by qualified, experienced professionals with medical/aesthetic training. We follow strict protocols and use only UK-approved products.
