Facial Rejuvenation and Aesthetics
Wrinkle softening
Botulinum toxin
Botox is the material used to minimise the appearance of worry lines, crows feet, laughter lines and other wrinkles. These wrinkles occur when we smile, laugh or frown, and the delicate muscles underlying the skin contract. Botox is injected into the muscles and works by weakening these small facial muscles precisely. Following treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and wrinkle free while untreated muscles contract normally, allowing facial expression to remain unaffected.
Botox injections have been safely and effectively used for over 10 years. Thousands of injections are performed each year and Botox is an exciting treatment for fighting the visible signs of ageing.
How are Botox injections performed?
Botox injections are a simple, safe and effective procedure. A very small amount of Botox is injected with a very fine needle into several locations in the face. Because the needle is so fine and only a tiny amount of liquid is used, there is minimal pain associated with the injections. No sedation or local anaesthetic is required, and you can drive and engage in all of your normal daily activities immediately after your injections. You may have slight temporary bruising of the skin at your injection sites, but otherwise, there will be no visible signs that you have had treatment.
Are there any side effects?
The risk of side effects depends on the muscles injected and because Botox is completely reversible, any side effects are temporary, usually only lasting a number of days.
What kind of results can I expect?
By having this form of treatment, it will actively help in maintaining a more youthful appearance. Botulinum toxin injections will not however remove lines that are present when the face is at rest but again will drastically affect those that become obvious in facial expression.
The results do vary from person to person but normally onset of the treatment is evident after 3-4 days and retreatment is not usually necessary before 3-4 months.
Lip enhancements and nose to mouth line filling
Healthy skin contains important components that keep it looking supple and youthful. One of these is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar found in all living cells that helps maintain skin volume by attracting and binding over 1000 times its weight in water. However, over time, sunlight and other factors can cause the hyaluronic acid in your skin to diminish. Your skin loses volume and lines and wrinkles begin to appear. You can temporarily replace your skin's lost hyaluronic acid using Hydrafill® gel. Hydrafill is a dermal filler made from a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid that mimics the effects of natural hyaluronic acid.
When injected just below the surface of the skin, Hydrafill adds volume to the skin, smoothing unwanted lines and wrinkles. Hydrafill provides immediate, natural looking results. Treatment and recovery normally take as little as one hour. Hydrafill can be used to smooth the lines between the nose and mouth and also to create fuller more luscious lips.
With time, Hydrafill gradually breaks down and is naturally reabsorbed by your body and touch-up treatments are recommended two or three times a year to maintain optimal correction.
Benefits of Hydrafill treatment:
• No pre-treatment skin test required
• Immediate results with proven safety
• Used in international markets for nearly a decade
• Mild adverse post treatment responses (such as redness, bruising and swelling)
