Botox®
The treatment is a revolutionary wrinkle reduction procedure that can reduce or eliminate wrinkles in the upper part of the face including forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows and crows feet around the eyes.
What does the treatment involve?
Botox® is the most common used term for Botulinum Toxin Type A which is a protein that weakens and inactivates muscles that wrinkle the skin. It is injected directly into these muscles with a very fine needle into several locations are usually needed at specific sites depending on the area treated and some localised discomfort and bruises can occur. However, normal activities can be resumed immediately after the treatment.
What are the results?
Botox® usually takes 24-72 hours after treatment to show results, with maximum effect at 1-2 weeks. Patients can expect results to generally last for approximately 3-4 months. However with repeated treatments the results are cumulative, as repetitive treatments tend to lead to longer lasting effects.
Dermal Fillers
A dermal filler is a substance which is injected into the skin to plump it up, making it firmer and smooth out lines and wrinkles. Fillers can be used to smooth out and reduce lines from around the lips, nose to mouth grooves, crows feet and forehead wrinkles.
Thousands of these types of treatments are performed each year and it has emerged as an exciting new treatment for ameliorating the visible signs of ageing.
Hydra Fill Softline
Provides a soft and natural feel within the skin, due to a high concentration of hyaluronic acid producing a good duration of effect.
What does the treatment involve?
For patient comfort a mild anaesthetic cream is applied to the area receiving treatment. The dermal filler is then injected into the skin beneath the wrinkle and it is normal to experience a small amount of redness around the treatment area, which may last a few hours.
What are the results?
Dermal fillers are quick and effective and the results are immediately noticeable.
