Anti Wrinkle treatment

about anti wrinkle injections
A Toxin was first used in the 1970s to treat children with squints. It’s cosmetic potential was then recognised, and it has been used to treat wrinkles since 1990, but much longer for medical reasons. A convenient alternative to surgery, it is possible to use injections with the toxin to reduce and relax frown lines, forehead lines and laughter lines around the eyes. The benefits of toxin injections are visible within 7 to 10 days of the treatment. They will last for three to four months when you first start having these injections, giving the face a smoother, more rested appearance. This is a preventative treatment, and with repeat injections over time, the less you will need.

The toxin is known to help your body ‘naturally’ retrain itself to help further reduce such things as frown lines. When injected with the toxin, the muscles are temporarily immobilised which means that you will not be using those muscles that form the face into a frown. As a pleasant side effect of this, tension headaches and migraines will be reduced as well.

a word of caution
Those lines caused by sun-damaged skin or age-related sagging of the skin cannot be effectively treated with the toxin.

dermal fillers

about dermal fillers
When injected with a very fine needle into the crease line, the gel creates volume under the wrinkles, lifting up and smoothing out lines. As we get older our skin loses moisture, and we see lines and wrinkles develop. Hyaluronic Acid is the substance naturally present in our cells which keeps the skin smooth and supple, along with collagen and elastin. An injection of Hyaluronic Acid can restore skin volume and reduce wrinkles. The gel breaks down naturally over a period of 5 to 12 months.

The Dermal fillers we offer are all of non-animal origin, requiring no skin test prior to injection. So it is possible to go ahead immediately in the same session as your consultation. You will see the results instantly.

fat dissolving injections

In recent years, fat dissolving injections have gained popularity as a non-surgical option for facial aesthetics. These injections are designed to break down and dissolve stubborn fat pockets, helping to contour and sculpt the face without the need for invasive surgery. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at fat dissolving injections for facial aesthetics, including how they work, their benefits, and potential risks.

what are the benefits of fat dissolving injections for facial aesthetics?
There are several benefits to opting for fat dissolving injections for facial aesthetics:
Non-surgical: Unlike surgical procedures such as facelifts or liposuction, fat dissolving injections are non-surgical, meaning that there is no need for incisions or general anesthesia. This makes them a popular choice for individuals who want to achieve a more youthful, contoured look without the risks associated with surgery.

Minimal downtime: Because fat dissolving injections are non-surgical, there is typically minimal downtime associated with the treatment. Most individuals are able to return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure, although some swelling and bruising may occur.
Targeted results: One of the major benefits of fat dissolving injections is that they can be used to target specific areas of the face, such as under the chin or around the jowls. This allows for a more precise and tailored approach to facial contouring.



how to fat dissolving injections work?
Fat dissolving injections, also known as lipolytic injections, typically contain deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps to break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the skin, deoxycholic acid works to break down and dissolve fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body's lymphatic system.During the treatment, the injection site is carefully mapped out to ensure that the desired areas are targeted. The injection itself may cause some mild discomfort, but this can be managed with the use of a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic.
