Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics

“Soften and smooth the appearance of age-related facial lines ”

Due to popular demand we now offer treatments to soften and smooth the appearance of age-related facial lines so that your skin will look noticeably younger and smoother. We can also carry out treatments for lip enhancement.

The two main types of injectable treatments used are; Botulinum Toxin (Botox) and Dermal Fillers. These are often used in combination to achieve the best results. We welcome you for a free consultation so we can discuss the most appropriate type of treatment for you and explain the type of results you should expect.

 

Botox

Botulinum Toxin A has been used safely for over 20 years to treat a number of medical conditions including facial tics, muscle spasms and excessive sweating. It is an effective and now well established treatment for lines and wrinkles. It works by relaxing the muscles which cause wrinkles by repeated movement.

The most common areas treated are the frown lines between the eye brows, forehead lines, and crows feet wrinkles that extend around the eyes.

The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes. Botox is administered with minimal discomfort with a fine needle, targeting specific muscles. The injections may cause slight swelling and reddening of the area which resolves within 1-2 hours.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to soften and contour lines, folds and wrinkles. The most commonly used dermal fillers are collagen based or hyaluronic based. The solution is injected into the skin to add volume and create a more youthful appearance.

Dermal fillers can be used to fill age-related lines of the upper and lower facial areas, and also to enhance lip volume and improve the mouth shape.

The procedure takes about 30-40 minutes depending on the number of areas treated.
