Facial Rejuvenation Injections
What is Facial Rejuvenation Injectionsand how does it work?
Botulinum toxin is a natural purified protein that is used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. It can also be used to treat medical conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and migraine. It’s also known as ‘anti-wrinkle injections’.
Who would this treatment suit?
This treatment can be used on a wide range of patients, and is primarily used for skin rejuvenation and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
What result does the treatment aim to provide?
The treatment is used to soften the lines caused by facial expression and can be adjusted to ensure natural results. The duration of results is variable between individuals but ranges from 3 to 6 months
DERMAL FILLERS
What are fillers and how do they work?
As we age, the natural collagen and elastin in the skin lessens, cells lose their ability t produce more of their youthful component. The skin becomes dryer, thinner and less able to fix itself. When we are born we have plentiful amounts of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in our body, but as we get older the store of HA diminishes, leaving the skin less well supported, and so lines and wrinkles develop. By lifting and smoothing targeted folds and wrinkles by adding subtle volume, dermal fillers can make a difference to a person’s appearance, giving them a fresher look.
Who would this treatment suit?
Facial fillers can be used on a wide range of patients, and are primarily used for skin rejuvenation and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Other suitable candidates are those seeking to add structure and volume to the face. We see a lot of patients who have lost volume to their face due to living a very active, high impact lifestyle (such as runners). Fillers help to restore that volume loss that naturally begins to occur when we reach our late thirties and in turn give a brighter, fresher appearance.
Who should avoid treatments?
Treatments are not advisable to those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. People with specific medical conditions or on particular medications may not be suitable for these treatments. It is best to speak to your own GP or speak to us at the clinic regarding suitability.
How soon before a big event should you have treatments done?
Ideally, at least 2 months before the big event is a good time to come and see us. If you are super organised – up to 6 months before especially if you are getting married is a good time to have a consult and consider treatments available.
