• Anti-wrinkle injections

WHAT ARE ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS AND HOW DO THEY WORK?

Anti-wrinkle injections employ a muscle relaxant, normally Botox® (on prescription) used for medicinal purposes to prevent muscle spasms and twitching. It is a naturally purified protein. When it is injected into the muscle it temporarily blocks the chemical signals that make the muscles contract. Only minute quantities are injected and only the injected muscle will be affected.

ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS SIDE EFFECTS?

Side effects are generally minimal, and temporary. Soreness or mild bruising, while uncommon, may occur around the injection site. Makeup may be applied after the treatment, but care should be taken to avoid pressing or massaging the area for several hours. A temporary headache is not uncommon after injections in the forehead area, especially after the first treatment. All of these possible effects are mild, reversible, and self-limiting.

• Dermal fillers

WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS AND HOW DO THEY WORK?

With age skin naturally starts to lose its elasticity as the collagen in the body starts to diminish. Injecting dermal fillers replaces the volume lost with age by plumping it up and making it firmer. This smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles, as well as rehydrating the skin from within.

Some clients refer to dermal filler treatments by their brand names, Restylane, Perlane, Juverderm, Collagen to name but a few. These are simply different makes of similar products much like Dior verses Chanel for example. We use a brand called TEOYSAL. The Teosyal range consists of 3 monophasic, hyaluronic acid based products of non-animal origin, which are highly biocompatible, offering patients immediate and long-lasting results with no preliminary testing.

• Chemical skin peels

HOW DO CHEMICAL FACE PEELS WORK?

Chemical peels are used on skins which are sun damaged, wrinkled, blemished, acne scarred or blotchy. They can revert the skin to its original youthful state creating a more evenly toned and textured appearance. Skin will look tighter and more youthful than before but it is important to note that chemical peel cannot remove all facial flaws. Deeper lines, wrinkles and other flaws may require a course of peels or indeed subsequent treatments. A small amount of acid is put onto the skin, and left on the skin for a short period. It is then neutralised and more acid is reapplied. The process takes 10-15 minutes to complete and the sensation is often described as a 'stingle'. Half way between a sting and a tingle meaning that it is not painful to have done.
