We now have a specialist in botox treatments,

In today's world where the way we look is such an important
part of the way we feel it is good to know that you couldn't
be in safer hands. We have detailed some Do's
and Don'ts below and the answer to the most commonly asked
question - Will it Hurt?
The Treatments
BOTULINUM TOXIN (Botox)
Botulinum toxin act by stopping the chemical reaction
that makes muscles contract. Whilst the muscles are relaxed,
lines and wrinkles are less visible and the skin has time
to repair itself.
The effect starts within a week of the injections
and lasts about 3-4 months. After three treatments the effect
becomes longer lasting as the skin quality improves. The safety
of botox is now well established and it is the most commonly
used aesthetic trechnique in over 70 countries around the
world.
The quality of the work depends on the skill
of the practioner. The ideal outcome is a soft and youthful
whilst maintaining facial expression.
Treating fine lines and wrinkles
Frown lines, crows feet and lip lines respond well to injectable
treatments and any deeper creases can be softened with non-animal
fillers.
Dermal Fillers - Hyaluronic acid
gels
There are many "fillers" on the market and they
are all used to create volume in the skin and fill out lines
and wrinkles. Some, such as Collagen, are derived from animal
products. Others are plant derived and are based on a naturally
occurring acid gel.
The highest quality plant derived gels are
the Restylane products and it is these that we recommend.
Thinner gels are used for fine lines and thicker ones for
deeper folds. Each product is injected into a different layer
of the skin allowing a natural semi-permanent effect to develop
which lasts for 3-6 months.
Hyaluronic acid gels are considered very
safe and avoid the "trout pout" look that can be
used by the permanent fillers.
Skin rejuvenation
As you get older two things happen to your skin. The top layer
of the skin (dermis) becomes cracked and tired and the layers
beneath dry out and lose elasticity. For those that want to
avoid a radical solution such as surgery, marked improvement
in the skin quality can be made using fruit acid peels, crystal
exfoliation and water reaining gels. A deep peel will also
remove some wrinkles.
Will it hurt?
This has to be our most commmonly asked
question and the answer is NO!
Many treatment can be made comfortable by
the simple application of an ice-pack others are easily tolerated
a few minutes after rubbing in some aesthetic cream. Extremely
tender areas such as lips can be numbed by a small injection
much the same way as your dentist does.
