BENEFITS OF BOTOX:

Wrinkle Reduction

Botox, derived from botulinum toxin, works by temporarily paralyzing or relaxing the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles. It's commonly used to soften or eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the forehead, eyes (crow's feet), and mouth.

Prevention of Wrinkles

Regular use of Botox can also prevent the formation of new wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles that contribute to lines and creases.

Non-Invasive Procedure

Botox injections are a non-invasive, minimally uncomfortable procedure compared to surgical cosmetic enhancements. There's typically minimal downtime or recovery needed after the injections.

Quick Results

Results from Botox injections are usually noticeable within a few days to a week, with the full effects becoming apparent within about two weeks. The treatment offers relatively quick results.

Temporary Solution

Botox is not a permanent treatment, which some individuals see as an advantage. The effects typically last for three to six months, and with continued treatments, the muscles may become trained to relax more, reducing the need for frequent injections.

Versatile Treatment

Beyond cosmetic benefits, Botox is used to address various medical conditions, such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), muscle spasticity, and overactive bladder.

Enhanced Facial Aesthetics

When administered properly, Botox injections can help create a smoother, more youthful ppearance by reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

WHAT TO EXPECT

With BOTOX, there is no necessary downtime. Most people are able to return to normal daily activities following the injection. At the beginning of the appointment, the professional who is administering the injections will usually apply an anesthetic cream around the areas that will be injected. The appointment should only take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on how many injections need to be administered. It typically takes three days to feel the muscles in the affected area start to relax. After one week, the improvement of wrinkles and lines should be apparent.

BOTOX injections yield excellent results for many individuals, however, the way the skin and muscles react to BOTOX injections varies from person to person. BOTOX injections are meant for healthy adults that are at least 18 years old. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not get BOTOX injections.

Lip Fillers are a type of dermal filler specifically designed to enhance the volume and shape of the lips, providing a fuller and more plump appearance

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a type of injectable, biocompatible gel used to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. Specifically, dermal fillers can:

Soften facial lines and wrinkles

Plump lips

Enhance shallow contours

Improve the appearance of scars

Reconstruct contour deformities in the face

Treatment with cosmetic injectable fillers is minimally invasive; in other words, no surgery is required.

WHAT ARE DERMA FILLERS MADE OF?

Derma Fillers are made with various kinds of safe, natural and man-made materials are used as dermal fillers; these have been specifically developed over the years for use in the skin.

Two kinds of dermal fillers are usually suggested for the face: semi-permanent and non-permanent. The semi-permanent type (e.g. Radiesse) lasts up to 18 months. The non-permanent fillers, such as, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) derived Restylane, last for around 6-12 months, depending upon the site of application and the formulation of the material used.

HYALURONIC ACID

Hyaluronic Acid is found naturally throughout our bodies: in our skin, bones, joints, and eyes. It acts as a lubricant and moisturizer due to its ability to attract and store water. Hyaluronic Acid is clinically produced, usually from bacterial, not from animal or human sources.

There are different brands that your practitioner may recommend and you will be advised about their side effects as well as their longevity.

HOW LONG DO DERMAL FILLERS LAST?

The length of time that dermal fillers last depends on the type of filler used and the area injected. On average, you would expect the results of a Hyaluronic Acid dermal filler to last around 6-12 months. Thicker dermal fillers tend to last longer than those used for finer lines. As the dermal filler is gradually broken down and the level of volume you gained lessens, you can choose to have the area ‘topped-up’ to retain the effect. However, if you decide not to, the advantage of non-permanent dermal fillers is that the area will gradually return to how it was before the treatment.

IS DERMA FILLER TREATMENT THE RIGHT PICK FOR YOU?

While HA Fillers are great for restoring a person’s youthful appearance, they might not be the best option for everyone. Before trying out any kind of aesthetic treatment, it’s important to consult a medical professional first to find out if it’s the right procedure for you.

You’re qualified for dermal filler injections if: You have realistic expectations about the treatment: Since dermal filler treatment is a non-surgical procedure, it doesn’t offer the same dramatic results that plastic surgery does. The injectable filler only treats a static wrinkle, recessed scar, or sunken cheeks. It won’t work on dark spots and blemishes caused by hyperpigmentation.

You understand the difference between Botox and dermal fillers: While they’re all used for giving the client a younger-looking appearance, a Botox injection works differently from a dermal filler injection. Talk to a cosmetic expert first to find out which injectable treatment is the right option for you.

Microneedling uses an electronic pen that contains tiny needles, which will move in a stamping motion across your skin to create thousands of microinjuries. These micro-injuries will stimulate growth factors deep within the skin. This process allows new collagen cells to grow without the risk of scarring.

Your provider will put a numbing cream on the area to be treated, which will be followed by a serum, which is needed for the pen to glide on. As the pen moves across your skin, you will feel vibrations that may be a bit uncomfortable, but definitely painless. Afterward, a topical cream will be applied to the area to soothe and seal the skin.

After the procedure, it’s natural for your skin to look and feel like it has a slight sunburn. The stinging and redness will go away within 24-48 hours. The skin may peel and usually, we will suggest just letting it fall off naturally. You will be advised on aftercare guidelines before you leave your session.
