Anti-wrinkle Treatment

Botulinum toxin A is type of neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works directly on muscle to reduce muscle activity. It was approved in 1989 by the FDA in the US for control of muscle spasms such as blepharospasm and dystonia and was approved in 2002 to treat glabellar frown lines.

In its medically prepared format, it is a very effective treatment for frown lines on the forehead, the midline ‘11’ lines in the glabellar region as well as the creases around the eyes - crow’s feet’. By relaxing the muscles that create the wrinkles, the creases are minimised. This can bring about a freshened and more youthful appearance.

Effects will be seen from approximately 5 days and lasting effects from 2 weeks onwards. A free two week ‘top up’ is always offered.

In addition to its use in aesthetics, it is an effective treatment for excessive sweating - axillary hyperhidrosis as well as in other anatomical sites such as palms of hands and scalp. Please enquire for more details.

Fillers for volume

Juvederm is currently the most well known dermal filler used in the world. It comprises of different concentrations of a modified form of Hyaluronic Acid which is a naturally occurring substance found within the components of the skin. It provides lasting volume to improve on areas that have lost volume over time such as cheeks and tear troughs. It reduces the depth of skin creases around the mouth such as the nasolabial folds, marionette lines at the corner of the mouth and the jowl lines around the chin.

Fillers for augmentation

Juvederm fillers are also great for adding extra shape and form to both the upper and lower lips. I aim to provide an augmentation that adds fullness and projection to the lips in a natural way. Different products can be used to give a range of predictable results. Non-surgical rhinoplasty can also be achieved using fillers to correct specific anatomical variants in a tailored and expert way.
