Botox
Starting in our mid twenties facial lines and wrinkles can begin to appear. Botox smooths out these lines and wrinkles making them almost, or even completely disappear. Botox is a prescription only medicine made from purified proteins.
Botox was first discovered in 1980 and used by Opthamologists to treat blepharospasm (uncontrolled blinking) and strabisums (crossed eyes), in 1989 the cosmetic side effects were reported and now Botox is the most popular non-surgical treatment for reducing lines and wrinkles caused by frowning, laughing and smiling.
It works by relaxing the muscle, blocking impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles so they don't contract. This gives a smoother appearence whilst still allowing normal facial expressions.
Botox can be used to give you a simple brow lift and also to treat frown lines to give you a more refreshed look. The results last between 3-6 months and used long term stops the formation of wrinkles. The use of Botox is not only a science but an art too.

Dermal Filler
Dermal fillers are used to improve the skins contour and to fill out minor to moderate lines and wrinkles.
The history of the use of dermal fillers goes back as far as the 1890's where fat was taken from a persons arm and injected into areas on their face that needed volume. In the 1900's silicone was used and then in 1980's collagen was first used. Today the most common type of dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid. The product we use is called Teosyal and is 100% hyaluronic acid and biocompatable.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural, major component of our skin and therefore allows passage of nutrients and cells. They also naturally rehydrate your skin from deep down where hydration gets lost during the aging process along with volume, as hyaluronic acid binds with water. The treatment is virtually painless and the results last between 3-18 months. Successive sessions maintain results where less product will be required each time thanks culmulative effect of the action of the product helps natuarally restore suppleness, elasticity and tone.
