Botox

Botox is now commonly used for facial rejuvenation procedures to give a non-surgical face-lift. Botox is great for the treatment of expression lines such as 'Crow’s Feet' and forehead frown lines. These lines are caused when overactive muscle movement wears away the collagen in the skin, which in turn causes the skin to crease or 'wrinkle'. Botulinum toxin works by relaxing muscle and thus preventing wrinkles and smoothing out lines.

Botox is a safe to use bacterial toxin which when injected into the facial muscles in minute quantities relaxes the muscles and effectively improves the appearance of wrinkles that are caused by the movement of these muscles. The procedure is painless and takes about 10 minutes. Botox injections need to be repeated approximately every 3 - 4 months as the botox is broken down by the body.

Restylane

Dermal fillers such as restylane are frequently used to treat deep smile lines, smoker’s lines around the lips, cheek contour depressions, and facial scars. Dermal fillers can also be used to 'plump up' the lips and add fullness to them.

Dermal fillers such as restylane are based on a degradable hyaluronic acid in the form of a clear gel. This gel is injected into the skin to create volume, smooth out wrinkles and restore fullness to lips. Due to its degradable nature dermal fillers also need to be injected regularly. Results generally last approximately 6-9 months depending on area treated, and it is fine to have treatment repeated once or twice yearly.

Restylane is made from a natural substance called HA, normally found in much higher quantities in young skin. HA works by retaining water in the skin to keep it young and fresh. As we get older the concentrations fall making the skin appear stretched and loose, so we use injections of HA called Restylane, made in a very pure form from a non-animal process, to replace what has been lost through age and lasts for 6-9 months.

Chemical Peels

Chemical Peeling is exactly what it says - peeling of the skin using a chemical.

A chemical peel removes the outer layers of the skin.

This freshens the skin, removes some sunspots and rough scaly patches, and reduces freckles and irregular pigmentation.

It also reduces fine wrinkles.

Chemical peels can also be used to ease / treat the following conditions:

• reduce fine wrinkling
• treat areas of dryness
• reduce uneven pigmentation
• aid in the control of acne
• smooth rough dry skin
• improve the texture of sun-damaged skin
