Botox® and Collagen Fillers                                      

The MHRA granted a license for cosmetic use of Botox® in February 2006. Also known as Vistabel®, Botox® has in recent years grown beyond its 'Hollywood' reputation to become an acceptable, mainstream solution to addressing and managing the natural ageing process.

By reducing the frownlines, laughter lines at the cornner ofthe eyes and worry lines on the forehead it is possible to turn back the years and gain renewed confidence.

 

Before   and                                                       After  Botox®

How does it work?

As skin ages lines and wrinkles start to form these become permanent with repeated use of the facial muscles.Botox® temporalily inhibits the chemical transmitters that allow the muscle to contract. As the muscles relax they are prevented from creasing the skin and it is able to recover.

Muscles have a "memory" which gets used to familiar facial expressions eg. frowning, by preventing the muscles from doing what they are used to they loose their "memory" and further damage is prevented.

The areas treated by Botox® appear smooth and wrinkles are reduced.The effect can last for about 4 months.

What happens during treatment?

A very fine needle is inserted precisely though several layers of the skin and a small amount of diluted Botox ® is injected. Local anaesthetic cream may be applied to the areas prior to treatment and the procedure is relatively painless.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are very rare, though bruising is the most common. There are others but all possibilities will be explained to you in detail before any treatment takes place.

Botox® treatments are safe, effective and very quick. The results are not immediately visible but will become apparent within 3-10 days.

  Dermal Fillers using  Juvéderm® ULTRA              

Before and	After dermal lip filler

Most people want to look as youthful as they possibly can. if you are serious about looking good and are worried by the subtle changes that time inflicts, then collagen fillers such as Juvederm may be for you - it's the obvious choice to fill lines, wrinkles and skin depressions.

JUVÉDERM® ULTRA

 

Juvéderm® ULTRA is a new generation of dermal fillers from ALLERGAN, a world leader in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic products. It’s a natural, biodegradable gel that flows easily into your skin, instantly filling out those troublesome lines leaving a smooth and natural look and feel. So, you’ll notice an immediate difference after just one treatment.

 

Possibly the biggest difference is that ALLERGAN have asked patients what they want, the most common request is that the injection experience is more comfortable. ALLERGAN listened to this feedback and have added lidocaine, an anaesthetic commonly used by dentists and doctors for local numbing to Juvéderm® ULTRA in order to improve the experience, and results seen. The Juvéderm® family of products last longer than other formulas—at least 12 months due to the unique way they are made.

 

Juvéderm® ULTRA comes in three formulations for more natural-looking, customisable results.

 

Juvéderm® ULTRA 2 Erases moderate lines, especially those around the lips and corners of the eyes and those very close to the surface of the skin.

 

Juvéderm® ULTRA 3 Smoothes wrinkles between the nose and corner of the mouth and around lips. It can be used very subtly to plump out lips in order to maintain a youthful smile.

 

Juvéderm® ULTRA 4 Works on the most noticeable folds and lines, and improves the contour of the face.

 

For treating scarred and pitted skin

In a skilled hand Juvéderm® ULTRA can be used for reducing and softening facial scars, either those from old injuries or from skin complaints such as acne. Scars generally form a depression in the skin Juvéderm® ULTRA is used to lift this area and blend it in with the surrounding skin.

An easy process in skillful hands

Juvéderm® ULTRA is quick, easy and in skillful hands, is performed with the minimum discomfort. Treatment visits should only take 30 minutes. Repeat treatments can be given whenever you see the need for improvment again. Sometimes these further treatments require less collagen than your initial treatment.

Naturally, you will receive a pre-treatment consultation where you will discuss your needs in full and your practitioner will advise on the best way to achieve the desired results.
