Non Surgical Treatments

Botulinum toxin, known more commonly as Botox, is an injection that relaxes the muscles in the face and smoothes out wrinkles or crease lines such as those on the head (caused by frowning), or near the eyes (crow's feet). The effects of cosmetic botox injections can last up to four months of average depending on the makeup of the product and the practitioner performing your treatment. Botox is considered safe for cosmetic use and aims to relax the muscles so that the surface of the skin looks smoother with less visible lines. However, there are some potentially serious risks and side effects associated with botox injections that are particularly linked to the incorrect placement within the facial muscles. For this reason, every person considering botox, whether female or male, should choose an experienced cosmetic surgeon or practitioner.

Dermal fillers, also known as lip and face fillers, are injectables of gel made up mostly of hylauronic acid designed to add volume to the soft tissue of your face and fill in wrinkles. Procedures involving dermal fillers are minimally invasive and work by restoring volume that may be lost through ageing or other means. They can be injected into many parts of the face, including; lips, cheeks, jaw and around the eyes. As people age, their bodies stop producing natural collagen, which contributes to looking youthful. Dermal fillers act as a replacement for this lost collagen and elastin to restore volume, lift and plump parts of the face. Most dermal filler procedures take between 15 and 30 minutes to perform depending on the treatment area and can last between six and eighteen months.
