Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

So how exactly does Botox anti-wrinkle treatment work? Simply by blocking the signal between nerves & muscles, which in-turn temporarily relaxes the facial muscles that cause wrinkles & fine lines, thus helping to smooth out lines & tighten your skin for an overall rejuvenated appearance.  This treatment is designed to soften the appearance of dynamic facial lines caused by repeated muscle movements, such as frowning, squinting & raising your eyebrows. Results show up in 3-7 days, peaks around 2 weeks in, and wears off gradually between 3-6 months.

What else can be done with Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Brow Lift:

• This is a non-surgical treatment that uses Botox to relax the ‘depressor’ muscles pulling the eyebrows down, allowing the natural forehead muscles to elevate the eyebrow arch. This treatment only takes about 10-15 minutes, and you will see your results within a few days.

Lip Flip:

• With the use Botox, this is a non-surgical treatment that targets the upper lip muscles to relax them. This lets the top lip roll slightly outward, creating a fuller, more defined look without adding actual volume. This treatment only takes about 10-15 minutes. In general it can take about a week to see results, which looks more natural in comparison to Lip Fillers.

Excessive Sweating:

• Suffer with Hyperhydrosis? Did you know that Botox can assist in alleviating the stress & anxiety caused by excessive sweating by targeting the sweat glands within the armpit, effects of this treatment lasts between 6 to 12 months. This treatment lowers your sweat production in the area treated by roughly 82%-87%. This treatment can take about 20-30 minutes to do, and results can be seen within 2-4 days.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a non-invasive & non-surgical way to create a youthful appearance using synthetic, non-permanent, hyaluronic acid-based products that are injected beneath the skin smoothing lines & adding fullness to the face. Dermal fillers are a gel-like substance that is injected under the skin to restore volume loss, smooth out fine lines & wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Practitioners typically use them to plump thin lips, define cheeks or jawline, and soften deep folds like smile lines. Dermal fillers typically last anywhere between 6-18 months, depending on the area treated. Our bodies make a natural enzyme, ‘hyaluronidase’, that break down the components of filler over time.

Profhilo

Profhilo is an injectable bio-remodelling treatment made of pure hyaluronic acid that deeply hydrates the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin without adding artificial volume or changing facial shape. Profhilo is a non-crossed linked, thermal-bonded hybrid cooperative complex that spreads evenly beneath the skin. It targets the skin’s fibroblasts to trigger the natural collagen and elastin production rather than plumping or sculpting  specific natural features. As a hydrophilic product, it draws & holds moisture to treat dull, tired and ageing skin. It is commonly used on the face, neck, decolletage & hands. Usually involves 2 sessions spaced out out about 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6-9 months.
