Botulinum Toxin/Botox®:
Also known as anti-wrinkle or tox, Botulinum toxin is injected into the muscle to prevent muscle movement causing lines in the skin. I use Botox®, the most commonly known brand. Common treatment areas include Frown, Forehead, Crow’s Feet or Platysma, also know as a “Nefertiti neck lift”. I can also treat under arms for excessive sweating, also known as Hyperhidrosis. Queries about other areas can be discussed during your complementary consultation.
Dermal Filler:
Juvederm® filler is used to treat different areas on the face. It is a temporary filler made from Hyaluronic Acid. It can be used to restore lost volume and fill lines in the skin or augmenting and defining areas on the face. Filler is used to treat Cheeks, Lips, Periorals/Lip lines (Smoker’s lines), Marionettes, Nasolabial folds, Chin & Jawline.
Please note: I do not offer tear trough, nose or temple filler
Microneedling:
Microneedling, also known as Derma needling or Collagen Induction Therapy, uses micro needles to penetrate the skin to trigger the body’s own natural healing response, which boosts collagen production. It is great for improving fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, pigmentation, reducing pore size and helps with acne scarring. Optional add ons of either NCTF or prescription growth factor.
NCTF is a hyaluronic acid serum containing vitamins and minerals to give an extra boost to the treatment.
Prescription growth factor is a topical growth factor applied to increase healing time and boost results. Ideal for acne scarring and fine lines.
Skin Booster/Hydrafiller:
Anti-aging injectable treatment made of Hyaluronic Acid to improve skin hydration and skin quality. Provides intense hydration and a powerful moisturising effect that leaves the skin smooth, plump and glowing. Can help with fine lines, crepey skin, texture and hydration. Lasts 6-9 months. A great treatment to do in conjunction with Botox.
