• Wrinkle smoothing injections act to prevent the facial muscles from contracting, thus diminishing wrinkles and fine lines.
• They are injected with a fine needle and syringe into the muscular layer of the skin.
• They can allow some natural movement [not completely freezing all expression].
• They should be a nearly painless procedure.
• There is no downtime.
• Results are typically visible in three to four days but may take up to a week or two to fully developResults usually last three months or more.
• Side effects are unusual, including a mild post-injection headache. But if you are like most recipients, you'll experience a blissful break from headaches because wrinkle smoothing injections are used to treat migraines.

Dermal Fillers [Hyaluronic Acid]

Skin starts to sag and wrinkle naturally with age as underlying fat and collagen diminishes.  Hyaluronic acid plays a key role in your skin's structure by providing the volume and plumpness associated with young, supple skin. These hyaluronic acid building blocks fill the space between collagen fibres in the skin and by doing so hold in moisture and maintain the skin's volume. As you age, levels of natural hyaluronic acid in the skin decrease due to time, sun exposure and other environmental factors.

• Dermal fillers such as Restylane^® and Juvederm^®, are based on Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body which decreases with age.
• Dermal fillers are injections which provide gentle volumising and contouring to fill out lines and plump up wrinkles and weak chins.
• They can also reshape noses, lips and eyebrows.
• They are injected with a fine needle and syringe into the dermal layer of the skin, which plumps up the skin and reduces the visibility of wrinkles.
• Topical or local anaesthetic to minimizes any discomfort associated with the injection itself.
• Essentially, fillers act to enhance your natural looks by restoring the skin’s volume, which creates softness and revitalises your appearance.
• Results last between 6 and 9 months, depending on the area treated and the amount of filler used.
• Because your body naturally absorbs hyaluronic acid over time, touch-ups are needed to maintain the results.

Face-lifting agents

Facial lipoatrophy is the loss of fat underneath the skin which can make the face look thin and narrow making you look older.

Sculptra™

• Sculptra™ is a non-invasive cosmetic dermatological option designed to correct the facial signs of lipo-atrophy by replacing the volume lost with aging. 
• Sculptra™ is a synthetic injectible material known as ‘Poly-L-lactic acid’ that stimulates the production of the body’s own collagen to smooth out lines and wrinkles.
• It is injected into the dermal layer of the skin, which causes a temporary ‘plumping’ effect.
• The therapist will then massage the skin to give an even distribution of the product.
• Once set, the product crystallises encouraging natural collagen production to give a plumping and smoothing effect.
• Gradually it will restore lost facial volume particularly in the eye and cheek areas and give you a fuller, younger looking face and glowing skin.

Radiesse^®

• Radiesse^® is setting a new standard for cosmetic fillers. It uses advanced, calcium-based microsphere technology to deliver soft, natural-looking results you can see immediately.
• And unlike other fillers, it also stimulates your body to produce new collagen, so you’ll continue to look more youthful and attractive over time.
• In fact for many patients, the benefits of treatment with Radiesse^® dermal filler may last up a year or more.

Mesotherapy

As we age our skin can become dry and dull due to the loss of vitamins and minerals.

• Mesotherapy is the art of using skin prick delivery techniques to supply homeopathic medicine, vitamins and minerals into the dermal layer of the skin.
• This can provide facial rejuvenation to brighten and refresh the skin whilst reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
• When used around the jaw area it is particularly good at tightening the skin and improving facial sagging.
