What is Botox

Botox injections are commonly used to achieve smoother even skin with volume. Botox treatment relaxes the facial muscles, effectively diminishing wrinkles and skin imperfections, fine lines and natural age-related creases. Botox contains minimal amounts of a highly purified botulinum toxin protein refined from the bacterium, Clostrdium

What are Dermal Fillers

Dermal filler injections are a safe and efficient alternative for both men and women to plastic surgery to enhance, volumize, restore, fill in, re-contour your face.

Dermal fillers can be used for sculpting and reshaping every feature of your face – forehead, nose, lips, chin, jawline, cheekbones, ears and your hands and feet.

Combined Botox and Dermal Fillers

Using both Botox and Fillers can create a ‘liquid facelift’ by smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, reshaping and contouring.

How does it work

Botox blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can no longer contract, causing wrinkles to relax and soften.

Although Botox can reduce wrinkles and fine lines, it can also be used to create a lifting effect as the skin is naturally pulled down.

Botox can also be used as an effective preventative measure to minimise the formation of wrinkles and as a safe treatment for a number of medical conditions including treating migraines or excessive sweating (underarms, hands, head and feet).

Possible results

The outcome of your first few procedures will show subtle enhancements to the skin’s appearance. It is always better to take small steps when utilising botox or filler procedures until you reach your desired results. Post-procedure effects maybe temporary bruising or slight sagging of the eyelid or eyebrow. However, these minor risks can be avoided when you use an experienced professional.

Price

Don’t ever go for the cheap or cheapest. Prices are variable and price can be indictive of professional experience. Prioritising a high-quality procedure, guarantees minimal risks and excellent outcomes.

Botox Procedure

The process of an injectable takes between 15 and 30 minutes depending on the procedure. A Botox injection entails administering a small quantity of botulinum toxin into selected muscles underneath the skin. This results in the targeted muscles becoming relaxed, as a result reducing the visibility of wrinkles and fine line and skin imperfections.

Patients may experience mild discomfort, like a gentle pinch, during the process but and experienced professional will make this as painless as possible.

Aftercare

Avoid direct sun exposure and alcohol consumption for a certain period. This is to ensure that the injected protein does not spread to other areas and only affects the intended muscles.

Patients are advised to avoid lying down or leaning forward for four hours after treatment, as this could cause the Botox to spread to other areas of the face, causing unwanted effects. Also, we recommended to avoid massaging or rubbing the treated area for 24 hours.

Any mild discomforts, swelling or bruising at the injection sites should resolve on its own within a few days.

Recovery Time

There is no defined recovery time, and most individuals can continue with their regular routines without interruption post-treatment. Following the procedure spend a little time relaxing to allow any redness, swelling or bruising dissipate. These usual side effects typically clear after a few hours A follow up appointment is beneficial to examine the outcome and carry out any required enhancements.

Success Rate

When administered by an experienced professional, patients witness clear enhancements to the skin, achieving the desired results. However, akin to every medical procedure, the precise success rate can fluctuate depending on individual responses and the expertise of the practitioner and the distinct purpose of the treatment. It is recommended to set realistic expectations and understand that while Botox injections yield substantially positive results, it does not indefinitely eliminate all ageing symptoms.

Long term Effects

Results tend to last 3 to 6 months. With that said, with regular and steady treatments, some patients may observe long-term enhancements in their lines and wrinkles as the targeted muscles adapt to relaxation. Persistent treatments of Botox injections can educate facial muscles to contract less, thereby diminishing wrinkle visibility over time.
