Anti-wrinkle/Muscle relaxing Injections

  • Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly known as Botox or neuromodulators, are injectable treatments that temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. These injections work by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, leading to a smoother, more relaxed appearance of the skin. They are commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines. The effects typically last between 3 to 6 months, with follow-up treatments needed to maintain results.

  • Masseter injections use neuromodulators like Botox to relax the masseter muscles at the back of the jaw. This treatment helps slim a broad jawline and alleviate symptoms of teeth grinding and TMJ.

    Results typically start to show within 4 to 6 weeks and last about 4 to 6 months. The procedure involves minimal downtime, with potential side effects including temporary bruising or swelling.

  • The majority of my clients experience minimal to no pain during the injection process, often comparing it to a slight pinch. For those who are worried about potential discomfort, we provide a topical numbing option to enhance your comfort.

  • Results from Botox typically start to become noticeable within 3 to 5 days after treatment, with the full effect visible around 10 to 14 days.

    • Follow any post-care instructions.

    • Keep your head elevated for the first few hours after treatment.

    • Refrain from taking a hot bath for 24 hours after your treatment.

    • Use ice packs to reduce swelling if recommended.

    • Stay hydrated to help flush out toxins.

    • Don't rub or massage the treated area.

    • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

    • Stay away from alcohol and blood-thinning medications for a few days.

    • Don't expose yourself to direct sunlight or heat immediately after treatment.

    • Avoid facial treatments or massages that could disrupt the injected area.

  • Everybody's results vary due to a combination of factors, including lifestyle and genetics. For most people, results begin to fade in around three to four months.

  • I will schedule a follow-up appointment for you after your treatment to assess whether any additional treatment is needed. Retreatment before 14 days can lead to facial asymmetry, as the full results will not be visible until then.

Dermal Fillers

  • Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are typically made from materials such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid. By filling in areas of volume loss or enhancing facial features, dermal fillers can help achieve a more youthful and balanced appearance. The results are generally immediate, with minimal downtime.

  • Discomfort levels with fillers can vary based on individual pain tolerance and the area being treated. To ensure maximum comfort, we use a medical-grade topical numbing agent during the procedure. Most patients experience only mild discomfort.

  • Bruising and swelling are possible with any filler treatment. We provide pre- and post-care instructions to help minimise these effects . Any bruising or swelling usually resolves within one to two weeks. Please follow up with me if you have any concerns and I'll be happy to assist.

  • With filler treatments, results are often visible immediately. However, because fillers are injected into larger areas compared to anti-wrinkle injections, some bruising or swelling may occur, especially around the lips.

    This swelling typically subsides within 1-2 weeks, at which point you’ll see the final results.

  • The longevity of fillers can vary based on several factors, including the specific product used, the treatment area, and your individual metabolism. On average, fillers last between 6 to 12 months.

    However, thicker, more premium fillers may extend their effects to around 18 to 24 months. During your treatment, we can provide a more precise estimate of how long your chosen filler is likely to last.

    • Follow any post-care instructions.

    • Keep your head elevated for the first few hours after treatment.

    • Refrain from taking a hot bath for 24 hours after your treatment.

    • Use ice packs to reduce swelling if recommended.

    • Stay hydrated to help flush out toxins.

    • Don't rub or massage the treated area.

    • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

    • Stay away from alcohol and blood-thinning medications for a few days.

    • Don't expose yourself to direct sunlight or heat immediately after treatment.

    • Avoid facial treatments or massages that could disrupt the injected area.

  • Most of the fillers I offer are Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers, which are reversible. In the unlikely event you want to dissolve some of your filler, this can be done.
