Your forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet are called dynamic wrinkles. These wrinkles developed because of muscle movements. Botulinum  toxin relaxes the muscles that are responsible for these movements and therefore softens the wrinkles.

Botox treatment is used to reduce the appearance of crow's feet around the eyes, and frown lines and wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows.

Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last for up to 4 months, depending on patients. You will notice a gradual fading of its effects. At this point you will return to your doctor for your next treatment. It is usually necessary to have a treatment every 3 - 4 months to maintain and improve upon the original results. Acceptable safety in long-term treatment has been well established. 

The most common side effects following injection are redness, swelling and some minor bruising. Other complications such as temporary eyelid droop and double vision are very rare when performed by someone experienced.

The dermal fillers we use are extremely safe with very low incidence of allergic reaction. You can expect some degree of redness and swelling after the treatment, which usually clears up within a few days.

Depending on the area treated, treatment time can vary from around 30 minutes to an hour. A numbing cream is offered to make the treatment more comfortable, and it may require up to 30 minutes for it to take effect.
Sometimes, a dental or lip block may be used, where a small amount of anaesthetic is injected into the lip area to help to numb them prior to treatment.

Depending on the area injected, patients may find the procedure relatively painless to mildly uncomfortable. Treatments around the nose or lip areas are usually more painful.

Recovery time can be from a few hours to a few days. However, most people find that they can return straight back to work after treatment with dermal fillers.

Studies show that the results of one session can last up to 6 months. Our specialist will work with you to develop a touch-up schedule to maintain your desired results.

Sculptra is a collagen stimulator. It reduces facial lines and wrinkles and helps to restore the fullness of your face by stimulating your own collagen production to replenish your skin and provide natural looking results.

The effect of Sculptra treatment is gradual and exceptionally natural looking. Two or three treatments are usually required, and the benefits become noticeable after about six weeks. Clinical studies have shown that the results of Sculptra can last up to 3 years.

The most common side effects are redness, bruising and swelling at the injection site. These side effects generally disappear in a few days. One possible delayed side effect with Sculptra can be small bumps under the skin in the treated area within 6 to 12 months of the first treatment. These may not be visible, and you may only notice them when you press in the treated skin. The bumps sometimes disappear of their own accord. Visible bumps, sometimes associated with redness or colour change to the treated area, have also been reported. As with all procedures that involve an injection through the skin, there is risk of infection.

Depending on the area treated, treatment times can vary from around 30 minutes to an hour. A numbing cream is offered to make the treatment more comfortable, and it may require up to 30 minutes for it to take effect. Sometimes, a dental or lip block may be used, where a small amount of anaesthetic is injected into the lip area to help to numb them prior to treatment.

Not usually a problem as numbing cream and local anaesthetic injection is given prior to the injection. However, as with all injections, some discomfort is inevitable, and you may feel a brief burning sensation at the injection site. An ice pack applied after the treatment can help to relieve this.

Sculptra takes time to work, with the results becoming noticeable after about six weeks. It may appear to have an effect immediately after your first treatment visit, but this is because of swelling from the injections and the water used to dilute Sculptra. When the swelling goes down after a few days and the water is absorbed by your body, you may look as you did before treatment.
Three or four treatment sessions are usually necessary to obtain the desired result. However, unlike dermal fillers, the result of Sculptra can last up to three years.
