Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers
What are anti-wrinkle and dermal filler treatments?
Anti-Wrinkle Injections: Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, is a safe and effective treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A small amount of botulinum toxin is injected using a fine needle. It works by temporarily relaxing expressive facial muscles to give a smoother and more youthful look.
Botulinum toxin is most commonly used for forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines.
Dermal Fillers: These gels, commonly made of hyaluronic acid, are injected under the skin to add fullness to areas of the face. They are used to enhance certain facial features or restore areas that lose volume as we age, resulting in a more lifted and sculpted appearance.
Dermal fillers are most commonly used in cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds and the jawline

FAQs
Will I look unnatural?
The fear of looking too different or unnatural is one of the most common concerns about botulinum toxin and dermal filler treatments. We focus on soft, natural enhancements that are in harmony with your facial features and expressions, giving you a refreshed appearance without overly dramatic changes.
Are the effects immediate?
The results of dermal filler are visible immediately whereas botulinum toxin can take up to two weeks to reach full effect.
How long do the effects last?
Dermal fillers and botulinum toxin are non-permanent treatments, meaning that their effects wear off. Botulinum toxin typically lasts between 3-6 months and dermal fillers last between 6-18 months, although this can vary from person to person.
What are the common side effects?
Common side effects include slight swelling, tenderness or bruising at the injection site. These typically resolve quickly.
How much do treatments cost?
The cost varies based on the treatment area and the amount of product used. During your consultation, you will be provided with a personalised quote based on your needs. Please see the website for more details.
Can I combine treatments?
Absolutely! Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers are often used in harmony to achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance. This may not be suitable for everyone though so a discussion around your goals, as well as an assessment of your facial structure, will help to determine the best approach.
