When injected in smaller doses,spread into more locations, Botulinum Toxin gives a more natural appearance, retaining a natural looking appearance whilst reducing wrinkles.
Injecting a Hyaluronic acid filler is particularly useful to improve the appearance of facial line e.g. nasolabial folds (the lines from the nose to corners of the mouth). Fillers can improve the look of ageing faces,lips,hands and neck by giving a more 'plumped up', natural and younger look. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin which keeps water.
Thermage is a non-surgical procedure that is completely non-invasive with no downtime. It is a skin tightening procedure that is used for tightening and lifting the face, eyes, arms and stomach. The tip of the Thermage machine emits a radiofrequency energy which produces heat in the skin. This causes immediate tightening of the collagen both in the skin and in the underlying layers. Over time, usually 3-6 months, new collagen will form which will enhance and cause further tightening of the skin.
