Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botox): Smooth away fine lines and wrinkles

Anti-wrinkle Consultation; Botulinum Toxin injections, such as Botox, are the most popular form of non-surgical treatments for treating fine lines and wrinkles.

A very small amount of botulinum toxin is injected into the muscle causing the wrinkle. It is given using the smallest needle available to give the most comfortable experience. The toxin causes the muscle to relax. The overlying skin also relaxes and appears smoother as a result, whilst the untreated muscles move as usual. This allows for a natural appearance and you will still retain facial expression.

Botulinum Toxin will start to work immediately however the full effect will take 14 days. The results will last for approximately 3-4 months, although this varies between individuals and a time period is not guaranteed. Gradually, normal muscle movement resolves, and the wrinkles or lines will start to return after this time.

We offer treatment for;

  • Lateral Canthal lines, also known as Crow’s Feet or Laugh Lines. (1 area)
  • Glabellar Lines, also know as Frown Lines. (1 area)
  • Forehead Lines. ( 1 area).

Advanced Botox procedures we offer include;

  • Bunny lines
  • Brow lift
  • Gummy smile
  • Lip flip
  • Smokers lines
  • Down turned mouth
  • Chin dimpling
  • Jaw muscle (masseter)
  • Platysmal bands
  • Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating)

The treatment takes around 45-60 minutes. You will receive a full GP led consultation.

You may have mild redness and swelling at the injection sites for up to an hour after the treatment.

Lip Enhancement: Plumping the lips

Fillers are used in the face and lips to replace volume lost with age, to contour, or to boost lip volume. The filler is made of hyaluronic acid, the naturally occurring hydrating substance found in skin. As we age we produce less HA and as a result our lips get thinner and our cheeks lose definition.

An anaesthetic cream will be used for the procedure which will make it as comfortable as possible. 

We Offer;

  • Lip Filler
  • Marionette Lines
  • Nasolabial Folds
  • Cheek Filler
  • Chin Filler
  • Smoker

Skin Boosters: Hydrate and revitalise for a youthful glow

Skin boosters have become a popular solution for those aiming to revitalise their skin from within. At the heart of this treatment is hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in your skin. Its primary role is to retain water, ensuring your skin remains hydrated and plump. Ageing causes the natural levels of hyaluronic acid in our skin to decrease, leading to dryness and the appearance of fine lines. Skin boosters replenish these levels, offering deep hydration and rejuvenation.

The result; a noticeable improvement in skin texture, reduced appearance of fine lines, and a nourished glow that radiates health. Skin boosters not only hydrate but also improve the overall quality of your skin, ensuring you look and feel your best.

The Skin Boosters that we use are Profhilo, Seventy Hyal, and Redensity 1.

Profhilo® is a revolutionary ‘beneath the skin’ hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, made with the patented NAHYCO® technology. This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel, which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. Profhilo® stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin.

The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage, hands, arms, knees and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages.

Seventy Hyal is a bio-stimulating skin booster that aims to improve the levels of hydration within the skin, whilst also encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin. It provides intensive skin-deep hydration and the bio-stimulation of new collagen production results in glowing, fresh-looking skin. Seventy Hyal is a versatile skin booster that can be injected across the facial area, lips, neck, décolleté and hands.

Teosyal® Redensity 1 is a treatment that is perfect for revitalising and moisturising the skin, targeting skin concerns such as sun damage, smoking, external pollutants and, of course, the signs of ageing. Redensity 1 is a fabulous alternative to tear trough filler. Although it does not fill the hollows beneath the eyes, it does improve skin quality and thus reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines.

You will receive a full GP led consultation.

The treatment takes around 45-60 minutes.

SkinPen Precision Microneedling: Stimulate collagen for smoother, more radiant, younger-looking skin

Intended to treat facial acne scars, but also to help improve the cosmetic appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, surgical scars, enlarged pores and pigmentation conditions (dyschromia).

For smoother, more radiant, younger-looking skin.

The treatment takes around 90 minutes. You will receive a full GP led consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Botulinum Toxin “Botox” Treatments

What is botulinum toxin "Botox" and how does it work?

Botulinum toxin, commonly referred to as Botox, is a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes facial muscles. It works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

What are the differences between Botox and Azzalure?

Botox and Azzalure are both botulinum toxin type A treatments used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. The primary difference lies in their formulation and potential onset time. Azzalure may have a slightly faster onset, and some individuals find it provides a more natural result. Our skilled practitioners can discuss which option is best for your specific needs during a consultation.

How long do botulinum toxin treatments last?

The effects of botulinum toxin treatments typically last 3 to 4 months. Results may vary depending on individual factors.

Are botulinum toxin treatments safe?

Yes, when administered by trained and qualified professionals, botulinum toxin treatments are generally safe. We ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

Dermal and Lip Fillers

What are dermal fillers and what do they treat?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from Hyaluronic Acid, which is a natural substance found in the fluids in the eyes and joints. It acts as a cushion and lubricant in the joints and other tissues. Dermal fillers are used in the face and lips to replace volume lost with age, to contour, or to boost lip volume. 

What types of dermal fillers do you offer?

We use Teoxane’s RHA® range of dermal fillers, which are multi-award winning for their unique properties. RHA® stands for Resilient Hyaluronic Acid precisely because this range of dermal filler has been designed to adapt to the dynamic demands of your face. 

Like other HA dermal fillers, RHA® is made from hyaluronic acid—but RHA® is different, because it’s made differently. RHA® uses a gentle manufacturing process. This process helps preserve the natural structure of the HA, helping it mimic the natural HA found in your skin. RHA® is the latest advancement in HA filler technology, purposely designed to perform in the most dynamic areas of the face without looking stiff or unnatural.

How long do dermal filler results last?

The longevity of dermal filler results varies depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. Generally, results can last from 6 months to 2 years.

Is the use of dermal fillers painful?

As experienced medical doctors, we use numbing creams and techniques to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients find the process quite tolerable.
