Facial Aesthetics

Everything you need to know about the range of non-surgical treatments we offer to temporarily soften expression lines and define certain facial features and contours. Facial Aesthetics are more commonly known as Botox, Fillers, Anti-Wrinkle Injections etc.

• How does Botox work?

  Botox is a neuromodulator (form of botulinum toxin type A) that is injected into targeted treatment areas using an ultra-fine needle. It works by blocking the nerve signals needed for facial muscles to contract.

  It’s the repetitious contraction of facial muscles that causes expression lines and wrinkles. Once injected, the neuromodulator relaxes the muscles and decreases their movement to reduce the appearance of lines or wrinkles in the area. You will see your results gradually over 3-7 days following injection.

• What Areas of the Face Can Be Treated With Botox?

  Botox can be used to address lines and wrinkles on a number of different facial areas, including the forehead, eye area (crow’s feet), and lip lines. It may be injected to soften dimpling of the chin.

• Is Botox Painful?

  The procedure is not considered painful. Most patients report a brief period of discomfort during the injection, which does not persist once the procedure is complete.

• How Long Will My Botox Treatment Last?

  The results of Botox typically last between 3-5 months from the date of injection. Over time the body metabolises the Botox, leading to the slow return of muscle movement in the treatment area.

  Patients can choose to maintain their Botox results for longer periods by undergoing periodic maintenance treatments every 3-4 months.
