Lip Fillers
Sometimes patients have a desire for fuller upper lips. For relatively
small “ adjustments”, injections are often used. These are
temporary, however; there are more permanent fillers available.
Non Surgical (Ancillary) Procedures
As part of the ageing process, the detrimental effects of sun exposure,
natural gravity and facial muscle movement become more evident. The tissue
that keeps skin looking youthful and firm begins to deteriorate. This
results in “crows feet”, smile lines and facial creases. Lips
also shrink. The usual process to try and alleviate these lines and creases
is to inject certain substances or reduce muscle action.
Elos - Skin Tightening
The ST Treatment is the latest advancement in non-invasive skin
tightening treatments. Using the well known ELOS technology, the
procedure incorporates a highly focused energy delivery system to
improve skin laxity, whilst rejuvenating and firming the skin. The
overall improvement in skin texture seen from an ST Treatment will
foster a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Intense Pulse Light (Photorejuvenation)
Photo-rejuvenation can be used on the face, hands and body. This is a
non-invasive, new development that improves the skin's appearance and
removes age spots, most benign brown colouring from sun damage, and the
flushed look that results from broken capillaries. Furthermore it can
remodel deep collagen to restore tissue elasticity. Superb results have
been noted and patient satisfaction has been exceptional. There is
little or no down time.
Wrinkle Treatments
Utilising a muscle relaxant that works at the nerve muscle junction,
a tiny amount is injected into the muscle via a fine needle, blocking
the nerve impulse from reaching the specific area. As the muscles ease
up, wrinkles in the skin slowly diminish and often vanish, making the
face look more relaxed and revitalized. Areas typically treated are the
furrowed lines between eyebrows. This is a quick and easy treatment that
can be carried out during a lunch break.
Temporary Fillers
These may be injected into fine lines and wrinkles to make the skin appear
smoother and younger. These injectables can also be used in lips and cheeks.
An allergy skin test, depending on the choice of filler used, is required
six weeks prior to your treatment.
There are several types of injectable fillers available, one of which the manufacturers claim to be permanent. It is used for lip enlargement, deep wrinkles and facial contours e.g. cheekbone enhancement.
Viscoelastic Gels
Injectable gels allow speedy and instant corrections without the need
for a skin test for allergy. They are made of hyaluronic acid and are
injected under the surface of the skin at intervals, along the line of
the wrinkle. The gels can be used on frown lines, acne scars and smile
lines to make them appear smooth. They can also be used to produce a fuller
look in lips. They dissipate naturally over time and are perfect for anyone
who wants and instant improvement.
