What it is:  

Botox is a cosmetic injectable treatment that temporarily reduces or eliminates fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles.

How it works:

Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This results in the smoothing of the overlying skin and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.

Benefits:  

- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, forehead, and mouth

- Prevents the formation of new wrinkles

- Quick and minimally invasive procedure

- No downtime

- Results last several months

Ideal candidates:  

Adults experiencing dynamic wrinkles (caused by muscle movements) who are looking for a non-invasive treatment to smooth their skin.

Expected results:

Smoother, wrinkle-free skin. Results typically appear within a few days and last for 3-6 months.

Treatment duration:

10 to 30 minutes.

Recovery time:

Minimal. Some may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites.

FAQs: 

- Is Botox painful?  

  The injections are quick and involve minimal discomfort. A topical anaesthetic can be used if needed.

- How often should I get Botox?  

  Most patients return for treatment every 3-6 months to maintain results

What it is:

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours.

How it works:

Benefits:  

- Restores lost volume

- Smooths out deep lines and wrinkles

- Enhances facial contours

- Provides immediate results

- Non-surgical and minimally invasive

Ideal candidates:

Individuals experiencing volume loss, deep lines, or those wanting to enhance their facial features.

Expected results:  

Immediate improvement in facial volume and contour. Results can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used.

Treatment duration:

15 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas treated.

Recovery time:

Minimal. Mild swelling or bruising may occur, but most can resume normal activities immediately.

FAQs:

- How long do fillers last?  

  The longevity of fillers depends on the product used and the treatment area, typically ranging from 6 months to 2 years.

- Are there any side effects?

What it is:

Thread lifts are a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten the skin, providing a more youthful appearance without surgery.

How it works:  

Special threads made of biocompatible material are inserted under the skin, creating a lifting effect. Over time, the threads dissolve, and the body produces more collagen in the treated area, enhancing the lifting effect.

Benefits:  

- Lifts and tightens sagging skin

- Stimulates collagen production

- Immediate results with continued improvement

- Minimally invasive with no scars

- Short recovery time

Ideal candidates:  

Individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, particularly those not ready for a surgical facelift but wanting to improve facial contours.

Expected results:  

Immediate lifting effect, with full results developing over 3-6 months as collagen production increases.

Treatment duration:  

30 to 60 minutes.

Recovery time:  

Minimal. Mild swelling or bruising may occur for a few days.

FAQs:  

- How long do the results last?  

  Results typically last 1-2 years, depending on the type of threads used and the area treated.
