Botox

Botox injections are a minimally invasive technique to reduce facial lines caused by muscle activity. So-called, hyperkinetic wrinkles, result from recurring contraction of the muscles of facial expression.

Thread

Commonly described as a 'lunch time lift' this technique is useful for achieving a temporary facelift effect. This is however, not a procedure to replace a facelift. In my experience 'lunch time lift' does no justice to the inevitable side effects!

Fillers

With ageing the tissue that keep our skin looking youthful and 'plumped up' begin to break down. Loss of dermal ground substance contributes to wrinkling of the skin.

Peels

Peels are used to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers and facilitating an ordered healing response with new collagen and elastin.

Collagen Induction

Needling procedures are unique in that unlike dermabrasion, peels or resurfacing laser treatments, the outer layers of skin are not removed and this facilitates rapid recovery and reduces the potential for complications.
