Anti-Ageing Injections

Botulinum Toxin is a proven anti-wrinkle treatment that has been used in medical aesthetics for more than 20 years. It is a naturally derived protein which helps to relax muscles.

Is It Safe?

Botulinum Toxin has been tried and tested for many years in the cosmetic sector but has been around even longer in other medical areas and as such is thought to be a safe procedure. Very rarely people can have an allergic reaction and it has been reported that occasionally other muscles can be affected other than what was intended.

What is the Procedure?

At The Facial Aesthetics Clinic Dr Rebecca uses Azzalure which is a branded form of Botulinum. Azzalure is introduced using a very fine needle into the skin. The procedure can cause minor discomfort and very occasionally local bruising.

We regularly treat the lines around the eyes - the crows feet or smile lines. Other areas can be the forehead lines and frown lines.

How Long Does it Last?

The effects can last up to 3-4months but then gradually the lines and wrinkles will begin to reappear. At this point we would recommend a repeat treatment. Over time this can reduce the appearance overall of wrinkles.   

Dermal Fillers

Dermal Fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which is naturally occurring gel-like fluid, found within our own skin. Hyaluronic acid gives our skin elasticity and hydration, it gives us a natural looking youthful glow.

Is It Safe?

Hyaluronic acid is a natural product found within the skin and only very rarely have allergic reactions occurred. Dermal Fillers must be given by a trained medical professional to avoid causing harm to local areas.

What Is the Procedure?

At the Facial Aesthetics Clinic Dr Rebecca uses Restylane which is introduced underneath the skin using a very fine needle. Restytlane contains a numbing agent which helps to reduce any discomfort. The procedure may cause mild local bruising.

Common areas we treat are the nasolabial lines (mouth to nose lines) and the marionette lines (beside the corner of the mouth).

How Long Does it Last?

On average we find Dermal Fillers last around 12 months although we can top up sooner if need be.
