The effects of Botox are obvious
in a few days, and maximum effect is seen in one to two
weeks. Typically the treatment lasts 3-5 months.

DERMAL FILLERS
Skin fillers are more commonly
used in the lower third of the face, to correct deeper
skin creases and sometimes to provide lip enhancement.
They can also be used elsewhere to correct skin folds and
creases that are beyond prevention/treatment by Botox.
In the case of lip enhancement, there
is often a decrease in lip volume as the result of the ageing
process, and there is also a loss of the definition of the
margin between the red lip and the skin. As things
progress, many women will also gradually develop vertical lip
lines, especially with exposure to the sun and
smoking.
The filler we primarily use consists of
Hyaluronic acid. This is compound which occurs naturally
in the body, and is synthetically manufactured, avoiding the
risk of allergy reaction that can occur for example with
collagens.
The process in invasive, a local
anaesthetic is usually required, and there may be a minor
amount of local swelling or tenderness after the
procedure. The effects of dermal fillers can last for well over
1 year.
Here are some examples of our work
:
The case below shows the
reduction of naso-labial fold. This result is achieved
with a hyaluronic acid tiller, and a little local
anaesthetic. The second photograph is taken a week after
the procedure.
