Fillers
Injectable fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are a non-surgical solution designed to address a variety of aesthetic concerns. Whether you desire plumper lips, smoother skin, or more defined facial contours, our clinic offers a range of premium fillers to help you achieve your desired look.
Bioregenerative Injectable Fillers
Sculptra is a unique dermal filler designed to stimulate collagen production, resulting in natural, long-lasting rejuvenation. Unlike traditional fillers, which primarily add volume to specific areas, Sculptra works by gradually stimulating your skin’s own collagen production, addressing underlying causes of aging for more comprehensive results.
Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin—two key components responsible for maintaining firm, youthful skin.
Kybella
Let’s introduce you to the remarkable benefits of Kybella as well as the compounded version PCDC—a revolutionary treatment for reducing submental fullness, commonly known as a “double chin.” Get ready to discover a non-surgical solution that can help you achieve a more defined and contoured jawline.
Weight loss
Semaglutide is a medication that has shown promising results in promoting weight loss in clinical trials. Originally developed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes, semaglutide belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Chemical peels
Exfoliation: Chemical peels provide a controlled exfoliation of the skin by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This process reveals fresher, healthier skin underneath, resulting in a brighter and more radiant complexion.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. It involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to shrink, collapse, and eventually fade away. Here are some of the benefits associated with sclerotherapy:
FAQ's
Myths about botox
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a popular cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. However, it has also been associated with various myths and misconceptions. Let’s address some common myths about Botox:
Myth 1: Botox is only used for cosmetic purposes. Fact: While Botox is well-known for its cosmetic applications, it is also used for medical purposes. Botox injections can treat various medical conditions, including chronic migraines, muscle spasms, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and overactive bladder.
Myth 2: Botox is only for older people. Fact: Botox is commonly associated with anti-aging treatments, but it is not limited to older individuals. People in their 20s and 30s may opt for Botox as a preventative measure to minimize the formation of wrinkles. It is recommended to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine if Botox is appropriate for your specific needs.
Myth 3: Botox completely freezes facial expressions. Fact: Botox is meant to reduce muscle activity temporarily, not to completely freeze the face. When administered correctly and in appropriate doses, Botox should result in natural-looking results while maintaining facial expressions. Skilled practitioners aim to achieve a balanced and subtle effect that doesn’t appear overly frozen.
Myth 4: Botox is toxic and dangerous. Fact: Botox has been used safely for cosmetic and medical purposes for many years when administered by trained professionals. The dosage used for cosmetic treatments is minimal and considered safe. However, it is important to choose a qualified and experienced medical professional for the administration of Botox injections to ensure proper safety and effectiveness.
Myth 5: Botox is permanent. Fact: Botox is not a permanent treatment. Its effects are temporary, typically lasting between three to six months. After this period, the muscle activity gradually returns to normal, and the wrinkles may reappear. To maintain the desired results, follow-up treatments are necessary.
Myth 6: Botox is addictive. Fact: Botox itself is not physically addictive. However, people who are satisfied with the results of Botox treatments may choose to continue receiving them regularly to maintain their desired appearance. The decision to continue with treatments is a personal choice, and it’s important to consult with a medical professional about the frequency and suitability of Botox injections.
Remember, it is crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, to address any concerns or questions you may have regarding Botox treatment.
Myths about filler
Filler injections are another popular cosmetic procedure used to restore volume and enhance facial features. Like Botox, there are several myths surrounding filler injections. Let’s explore some common myths about fillers:
Myth 1: Fillers are only used for lip augmentation. Fact: While lip augmentation is a well-known application of fillers, they can be used to address a range of concerns. Fillers can be used to restore volume to cheeks, temples, under-eye hollows, chin, jawline, and even to improve the appearance of scars. They can also be used to soften wrinkles and fine lines.
Myth 2: Fillers are permanent. Fact: Most fillers used today are not permanent. The majority of fillers are made from substances like hyaluronic acid, which are eventually absorbed by the body over time. The longevity of fillers can vary, typically lasting between six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.
Myth 3: Fillers are irreversible. Fact: Unlike some cosmetic procedures, fillers are not permanent, and their effects are not irreversible. If a person is dissatisfied with the results or experiences any complications, there are options to correct or adjust the filler. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which allows for the reversal or modification of the treatment. Other types of fillers can be broken up with other techniques of outcome. This highlights the need to always see a skilled and qualified injector.
Myth 4: Fillers stretch the skin. Fact: Fillers do not stretch the skin. When properly injected, fillers replenish lost volume and provide support to the underlying tissues, resulting in a more youthful appearance. They work by adding volume to specific areas and can help improve the contours and symmetry of the face.
Myth 5: Anyone can administer fillers. Fact: Fillers should only be administered by qualified healthcare professionals, such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or trained medical aesthetic practitioners. These professionals have the necessary knowledge and experience to assess your needs, determine the appropriate type and amount of filler, and perform the injections safely.
Myth 6: Fillers can completely erase wrinkles. Fact: While fillers can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, they cannot completely erase them. Fillers work by filling in areas of lost volume, softening lines, and improving overall facial harmony. However, deep or severe wrinkles may require additional treatments or a combination of treatments for optimal results.
It’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your specific concerns, discuss your goals, and provide appropriate guidance regarding filler injections. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your unique needs and help you achieve the desired outcome.
When should I get Botox/ Fillers before an event:
The timeline for cosmetic injectables before an event can vary depending on the specific injectable treatment and individual factors. However, here is a general guideline that can help you plan:
Botox: Botox injections are commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The effects of Botox typically become noticeable within a few days to a week after the treatment. However, it’s important to note that the full results may take up to two weeks to become apparent.
For optimal results before an event, it is recommended to schedule your Botox treatment at least four weeks in advance. This allows enough time for the product to settle and for any potential side effects (such as bruising or redness) to subside. This also allows for touch ups to settle if necessary. Touchups are usually done between day 14-21.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are used to restore volume, enhance facial features, and smooth out wrinkles. The effects of fillers are usually immediate, but there may be some minor swelling or bruising initially, which can take up to 2-3 weeks to fully settle.
To ensure a smoother recovery and optimal results, it is advisable to schedule your filler treatment at least two weeks before the event. This allows enough time for any swelling or bruising to diminish and for the filler to settle into its final position.
It’s important to note that individual healing and recovery times can vary, and it’s always best to consult with your healthcare professional for personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.
Additionally, if it’s your first time receiving cosmetic injectables, it may be beneficial to schedule a consultation and a trial run several months before the event. This will allow you to discuss your goals, assess how your body responds to the treatment, and make any necessary adjustments well in advance of the event.
Remember, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, who can provide personalized recommendations and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and desired timeline.
