Injectables have increased in popularity over the years as they effectively treat a range of concerns. There are two types of injectable treatments – those that freeze the muscles to reduce wrinkles (e.g. BOTOX) and those that use fillers under the skin to plump it up (e.g. Juvederm).
Both types effectively produce a naturally enhanced look without the need for invasive surgery. Book a consultation to discuss your skin, areas of concern and which treatments would be most effective.
BOTOX
BOTOX consists of a purified protein (neurotoxin) injected into the muscles that cause wrinkles. It interrupts the signal that is passed between the brain and the muscle resulting in a softening of the expression by relaxing the muscles allowing the skin to smooth out. BOTOX has proven effective at reducing the early signs of ageing.
