WRINKLE RELAXING INJECTIONS

Botulinum toxin injections, such as Botox and Bocouture, relax the muscles in your face to smooth out lines and wrinkles, these injections are regulated prescription only medicines. Your aesthetic practitioner will use a tiny, fine needle to inject a small amount of the toxin into your face.

The toxin essentially blocks the signals between your nerves and your muscles. Because the signal is blocked, your muscles cannnot contract. They become relaxed. This helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines on your face in this area. Wrinkles and lines are caused by repetitive contraction of muscles in your face over time.

You are invited back to clinic 10-14 days post treatment for a free of charge dose adjustment.

Upper Face Wrinkles

Wrinkle relaxing injections or Botulinum Toxin Type A (Bta) injections are Particularly  effective at reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles in the upper face. You will notice an improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles around 7-14 days after your treatment. Some patients notice a difference within a couple of days.

Nefertiti Neck Lift

The Nefertiti neck lift is an effective, non-surgical treatment that can subtly but effectively rejuvenate your neck and refine your jawline. During this treatment, we administer botulinum toxin to targeted muscles in the neck. These Platysma muscles are incredibly strong and can create a downward pull, and also reduce the hyperactive Platysmal bands resulting in a more youthful appearance of the neck.

Results can last 3-6 months.
