Non Surgical Facial Rejuvenation

Non surgical facial rejuvenation uses injectable dermal fillers and anti wrinkle relaxing injections to restore a fresher and younger looking appearance to the face without the need of surgery.

Lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and a dull complexion can be a direct result of the ageing process, as well as sun exposure, smoking and alcohol consumption. As skin begins to lose collagen and elastin, the volume, firmness and hydration diminishes, causing lines, creases and drooping to develop.

DERMAL FILLERS

With good knowledge of facial anatomy, dermal fillers can be injected into multiple layers of the skin and deep tissue to achieve an amazing rejuvenating effect.

Before the filler is administered to the area, a numbing cream may be applied. The filler itself is a smooth gel that contains hyaluronic acid, and when injected into the area of concern, it binds water to produce a lift and give firmness to the treated areas. Wrinkles and creases begin to smooth out and the face becomes more defined.

Fillers can help smooth out the natural appearance of facial lines, including the eye lines (crow’s feet), tear-troughs (under-eye furrows), frown lines, the nasolabial folds (cheek creases), marionette lines (coming down from the mouth), lip (smoker) lines, augment the lips, cheeks and jawline.

The face is the main focal point of a person’s appearance, and those who are affected by ageing facial features can often feel self-conscious about their looks. Fillers can achieve a naturally brighter, tighter, firmer-looking appearance, boosting self-esteem.

ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS

Anti wrinkle injections have been used safely to treat facial wrinkles for several decades. They can be successfully used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet) and between the eyebrows (frown lines), or on the nose (bunny lines). They are also commonly injected around the mouth (smokers lines), neck and jawline.

When injected into certain facial muscles, the active ingredient blocks the muscular nerve signals, which then weakens the muscle so that it cannot contract, and by doing that reduces unwanted wrinkles and lines. The muscle weakness begins at 24 – 48 hours, with full effect at 7 – 14 days after injection. The effects of the initial injection lasts between 4 and 6 months for most people.
