BOTOX ®
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A FEW DROPS OF BOTOX ARE INJECTED INTO THE MUSCLE THAT CREATES A WRINKLE. WHEN BOTOX IS INJECTED INTO A MUSCLE, IT BLOCKS THE NERVE IMPULSE FROM REACHING THAT AREA, AND AS A RESULT THE MUSCLE WEAKENS. AS THE MUSCLE WEAKENS THE SKIN OVERLYING THE MUSCLE RELAXES AND THE WRINKLES IN THE SKIN SOFTEN AND OFTEN DISAPPEAR. THIS TAKES UP TO 14 DAYS TO TAKE FULL EFFECT !!
DOES IT HURT ?
WHEN BOTOX IS INJECTED THERE IS A MINOR STING FOR A FEW SECONDS. ONCE THE INJECTION IS COMPLETE, THERE IS USUALLY NO DISCOMFORT.
WHERE CAN BOTOX BE INJECTED ?
THE MOST COMMON AREAS ARE
1. THE FROWN LINES BETWEEN THE EYEBROWS
2. THE HORIZONTAL FOREHEAD LINES
3. THE CROWS FEET OR SMILE LINES AT THE OUTER CORNER OF THE EYES.
4. MELANIE IS HIGHLY EXPERINCED PRACTITIONER AND ALSO USES BOTOX IN OTHER AREAS OF THE FACE AND NECK, AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SURGERY TO IMPROVE APPEARANCE. MORE DETAIL ON THESE PROCEDURES AND PRICES CAN BE GIVEN ON CONSULTATION
HOW LONG DOES A BOTOX TREATMENT LAST ?
BOTOX USUALLY LASTS THREE TO FIVE MONTHS. AFTER SEVERAL TREATMENTS THE EFFECTS MAY BEGIN TO LAST LONGER, SOME TIMES UP TO SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS.
HOW SAFE IS BOTOX ?
BOTOX HAS BEEN USED SAFELY AND SUCCESSFULLY FOR MANY YEARS TO TREAT MUSCULAR TWITCHES AND FACIAL PARALYSIS. WRINKLE TREATMENT USES ONLY A TINY AMOUNT OF BOTOX WITH NO MAJOR SIDE EFFECTS. MINOR POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS COULD BE SLIGHT BRUISING OR THE RISK OF INFECTION AT THE POINT OF INJECTION ALTHOUGH THIS IS VERY RARE, AS STRICT STERILE PROCEDURES ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING TREATMENT.

DERMAL FILLERS
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
THE PRODUCT IS INJECTED INTO THE AREA OF THE SKIN A FEW MILLIMETERS UNDER THE SITE OF THE WRINKLE. THIS PRODUCES A LIFTING EFFECT SMOOTHING OUT THE WRINKLE AT THE SURFACE OF THE SKIN. THE EFFECT IS IMMEDIATE.
DOES IT HURT ?
THERE IS SOME DISCOMFORT BUT THE AREA IS NUMBED PRIOR TO TREATMENT TO MINIMISE THIS.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST ?
BETWEEN SIX AND NINE MONTHS, DEPENDING ON THE INDIVIDUAL, AS THE THE BODY NATURALY BREAKS DOWN AND ABSORBS THE PRODUCT.

ARE DERMAL FILLERS SAFE ?
BIODEGRADABLE NON- ANIMAL HYALURONIC ACID HAS BEEN USED FOR MANY YEARS AND HAS AN EXCELLENT SAFETY PROFILE.
THERE IS A SMALL RISK, AS WITH ANY INJECTABLE PROCEDURE, OF SLIGHT BRUISING OR SWELLING. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF INFECTION AT THE SITE OF THE INJECTION, ALTHOUGH THIS IS VERY RARE AS THE STRICTEST STERILE PROCEDURES ARE USED DURING TREATMENT.
MOLE AND SKIN TAG REMOVAL
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A TINY NEEDLE IS INSERTED INTO THE BASE OF THE MOLE/SKIN TAG. THE NEEDLE GENERATES A CURRENT AND CUTS OFF THE BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE MOLE/SKIN TAG. THIS CAUSES THE MOLE TO DROP OF IMMEDIATELY IN SOME CASES OR SCAB OVER AND DROP OFF OVER A PERIOD OF 10 DAYS OR SO DEPENDING ON THE PERSONS HEALING ABILITY.
DOES IT HURT ?
THERE IS A SLIGHT STINGING SENSATION DURING THE PROCEDURE. LARGER MOLES WHICH REQUIRE MULTIPLE NEEDLE INSERTIONS CAN BE NUMBED PRIOR TO TREATMENT.

THE PROCEDURE IS QUICK, SAFE, INEXPENSIVE AND GIVES A GOOD COSMETIC RESULT.
THERE IS A SMALL RISK OF INFECTION AT THE SITE TREATED BUT THIS IS VERY RARE AS THE STRICTEST STERILE PROCEDURES ARE CARRIED OUT DURING TREATMENT.

SCULPTURA
Sculptra™ is a non-invasive injectable treatment. It smooths out lines and wrinkles, restoring facial volume and contours just where it’s needed, giving you gradual, natural looking results which can last up to two years.
As part of the ageing process, our skin becomes thinner, losing its natural elasticity and suppleness. Fat layers in the skin’s epidermis, which help to fill out the face, eventually break down, causing skin to sag and wrinkle. Sculptra’s™ main ingredient Poly-L-Lactic acid works from deep within the skin’s layers, stimulating the body’s own production of collagen to sculpt a smoother more youthful appearance.
Sculptra ™ facial enhancement therapy, offers a safe, discreet approach to achieving a rejuvenated appearance. Once collagen production has been stimulated, Sculptra’s™ natural-looking results should become noticeable after approximately six weeks and can last for as long as two years. This subtle enhancement allows you to maintain your beauty secrets as there is no dramatic, instant change but rather a gradual enhancement as your appearance is plumped up slowly from within, continuing to make your skin look fresher and younger.
Sculptra ™ is suitable for anyone who would like to restore their youthful appearance and works particularly well on the deep folds between the nose and mouth, lines and wrinkling in the cheeks or around the chin. The main ingredient Poly-L-Lactic acid has been used in medical devices for over twenty years and is suitable for all skin types. It has been shown to be safe and effective without the possible reactions associated with some animal derived products.
Depending on the area to be treated, Sculptra™ has an average 30 minute treatment time with two to four treatments usually required. After two years, a top up can be administered for maintenance. There is minimal discomfort with the procedure and Sculptra™ carries no risk of muscle paralysis which in some cases can lead to an unnatural looking facial expression or even drooping features.
Sculptra™ is used and recommended by medical professionals and has helped over 150,000 people to recapture a youthful appearance across the world.
