Types of Injectables:

Muscle Relaxants:  

Botulinum A muscle relaxants reduce or stop muscle contraction.

In aesthetic medicine the main role of muscle relaxants is to reduce the lines that appear with expression- for example the frown lines that deepen when annoyed, the crow’s feet seen around the eyes with smiling and the forehead lines that deepen through the day with raising the eyebrows.

Dermal Fillers:

As we age our underlying bone structure changes and skin volume decreases, causing the cheek and jowl areas to start to droop so that permanent lines and wrinkles gradually develop.

Deeper robust fillers can lift and round the cheeks, straighten the jawline, fill the marionette lines and support deeper lax ligaments giving a more youthful appearance.  

Softer fillers can help lift the corners of the mouth, fill hallows under the eyes, increase the fullness of lips and reduce unwanted superficial lines or wrinkles.

Depending on the filler used, the site and the depth of the injection, the results can last between 6 and 18 months.

Though the effect can be seen immediately there may be associated redness, swelling or bruising that could last for several days.

As everyone’s skin is different, the best thing to do is book in for a skin consultation with trained medical staff.
