Smooth out nose to mouth grooves with fillers
Dermal fillers such as Restylane, Juverderm ULTRA, Hydrafill and Teosyal are popular treatments for wrinkles and facial lines. The procedure helps to 'fill out' and smooth away more ingrained or troublesome nose-to-mouth grooves, forehead lines, frown furrows, lipstick lines, acne scars and crows feet.
Increase volume to facial areas using SculptraTM
Sculptra is a new product specially developed to help the body to revolumise the lines, wrinkles and depressions which develop naturally over the years. It is best used in the cheeks to create a fuller face and to produce higher cheekbones, and as a means of lifting jowls and nose-to-mouth lines.
Sculptra is a polyl-L-lactic acid, helps stimulate the body's own production of collagen within the line or wrinkle, making the skin appear smoother and firmer.
Reduce and remove thread veins with Sclerotherapy
Thread veins can be unsightly and difficult to conceal. Sclerotherapy is a technique which has been used widely for many years; a small amount of vein irritant solution is injected into the vein. The number of treatments varies depending on the individual and the severity of the veins, usually 4-5 treatments are all that are needed to give 60-70% clearance.
Cryotherapy for skin tags and ‘age spots’
Skin tags and small pigmented spots are the most common lesions treated with Cryotherapy. Larger moles may be treated, but must be examined by a GP or Dermatologist prior to treatment.
Juvéderm(R) ULTRA range:
This product has been introduced to help those of us who are more sensitive and is the next-generation of dermal filler treatment for facial wrinkles and lines. Containing an anaesthetic, Juvederm Ultra promises to give a "gentle injection experience".
Enhance - Semi Permanent Make-Up
Refine your features with the ultimate convenience of professionally applied make-up that won't smudge or run and lasts for years.
Semi-permanent make-up is a technique which allows pigment to be implanted into the dermal layer of the skin using incredibly fine and accurate probes. The equipment and pigments have been specifically developed for this use and in the hands of an excellent technician will allow you to subtly accentuate and refine the definition of individual features as you would with conventional eyebrow pencil, eyeliner and lipiner.
Is it safe?
Yes, the strictest hygiene and sterilisation standards are followed, so you can be assured that your equipment has been opened just for you.
Does it hurt?
You will be kept comfortable throughout any procedure. At worst, people describe the sensation comparable with plucking or waxing but generally it is no problem at all.
Who decides the shape and colour?
Your technician is a highly experienced make-up artist, so guided by your instructions the shape will be drawn on and colours will be custom-blended for your approval before any procedure commences.
How long does it last?
Generally clients will return every two years for their next application. This is usually adequate to keep the treated area looking as it should and a very realistic guide for most people.
