Injections for Wrinkle Reduction

Botulinium Toxin - BOTOX

 

Botulinium toxin is a highly purified protein that is naturally able to relax muscle. By injecting very small amounts, specific muscles can be targeted to reduce the frown lines between the eye brows, the horizontal lines on the forehead or the ‘crows feet’ beside the eyes.
 
Botulinium toxin can also be used to improve the shape of the eyebrows and to give a slight lift to the brow.
 
Botulinium toxin treatments are the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure throughout the world. It is a safe procedure and gives a high level of patient satisfaction.
 
Treatments generally take around 15 minutes and require no downtime.

A dermal filler is a gel – like substance that is injected into the skin to improve the overlying contour. Fillers can be used very superficially to treat fine lines and can also be used in the deeper layers to soften deep lines or to improve facial contours.
 
A number of dermal fillers are available - They are all semi permanent and require no skin testing. Results can last from 6 months – 2 years, depending on the product used. Treatments generally take around half an hour and require minimal or no downtime.
 
Areas treated include
  • Nasolabial lines (deep groves between the nose and corners of the mouth)
  • Lips – to give more volume and/or definition to the lips
  • Cheeks – dermal fillers can be used to recontour and lift the cheeks. This treatment also improves the lower face by lifting sagging skin.
  • Chin augmentation
  • Nose reshaping – for small dips or asymmetry
  • Top lip lines
  • Other lines or wrinkles on the face
  • Back of hands – filler can be injected under the skin to plump it out, achieving and more youthful appearance.
  • Neck - improve skin texture and hydrate
 
 
A lot can be done with non surgical techniques to improve the eye area. Using a combination of Botox, dermal fillers and skin treatments it is now possible to:
 
  • lift the brow
  • reduce crows feet
  • improve skin texture
  • reduce dark circles & "hollowing" under the eyes

If this is an area that concerns you, make an appointment for a complimentary consultation with Dr Kathy Gallagher to discuss the possibilities.

 Hand Rejuvenation

The hands are a telltale sign of ageing. Loss of volume, pigmentation and poor skin texture are responsible and all can be improved with treatment.

The treatment involves:
 

plumping of the hands to soften the appearance of veins & tendons using a dermal filler.

A course of 5 Elos elight IPL skin rejuvenation treatments to reduce pigmentation and improve texture.

 

Treatment of Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

 
Botulinium toxin can be used to treat excessive underarm sweating. The procedure is simple to perform and involves very minimal discomfort and lasts on average 7- 8 months.

 
 
 
 
 
Excessive jaw clenching and tooth grinding can result in worn teeth and dental problems, headaches and temporary mandibular joint disfunction (TMJ).
Botulinium toxin can be injected into the muscle responsible, reducing it’s excessive action.
 
 
The use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is not new; it has long been reconised for its accelerated wound healing properties in such applications as surgery and sports injuries. This technology is now being used for cosmetic enhancement with outstanding results.
 
Clients are now having this treatment done to ultilise their bodies own healing potential, and to stimulate natural skin rejuvenation without the use of chemicals.
 
PRP is a bioactive stimulator, not a filler. It will increase collagen and thicken your skin to give a firmer and younger looking skin.
 
PRP Treatment is ideal for:
  • Crepey Neck
  • Eye area
  • Fine lines & wrinkles
  • Textural improvement
  • Dull dry skin
  • Back of hands
  • Full face rejuvenation
  • Decolletage

Results take around 2-3 weeks to see and a series of treatments is recommended. Your skin should continue to improve with time following your treatment programme.

Why the Med Contour Treatment is So Popular
Med contour treatments are so popular because they are non-invasive and reduce fat and cellulite without the need for surgery or anesthesia. Plus they work! See results in your first treatment! It's the revolutionary liposculpture treatment that effectively reduces fat and cellulite with no downtime and it's completely safe.
How the med Contour Treatment Works
The unique handpiece uses two angled transmitters to emit very low frequency ultrasound waves while the vacuum suction lifts the skin and allow the transmitters to specifically target the cellulite and fat. The ultrasound action causes a cavitation effect which breaks down the fat cells which are then eliminated naturally by the body.
Results
Results are long-lasting, so long as you maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. The fat cells are eliminated during your course of treatments, thereby reducing your body's ability to increase in size. However, a diet and lifestyle of poor food choices and indulgence will lead to further weight gain, so it is important to commit to a healthy diet and lifestyle to get the best long term benefits from your liposculpture treatments.
