Botulinum toxin

Botulinum toxin is one of the most popular injectable treatments available worldwide. It is a purified substance used for cosmetic and medical reasons.

Botulinum toxin is used to temporarily relax muscles in the targeted area. In small, controlled doses, botulinum toxin can be used safely and effectively for cosmetic and medical purposes.

When injected into specific muscles, Botulinum toxin can temporarily block the signals from the nerves that control muscle contractions, causing the muscle to relax and soften.
These injections are commonly used to treat wrinkles and fine lines on the face, particularly those caused by repetitive facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or smiling.

The treatment can also be used to address medical conditions such as excessive sweating and bruxism.

It is important to note that while Botulinum toxin injections are generally considered safe and effective, there are risks associated with any medical procedure. Possible side effects include pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site. It’s important to discuss the risks and benefits with a qualified healthcare provider before deciding whether the treatment is right for you.

Chemical Peels

The basic principle of chemical peeling is to cause injury to the skin at the required depth, allowing regeneration to take place, without causing permanent scarring. The various types of chemical agents used in chemical peeling differ in their chemical properties and mechanism of action.

Chemical peels are a popular and effective cosmetic treatment that can improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, and hands. They work by applying a solution made up of various acids to the skin, which causes the outer layers to peel away. This process reveals new, smoother, and more even skin underneath.

Chemical peels can be used to treat a range of skin conditions, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation.
Chemical peels are generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced skin therapist or dermatologist. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of chemical peels with your dermatologist before deciding if this treatment is right for you.

Overall, chemical peels are an effective way to improve the appearance and health of your skin.

Whether you’re looking to reduce the signs of aging or address a specific skin condition, a chemical peel can help you achieve your goals and feel more confident in your own skin.

Micro-Needling - Dermapen

Dermapen microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that involves puncturing the skin with tiny needles to stimulate collagen production and promote skin rejuvenation. It is a minimally invasive procedure that is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture.

During the procedure, a device called a Dermapen is used to make small punctures in
the skin. We use the Dermapen 4 medical device, this is only used in doctors’ practices.

The Dermapen is a handheld device that has a small needle tip that oscillates up and down to create tiny punctures in the skin. The depth of the punctures can be adjusted based on the specific needs of the patient. The punctures created by the Dermapen trigger the body’s natural healing process, which stimulates collagen production and increases blood flow to the treated area.

Dermapen microneedling is typically performed in a clinical setting by a skin therapist or dermatologist. The procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Patients may experience some redness and mild swelling after the procedure.

Overall, dermapen microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for improving the appearance of the skin.

It is important to note that while microneedling is generally considered safe and effective, there are risks associated with any medical procedure. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits with a qualified healthcare provider before deciding whether the treatment is right for you.
