By strategically injecting botulinum toxin type A into a muscle, it temporarily blocks the nerve impulse to the muscle so that the muscle can’t contract like it normally would.

Botox® can be used for a wide variety of aesthetic and medical indications, including the following:

• Improving the appearance of wrinkles. The most common areas to be treated are the frown, forehead, crow’s feet (laughing lines around the eyes), smoker’s lines around the lips, bunny lines (wrinkles on the sides of the nose) and the chin (improves dimpling).
• Gummy smiles.
• Slimming of the face by injecting overactive masseter (jaw) muscles.
• Bruxism (teeth grinding).
• Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
• Migraines.
• Prominent neck lines (platysmal bands).

Dermal fillers consists out of hyaluronic acid, substances that appears naturally in our bodies as well. The purpose of injecting dermal fillers is to replace volume that we lose as we age. By doing this we can improve sagging, make a person look more youthful and improve the appearance of wrinkles.

The most common indications for dermal fillers are the following:

• Enhancing the cheekbones.
• Filling nasolabial folds (lines running from the nose to the mouth corners) and marionette lines (lines running from the mouth corners to the lateral chin).
• Filling smoker lines around the lips.
• Lip beautification.
• Filling the hollows under the eyes (tear troughs).

Absorbable threads are inserted under the skin. As these threads gets absorbed by the body, it leads to the formation of collagen, improving the appearance of the skin. These threads can help with lifting, skin rejuvenation and smoothing of wrinkles.

It’s a minimally invasive procedure that can be done under local anesthesia within 30-45 minutes.

This amazing product recently became available in South Africa. It also consists out of hyaluronic acid, but unlike dermal fillers, it doesn’t plump and fill, but rather stimulates a process called bio-remodeling.

By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, you get improvement in the skin’s texture, tone, hydration and overall appearance.

For best results two treatments are recommended, four weeks apart.
