Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to fill out lines and wrinkles, accentuate the contours of lips, restore sunken cheeks to normal shape, reshape noses, and help with the definition of weak chins.

As an example, one of the most commonly used fillers is Restylane. Restylane is a natural substance, hyaluronic acid, and is present naturally in the skin. The restylane used in the treatments is not from a human or animal source.

During the filler treatment, restylane is injected into the area being treated, with a very fine needle, after the application of pain-relieving cream or, if necessary around the mouth, a stronger anaesthetic.

The treatment will take from 40 to 60 minutes depending on what's being done.

Restylane

This dermal filler is a very popular treatment for correcting wrinkles and folds, shaping facial contours and augmenting the lips. As the experts say, 'Restylane is a complete solution for tissue-tailored facial augmentation - a natural beauty lift using the body's own material.'

Restylane is a crystal clear, biodegradable non-animal skin rejuvenation stabilized hyaluronic acid gel, which is injected into the skin (dermis - see diagram) in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous, producing a long lasting, natural enhancement which is gentle and safe to the skin.

Botox®

What is Botulinum Toxin?

Botulinum Toxin is a truly remarkable treatment. It is a chemical produced by the Botulinum bacteria. Botox® is a protein derivative of the toxin, which, when injected into the muscle, causes it to become weakened or inactivated. It stops the muscle from functioning by blocking neuromuscular transmission - i.e. it stops the chemical messages from the nerve to the muscle.

How does it work?

As facial muscles are used repeatedly, over time the skin is creased in areas of greatest use. The aging process causes the slow down of collagen and elastin production in the skin so that as we get older the areas of over-use become damaged and the lines become permanent.

By reducing the movement of muscles in these areas, the skin stops being creased and is allowed to recover, causing the lines to soften or even fade away. In the areas treated, the muscles are temporarily inactivated (always reversible), during which time the patient can break the subconscious habit of overusing these muscles. Depending on each individual and the dose used, the response to the treatment can vary from a relaxation of the muscles to an inability to move the muscles.

After Botox® treatment, normal activities can be resumed straight away, with the exception of exercise, lying down, or touching the treated areas, all for about 4 hours, after which you may continue with all normal activities.

For the first couple of years, frequent treatments (three monthly) are required to 're-educate' the facial muscles. Thereafter, treatments are less frequent until a yearly maintenance treatment is normally all that is required.

How long has Botox® been in use?

As long ago as 1978, Botox® was used as a treatment for patients with eye squints by weakening the overactive eye muscle. Since then, in addition to it's very popular use in medical cosmetics treatments, Botox® has been used in a variety of therapeutic areas such as spasmodic neck, writer's cramp, tics, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy. It has been used cosmetically for more than 15 years and one full treatment dose is now considered as safe as a quarter of an aspirin!
