NON INVASIVE
Anti Wrinkle Treatment
A simple, non-surgical, anti wrinkle treatment that can temporarily smooth lines for both men and women. One 10-minute treatment, a few tiny injections, and within days there's a noticeable improvement in those persistent frown lines.
The treatment is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those lines to form over time. It works by temporarily reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause persistent lines. Within days you may see an improvement that can last from 3-6 months.
Fillers
As we age, the underlying tissues that keep our skin looking youthful and plumped up begin to break down, often leaving laugh lines, smile lines, crow's feet or facial creases over the areas where movement occurs.
Injectable fillers can help fill in these lines and creases, temporarily restoring a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. When injected beneath the skin, fillers plump up creased and sunken areas of the face. They can also add fullness to the lips and cheeks.
Injectable fillers may be used alone or in conjunction with a resurfacing procedure, such as a skin peel treatment, or a surgical procedure, such as a facelift. These products are of non-animal origin so avoid the necessity for an allergy test.
