Botox ®/ Dysport ®

Neuromodulators

Lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process, caused by the regular contraction of facial muscles below the surface of the skin.  Botox® & Dysport® are two treatments that work to reverse the visible signs of aging by relaxing these muscles beneath the skin’s surface.

Procedure Time: 15-30 minutes
Recovery Time: Minimal to none

Most Common Treatment Areas:

  • Frown lines (the “11’s)
  • Forehead lines
  • Crow’s feet
  • Smoker’s lines / Lip lines
  • Wrinkles on the nose
  • Extremely popular for jaw slimming/re-shaping and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

People in their mid-to-late 20s or even early 30s would be considered candidates for preventative Botox® / Dysport® Injections. Preventative injections slow the appearance of facial wrinkles and help keep your youthful appearance.

** Includes a complementary ‘top up’ after 2 weeks

*Results are not guaranteed, and individual experiences may vary.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The most common areas that are requested for treatment include frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eyes), bunny lines (side of the nose), and smokers lines (lips).

Sandra and Natalie are experienced in subtly lifting or reshaping areas of the face, including the brow (to reshape and lift), jaw line (to slim), gummy smile (to lower a top lip and reduce the show of the upper gum), Marionette area (to lift a droopy smile), chin (to reduced dimpled appearance), and the platysmal bands in the neck (to reduce their visibility).

Botox® / Dysport® are botulinum toxin, a purified protein which is injected to temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for causing lines and wrinkles. As the muscles relax, the overlying skin which has been creased tight into fine folds, also relaxes and lines and wrinkles smooth away.

Treatment for lines and wrinkles, or recontouring of the face, will always begin with a consultation to determine the correct treatment for you. If Botox® / Dysport®  is appropriate, you will have the opportunity to have your treatment on another day, or if you feel fully informed and comfortable to proceed, the treatment can usually be done the same day.

The procedure itself involves only minor discomfort as we use only ultra fine (disposable) needles, and offer numbing cream (although many patients find this unnecessary). The process takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Although mild redness and slight swelling is common immediately after treatment, this usually resolves within 30 minutes. Mild bruising is possible, but for the vast majority of patients, there is no real downtime and most will return to work or their usual daily activities immediately.

Effects begin to show between 3 and 14 days following treatment. We invite our patients back after two weeks to review the results, and make any fine adjustments where necessary. This is considered an integral part of the treatment and does not incur any extra charge.

We ask that patients avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, excessive heat (such as saunas) and massage of the treated area for 24 hours post treatment. Beyond that, no special precautions need be taken and you can simply look forward to the results of your treatment taking effect.

Treatment results last an average of 3-4 months, although noticeably longer can be achieved in some cases. It is important to note that Botox® / Dysport®  injections to reduce lines and wrinkles or reshape the face is not a permanent solution. Lines, wrinkles and previous facial form will eventually return and further treatments will be required.

People begin to show signs of ageing at different ages. This is largely dictated by genetics and environmental factors. In addition, what might be a concern for one person, might be attractive or even un-noticed by another. As such there is no right answer to this question. What is important is that each individual is assessed on account of their own personal concerns, objectives and medical history. At Rejuvena Medical Aesthetics I have patients in their twenties through to their eighties. I do not offer treatment to patients under the age of 18.

Whilst Botox® / Dysport®  used at Rejuvena Medical Aesthetics has been rigorously tested and has a robust safety record globally, offered to tens of millions of patients over decades; no injectable treatment is without risk. It is recommended that you always seek an appropriately trained and highly skilled Medical Aesthetics Professional to administer any injectable treatment. At Rejuvena Medical Aesthetics, only Sandra, a certified cosmetic injector, will carry out your Botox® / Dysport® practising injections.
