Dermal fillers, Botox and rejuvenation injections are some of the most popular cosmetic procedures to improve and rejuvenate the appearance of the skin. Here is a brief explanation of each:
Fillers:
- They are used to fill in deep facial wrinkles and lines, such as smile lines and scars, and to enhance the volume of areas that have lost fullness over time, such as the cheeks and lips.
- Dermal fillers are usually made up of substances such as hyaluronic acid, which helps restore volume and moisture to the skin.
- Results are usually visible immediately and last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used.
Botox injections:
- Used to relax the muscles that cause expressive wrinkles, such as those around the eyes (smile lines) and on the forehead.
- Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, minimising the appearance of wrinkles.
- Results are usually visible within a few days and last from 3 to 6 months.
Mesotherapy/Skin Boosters:
- This technique involves injecting a mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and hyaluronic acid directly into the layers of the skin.
- The aim is to improve skin hydration, even out skin tone, and create a youthful, radiant appearance.
Results may take several sessions and last from several months to a year.
