Botox & Dermal Fillers

What are botox and dermal fillers?

Botox is a substance that is produced by bacteria: It is then highly purified, refined and diluted to act as muscle relaxant. Dermal Fillers are used to restore lost skin volume by plumping out the area with lines, wrinkles and folds. The brands our expert surgeons use are Teosyl and Restylane. BOTOX injections temporarily block the nerve endings to small facial muscles involved in producing expression lines.

Treatment with BOTOX injections results in these muscles being frozen, which in turn softens the lines in the overlaying skin. The treated muscles are unable to contract, but the untreated muscles are able to contract normally, enabling normal facial expressions to occur. The effects of BOTOX injections last for between 3 and 6 months, but with repeated treatments the muscles can become relaxed and their contractions reduced. This results in the lines becoming softer more long term and hence the skin looks younger and less tired.
