• Botulinum toxin injections are an incredibly popular and highly effective treatment for reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles. This treatment works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, which results in a reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. The results of botulinum toxin injections typically last 3-4 months, and it is a safe and effective treatment option that can be repeated regularly over many years.
• Hyaluronic acid-based skin boosters are an additional and effective treatment particularly when used in combination with botulinum toxin injections. Together they help restore and rejuvenate ageing facial skin.
• Sciton BBL phototherapy is also a highly effective, non-invasive treatment using advanced light technology. This stimulates collagen and elastin production and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Sciton BBL is a safe and effective treatment that can be performed quickly with minimal discomfort and downtime.
