Cosmetic services
Cosmetic injections. Primarily known for the treatment and prevention of wrinkles, these medications are injectables that work to relax the muscles which cause wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Both medications are types of botulinum toxin and have been used to treat muscle spasms in certain health conditions.
- Botox®.
- Dysport®.
Dermal fillers. Commonly referred to as fillers, this medication has a base of hyaluronic acid and its treatment focuses on smoothing wrinkles of the face, specifically the cheeks, lips and around the mouth. This treatment works by adding volume to the facial tissue through its active ingredient, hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body and stimulates the production of the connective tissue that plumps the skin. As you get older, the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen decreases causing an increase in the appearance of sagging and wrinkling of the facial skin.
