Injectables
BOTOX®
What for: to smooth out lines, particularly laughter lines and frown lines
How it works: These anti-wrinkle injections are hugely popular for softening facial expression lines and making the face look refreshed. The treatment relaxes the tiny upper facial muscles, so the overlying skin stays smooth and crease-free. It works because the Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) blocks the signals from the nerves to the injected muscles, preventing the muscles from contract strongly, thus causing the lines to relax and soften.
RESTYLANE®
What for: to fill in lines or for lip enhancement
How it works: Restylane works to reduce deep folds, smile lines and superficial lines around mouth, eyes and forehead. A gel that, injected into the skin, can add volume and lift areas being treated. It can also be used to add volume to areas being treated and to improve facial contours, such as cheeks or chin.
