Skin
CareBeautiful skin starts with good nutrition, exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining
healthy skin also requires cleansing, dehydration and nourishment. The sooner you
start a comprehensive skin care and maintenance program the better. It is never too
late to improve the condition of your skin.
We all know that the secret to beautiful skin starts with a healthy diet, regular exercise and a balanced lifestyle. However, the inevitable effects of ageing combined with the additional factors of sun exposure, smoking, poor diet and stress all take their toll and eventually leave their mark. Although wrinkles, lines and age spots are formed by the natural effects of getting older, one way to prevent them from appearing early on in life is to avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreens with SPFs 15 or higher. And, although most of us have some form of sun-damaged skin, there are ways to regain healthy, smooth skin.

Muscle Relaxant injections for wrinkles
By using facial muscles repeatedly throughout our lifetime, the skin is creased in areas of greatest use. The aging process causes the slow down of collagen and elastin production in the skin so that as we get older these areas of over use become damaged and the lines become permanent. Botox treatment reduces movement of muscles in these areas and the skin stops being creased and is allowed to recover causing the lines to soften or even fade away.
This procedure can have remarkable results in improving the wrinkles resulting from hyperactive facial muscles. It is used to treat frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines and 'crows feet' around the eyes.
The muscle relaxant is injected with a very fine needle. After the injection, the muscles will relax and the skin will smooth itself out over a period of 5-14 days.
The result is a softer, more relaxed and pleasant appearance. The effect usually lasts about six months and can be repeated when needed. Most patients require less frequent treatments over time as the muscles 'retrain' and weaken from disuse.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are used to soften and contour lines, folds, and wrinkles. The most commonly used dermal fillers are Hyaluronic based. The solution is injected into the skin to add volume and create a more youthful appearance. Dermal Fillers are an ideal solution for patients wanting to soften deep lines from the mouth to nose area, lip lines, enhance thin lips, create a more define lip border and to lift the corners of the mouth.
