Treatments
BOtulinum TOXin therapy
Small doses are injected into targeted muscles to cause temporary chemical denervation. The 'gold standard' for preventing, reducing, and eliminating fine lines and wrinkles.
The most commonly treated areas are frown lines, forehead creases, and smile lines around the eyes.
It is also used to manage bunny lines, lip lines, chin dimpling, gummy smile, downturned mouth corners, neck bands, soften a squared jawline, bruxism, and migraine.
Effects are seen within 3-6 days, and can last 4-6 months depending on the area treated.
Some of the indications are considered "off label".

Axillary Hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating of the armpits.
Botulinum TOXin therapy is approved for therapy and is regarded as safe and effective.

Many medical aids will cover the treatment
Hyaluronic acid Fillers
Fillers are used to 're-volumise' and augment areas like cheeks, 'plump-up' small areas like lips, and 'fill-in' wrinkles not responsive to Botulinum TOXin (static lines). Fillers can restore youthful contours, correct asymmetries, and aid beautification.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring human protein, it attracts water and adds volume and fullness to the area treated .
Effects last 6-24 months depending on the area treated and the type of filler used.

Medical Grade Chemical Peels
Simply put, a chemical solution is applied to the skin to induce a controlled injury. The injured skin peels off and is replaced by new regenerated skin, leading to improved skin tone and texture.
Peels are used to reduce and improve fine lines and wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, acne, scarring, and other skin imperfections.
Dr Nicola will choose the correct type and strength according to your individual needs.
A course of 4-6 peels is usually recommended.
