Indeed, patients are now requesting quick, non-invasive procedures with minor downtime and very little risk. As a general rule, the needle is increasingly replacing the scalpel…
 
You are very welcome to come in for a FREE consultation to discuss your aesthetic needs. Botox®- Botulinum Toxin type A (Botox®) is most appropriate for active lines (lines that appear when you make facial expressions) or age associated wrinkles that are just starting to appear. It temporarily weakens or immobilises the muscle that is causing the wrinkle.
 
Cost – R65 per unit of Botox used.
 
The most common areas injected with Botox® are frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.
 
Botulinum Toxin type A is a family of neurotoxins that block nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. The toxin works directly where it is placed, and thus can be artistically used to alter facial expressions. For further information regarding Botox®, visit Botox.com.

Aesthetics

Fillers- Your skin is constantly under attack. Wind, sun, cold, pollution, fatigue, emotional changes, hormonal swings, and the simple passage of time all combine to wear away at its structure. And if that’s not enough, your skin’s natural moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid (HA) inevitably declines with age. This inevitable moisture loss creates lines around your lips and nose and reduces fullness around your cheek, jaw and lips, giving you an older, more tired look.
 
Cost – From R3200 per vial of filler used.
 
The Juvéderm® ULTRA and VOLUMA™ range of products are a new generation of hyaluronic acid fillers from ALLERGAN, a world leader in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic products. They use a specially formulated type of HA that exists naturally in your skin. It’s a natural, biodegradable gel that flows easily and smoothly into your skin, instantly filling out those troublesome lines, leaving a smooth and natural look and feel. So you’ll notice an immediate difference after just one treatment.
 
The Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products can replace your skin’s lost HA, moisturising your skin from the inside and helping to give it elasticity and tone. It can quickly restore your skin’s lost volume and smooth away those facial lines. And, with its added anaesthetic, you’ll have the most comfortable treatment experience possible.
 
The Juvéderm® VOLUMA™ range is injectible hyaluronic volumiser that recontours the face to restore volume to chin, cheeks, and cheekbones that have become hollow or thin due to weight loss or age-related facial fat loss. Immediately after treatment, you should notice that your facial contours appear fuller and rounder, giving your face a softer, more youthful appearance.
