BOTOX
Botox is the trade name for a highly purified preparation of botulinum toxin type A that is used to cosmetically remove wrinkles and treat some muscle conditions, such as spasms. It has been used by patients worldwide for more than 15 years.

Botox is mainly used to eliminate or reduce wrinkles in the forehead and eyebrow area as well as crow's feet around the eyes.  Botox injections are administered into the muscles causing the frown lines, which makes them relax and drastically reduce or eliminate wrinkles.  Injections are done using extremely thin needles which usually do not leave any marks, patients can resume normal activity straight away.  There may be some bruising or mild swelling.  The entire procedure usually takes around 10 minutes, with the effects becoming obvious from 3-10 days.  The benefits of each treatment usually last from 3-6 months.

Botox can also be used to control excessive sweating and body odour, to slim down large calf muscles and to reduce square jaw lines.

DERMAL FILLERS
Ageing is inevitable. As we age we lose volume due to the breakdown of the facial support structure, collagen and elastin. The shape of our face changes, cheeks become hollow, lips thinner and naso-genian folds (creases from nose to lips) give one a tired, worn look. Smoothing out the folds and wrinkles or enhancing your lips with filler injections can make an enormous difference to one's appearance.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are made of crystal clear gel which resembles that which occurs naturally in the body. This gel holds water, hydrating and giving volume, leaving your face with a natural expression. The filler is non-permanent and is absorbed naturally over time. The lasting effects depend on the type of filler used and the structure of your skin. Other factors such as lifestyle (smoking and exposure to sun can shorten the effect); age and the degree of perfection demanded will also influence the life of the filler. The average durability of fillers is 9 - 18 months.

Collagen fillers have one additional advantage in that they encourage the integration of fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are cells which produce new collagen within the implant thus there is always some degree of permanent benefit after the implant is absorbed.

During consultation with Doctor Khan your expectations of the cosmetic effect will be discussed and the correct product identified e.g. fillers containing Hyaluronic acid or Collagen, fillers with a small particle used for fine lines or larger particles for deeper wrinkles, folds and lips.

Fillers are injected under the skin and can be mildly uncomfortable. A nerve block, similar to a dental injection is used when working close to the nose and lips because of sensitivity. Some injection-related reactions can occur, such as bruising, redness, swelling and tenderness at the injection site but clear after a day or two. A return to daily routine after treatment is normal.

GENUINE DERMAROLLER™ THERAPY

can significantly improve the appearance of:

• Acne scars

• Aged and sun damaged skin

• Facial and décolleté lines and wrinkles

• Stretch marks

Genuine Dermaroller™ Therapy™ provides advanced micro-medical skin-needling, a procedure that stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and safely, creating smoother, brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin

The Dermaroller medical devices are designed to be used by trained medical practitioners in a procedure that will create approx 300 micro medical needle channels per cm² in to the dermis of the skin. Below the outer stratum corneum layer of the epidermis the needle is penetrating in to living tissue. In the dermis, the target area of Genuine Dermaroller™ Therapy™, there is a complex of epithelial cells, blood supply, nerve cells, extracellular matrix, collagen, elastin and cells such as fibroblasts that produce and repair this essential part of our bodies. By providing a controlled physical stimulation of the dermis your practitioner is able to initiate a natural skin regeneration and repair process that can lead to smoother, brighter, healthier, younger looking skin and that can help improve and smooth atrophic scaring caused by diseases such as acne and chicken pox, and injury. To achieve the desired results it is often necessary to carry out 3 procedures approx 6 weeks apart, this will always be done under consultation and agreement with your medical aesthetic clinic.

But don’t get fooled in to thinking that skin-needling is a procedure you should do yourself at home, no matter what some of the non-medical device needle roller re-sellers and websites say.

For an effective treatment your practitioner will be looking to achieve pin-point bleeding, uniform redness and slight swelling across the treatment area. The Genuine Dermaroller™ Therapy™ will however be comfortable, a topical anaesthetic will be applied (this should only be used under medical supervision), this "numbing" effect along with the quality of the device and the technique of the trained practitioner will make the procedure a pleasant experience.

Once the Genuine Dermaroller™ Therapy™ procedure has finished and the skin has been cleansed and soothed the treated area will look just like the sunburn and will feel warm and tight. Because Genuine Dermaroller™ practitioners have been through thorough training effective treatment can be provided around the delicate mouth area, around the sensitive eye contour and even on the eye-lids.

The tremendous benefits of Genuine Dermaroller™ Therapy are not only the fantastic clinical results but the excellent safety profile and lack of down-time associated with the procedure. Because the Genuine Dermaroller™ medical device is of such high quality, with precision surgical needles that are incredibly sharp and fine and a medically engineered design (including needle-length), minimal pressure is required to achieve the creation of the multiple skin-needle columns and virtually no unnecessary peripheral damage is caused to the skin. Therefore your practitioner can achieve optimum stimulation of the dermis, whilst keeping the outer layer of the skin the epidermis intact. This reduces the risk of exposure to UV and minimises the “social down time”. Normally after a procedure the skin looks like moderate sun burn that will normally significantly reduce within 12 to 24 hours.
