Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Yes. Doctors have been administering Anti-Wrinkle Injections for over twenty years, on thousands of patients, to treat many neurological and eye disorders, as well as to reduce wrinkles.

Health & Aesthetics uses Allergan Botox, the most advanced product on the market.

Treatment does not take very long – usually about twenty minutes. The first effects will start to appear around three days later, with optimum results achieved after two weeks.

It depends how many areas you wish to treat and this can be discussed in your consultation your Doctor in your consultation. Re-treatment is recommended every 3-4 months to continue optimal results.

The effects of the treatment last about three to four months. Clinical studies have indicated that treatments last longer over time, meaning you should require fewer injections in the future. However, this varies from patient to patient.

No exercise is recommended for 24 hours.

The Nefertiti Lift was named and inspired by the elegant swan-like neck of the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti. In some patients early jowl formation is due to overactivity of the neck muscle (called the platysma), which pulls down the skin of the jawline causing jowls to form. The Nefertiti lift uses carefully positioned injections to lift the corners of the mouth, redefine the jawline and combat sagging/jowls.

Bruxism (teeth grinding) can cause headaches, jaw aches, sleeplessness, broadening of the jawline and dental problems requiring expensive corrective work.

Many people are not even aware that this is a recognised medical condition. However, if you grind your teeth a lot you’ll be exercising the masseter muscle, which can become over developed resulting in a more square-jawed or masculine appearance. You may not notice this happening slowly over time, but you may be surprised at how much of an effect grinding your teeth can have on your appearance.

Treatment involves injecting the masseter muscle to reduce its size and strength, which relaxes the jaw and relieves the symptoms.

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) occurs in up to 1% of the population. It can be embarrassing for the sufferer and seriously affect their social, professional, and intimate relationships.

Botulinum toxin is a very effective method for treating this condition. Small doses, injected into the skin, prevent the glands in the armpits from producing sweat. The effects last for three to six months. A reduction in sweating is usually first noticeable within three days and maximum benefits after approximately two weeks.

The procedure takes around twenty minutes.

Botox is a type of Botulinum toxin, which is a muscle relaxant. As such, it is also used on the treatment of a number of conditions related to overactive muscles and muscle spams.

When used for migraines, Botox relaxes the muscles that would otherwise be prone or sensitive to pain. It’s also thought that this toxin interferes with the pain signals, dulling the effect of the headache. The application of Botox specifically for migraines will follow a medical protocol, making sure the injections are administrated in all the right places to ensure effectiveness.

Botox involves a muscle relaxant being injected into a muscle in a certain area of the face. While any treatment involving injections will provide a certain level of discomfort, the needles used for Botox treatments are ultra-fine and so the pain is usually minimal. Topical anaesthetic creams or cold packs can also be used to minimise any pain, but in general, the treatment should not be too uncomfortable. And of course, you can always discuss any concerns or discomfort with the administrating doctor, so whether you are feeling any pain, or you are just afraid of needles, we will do our ultimate best to make sure you are comfortable with the treatment.

To get ultimate results, Dr Tailor believes in a combination of fillers and anti-wrinkle injections to help lift the face while relaxing muscles.

Botox works well with our laser treatments to give a further lifting effect, improve skin quality and promote collagen formation in the dermis.

We recommend use a cosmeceutical skincare range, such as ZO Skin Health, which will stimulate your skin to perform how it should, repair the skin and treat a slew of issues such as Acne, Rosacea, Lines and Wrinkles, Pigmentation and Sun Damage.
