Consultation
You will have an initial consultation by the doctor. After a thorough history and examination of the area/s concerned the doctor will recommend a treatment plan. Should you wish to go ahead with the treatment, you may have a treatment at the same time or return at a later date. The procedure lasts 10-15 minutes. Before and after photos may be taken so you can see how successful your treatment has been. Most people find the procedure to be painless, as only a microfine needle is used. However, a topical anaesthetic may be applied if necessary. The procedure is simple, safe and effective, and you can usually resume normal activities straight after.
Muscle Relaxing Injections
These work to relax the muscles by blocking nerve impulses. The result is that muscles can no longer contract, and so the wrinkles relax and soften. Usually it takes 2-4 days to see improvement and the effects tend to last 3 months. Most patients require repeat treatments to remove wrinkles and lines as they begin to reappear, but after several treatments the effects can last longer. Read More

Skin Peels
Skin peels are used for the treatment of many skin conditions. They can be used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sun damaged skin, acne and acne scarring and are useful in resetting the skins normal balance. Skin Peels are used to remove the outer layers of the skin under a controlled manner. The doctor has full control over the peel and is able to determine the depth it will reach for the desired effect, which ranges from a superficial to a deep. As a result the skin's normal mechanism to heal itself produces fresh new skin, which is tighter, firmer, softer, clearer and will have a shine. It also causes an increase in the production of collagen and elastin giving a more youthful appearance. Read More
