Skin boosters
Skin boosters are typically composed of hyaluronic acid [HA] but differ to dermal fillers. As they are more generally injected over a large surface of the intended treatment area to improve the skin’s hydration quality. Skin boosters do not help shape or volumize the facial contours.
Once the skin has been cleansed, skin boosters are delivered using fine needles to deposit micro-droplets of HA producing minimal discomfort to the target area.

A course of three skin boosters, four weeks apart is best to achieve optimum results which will last approximately six to nine months.

PDO [polydioxanone] threads
PDO threads are medical grade protein which has a smaller cross section to that of hair. Helping to improve blood circulation and stimulate neocollagenesis where the body begins to produce new collagen.

PDO threads is a cosmetic procedure where sagging soft tissues are tightened and lifted stimulating new collagen production. The absorbable PDO threads are implanted under the skin using fine needles.
Numerous factors are associated with the breakdown of PDO threads. Such as your body’s metabolism and the thickness of thread. Commonly clients tend to find PDO threads to dissolve with nine months.

Anti-ageing Injections
Botox is a drug derived from bacterium Clostridium botulinum which is used in very small doses to temporarily prevent muscle contraction smoothing out lines and wrinkles
Once your face has been cleansed, botox will need to be injected into different muscles depending on the area being treated using extremely fine needles
Anti-aging injections, botox, is used to smooth out any lines or wrinkles including frown lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. Limiting any facial expression you may have providing a more youthful appearance.
The effects of botox are temporary and not permanent. Botox lasts approximately three to four months. Therefore regular maintenance is necessary.
Prices start from: £280-500
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid [HA] which are injected into target areas to either add volume or improve facial contour to soft tissue. You can have fillers in a variety of places in the face for example, cheeks under eyes, chin and nose.
Once your skin has been clinically prepared, dermal fillers will be administered using a very fine needle creating very little discomfort.
Essentially dermal fillers replace missing volume due to the aging process. So where there are deep lines or sunken areas, dermal fillers can smooth out or plump areas in the face. Dermal fillers help substitute the reduced production of collagen as we age to maintain and give a more youthful appearance.
HA is over time broken down by our bodies. Therefore it will depend on each individual’s body but fillers last between six to eighteen months. Therefore regular maintenance is required.
Prices start from: £190 -310 per 1ml (depending on brand)
Fat dissolving injections [Aqualyx]
Aqualyx is derived from cholanic acid, a gel like substance, to help break down areas of stubborn fat pockets such as under the chin. Aqualyx is licensed in the UK for spot removal of localised stubborn fat areas and not a weight loss tool for large areas of fat reduction.
Normally the aqualyx is mixed with a small quantity of local anaesthetic to reduce any discomfort at the target site. Each treatment will take 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.
Aqualyx can be effective at removing small pockets of stubborn fat. It is not an alternative for liposuction for large areas of fat removal and is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. The results will last if a stable weight is maintained. One thing to consider, if you have very lax skin, is that removing fat may leave you with excess skin which may require skin tightening afterwards
AQUALYX typically requires a course between two to eight treatments with six week intervals between each session. Although the procedure is relatively pain free, swelling after the procedure is required in order for the fat cells to break down but can take three weeks or more to subside.
