Botox - Dynamic lines and wrinkles are caused by contractions of the delicate underlying muscles every time we smile, laugh or frown. The more emotion we show the deeper these lines and wrinkles are likely to be. Over the years however, constant and even sustained contraction of these muscles, may lead to more permanent lines and creases developing. While we may have earned every one of our worry or laughter lines, the prospect of these permanent creases in the skin may not appeal to everyone. With the advent of an approved drug, dynamic lines can be dramatically softened. The procedure, which uses a purified toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum (Botox), is also termed cosmetic denervation.
Botulinum toxin has been used very safely and successfully since 1982 by ophthalmologists to treat nervous twitching of the eyelid and lazy eye.
Photo rejuvenation (photofacial or fotofacial) - is a non-invasive skin health and restoration treatment that can reduce some of the damage inflicted on your skin from sun, aging and biological factors as well as conditions such as Rosacea. The technology supplies a broad spectrum of light which reaches deep down within the skin, targeting pigment and vascular imperfections. It treats skin damage without disruption of the skin’s surface, hence, no “down time”. The goals of therapy are a more even skin color and texture.
The IPL can not only treat the imperfections on the face but also the neck, chest and hands.
