Botox is a purified and diluted form of Botulinum toxin protein, refined from the bacterium. Botox blocks signals from the nerves and causes the muscles to relax, that would normally contract. It is a non-surgical treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles. Our clinic will be working with Allergan, to ensure that our clients are provided with the highest quality of product.
Prior to cosmetic use, Botox was used by Neurologists and Ophthalmologists to aid in facial tics and help relax muscles around the eye. Botox is one of the top cosmetic treatments being used worldwide. It was approved by the FDA in 2002 and there has been extensive research done to support it. Botox is minimally invasive, and provides amazing results.
What Botox treatments are available?
Frown Lines: Frown lines also known as 11’s are formed from repetitive muscle movement. Botox injected into the muscles between the eyes can smooth the creases.
Forehead Lines: Botox in your forehead muscles can help lift and smooth creases. Botox in this area can also be used for preventative measure, which reduces the formation of new wrinkles (amount of units varies on each individual)
Crow’s Feet: These are the lines that form around your eyes from smiling and squinting. There are three regions on each side of the eye where injections can be given. Injecting Botox into these muscles, will allow the muscle to relax, showing reduced lines.
Other Areas: Botox is great for bunny lines, lip flip, gummy smile, chin, dao’s and masseters.
Migraines and Hyperhidrosis: Our Medical Director offers Medical Injections such as Botox for migraines and hyperhidrosis.
Results may vary depending on the individual.
Like Botox, Dysport was also made from Botulinum toxin type A. Small botulinum injections into your skin blocks signals from the nerves and causes the muscles to relax. Since your muscles are no longer contracting, it can help keep your skin smooth, and lessen wrinkles. Dysport was approved by the FDA in 2009 and has been proven to be safe for most patients. Dysport has been shown to be effective from 3-5 days post injections, with no downtime after treatment. Visage Medical Aesthetics will be working directly with Galderma. Results vary from person to person.
Belkyra is made from a natural molecule called Deoxycholic acid that helps absorb and break down fat cells under your chin (double chin). Each treatment is customized to every patient. Book in for your free consultation and treatment plan tailored to your aesthetic goals.
At Visage, we are proud to offer Belkyra treatments using the highest quality product. Belkyra contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. By injecting Belkyra into the submental area, we can effectively destroy fat cells, resulting in a more sculpted and contoured jawline.
Why choose Belkyra?
Belkyra offers several advantages as a double chin treatment:
Non-surgical: Belkyra is a non-surgical alternative to invasive procedures such as liposuction or neck lift surgery. It provides noticeable results without the need for incisions or downtime.
- Targeted fat reduction: Belkyra specifically targets and reduces fat cells in the submental area, resulting in a more defined jawline and improved overall facial profile.
- Long-lasting results: Once the fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer accumulate or store fat. This means that the results achieved with Belkyra can be long-lasting, provided a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
What to expect during your Belkyra treatment?
Your journey towards a more sculpted and contoured jawline begins with a free consultation at Visage. During this appointment, our experienced injector will assess your specific concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Belkyra is the right treatment for you.
On the day of your treatment, you’ll arrive at our clinic and be greeted by our friendly staff. Your injector will review the treatment plan with you and answer any questions you may have. Belkyra is typically administered using a series of injections into the submental area. The number of injections and vials required will depend on the amount of submental fullness and your desired results.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a substance derived from your own blood that contains a concentrated amount of platelets, growth factors, and other beneficial proteins. These components play a crucial role in tissue repair, regeneration, and healing. When applied to the scalp or skin, PRP stimulates collagen production, boosts cell turnover, and promotes the growth of new hair follicles, resulting in improved hair thickness and quality, as well as smoother, younger-looking skin.
Consultation: Your Path to Radiance
Before embarking on your PRP journey, a consultation with one of our experienced practitioners is essential. During this personalized session, we will assess your specific needs, discuss your medical history, and address any concerns you may have. This is the perfect opportunity to ask questions, gain a deeper understanding of the treatment, and set realistic expectations.
Contraindications: Safety is Paramount
While PRP is generally safe, there are a few contraindications to consider. Individuals with active infections, chronic liver disease, platelet dysfunction syndrome, or those on blood-thinning medications may not be suitable candidates for this treatment. Our expert team will carefully evaluate your medical history to ensure that PRP is the right choice for you.
The Treatment: A Journey to Rejuvenation
Once you’ve decided to proceed with PRP, the treatment process is straightforward and minimally invasive. First, a small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm, similar to a regular blood test. The blood will then be processed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from other components. The PRP is then carefully injected into the desired areas of your scalp or skin using fine needles. While some discomfort may be experienced during the procedure, numbing creams are available to minimize any potential discomfort.
Aftercare: Nurturing Your Results
After your PRP treatment, it’s important to follow the recommended aftercare instructions provided by our team. This may include avoiding vigorous exercise, sun exposure, and certain skincare products for a specific period of time. It’s crucial to protect your skin and hair from excessive heat and UV rays to optimize the healing and rejuvenation process.
