Typically, a mild, localised anaesthetic is administered to minimise or often eliminate any discomfort associated with this particular treatment. The anaesthetic helps numb the area, ensuring a more comfortable experience. The duration of the numbing effects may vary, lasting anywhere from 15 minutes to a couple of hours, depending on the specific type of anaesthetic utilised. It is worth noting that there are no reports of pain experienced after the procedure has been completed.

After receiving Radiesse® treatments, patients can resume their regular activities immediately.

Some minimal bruising may occur at the injection site, but it is typically temporary and minor.

FDA has approved Radiesse and Radiesse (+) as dermal fillers to even out moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds (the lines that stretch from the edge of the nose to the edge of the mouth).

The benefits of Radiesse® dermal filler typically last between 6 to 24 months, and this duration can vary depending on multiple factors. These factors encompass the specific treatment area, the quantity of product administered, the severity of the cosmetic concerns being addressed, the technique used during the filler application, and the individual's genetic predisposition. For an estimation of the expected duration of results, it is crucial to undergo a comprehensive examination conducted by an experienced appearance medicine professional. They will carefully evaluate the unique characteristics and requirements of the patient, taking into account the aforementioned factors. This personalised assessment will provide a more accurate understanding of how long the benefits of Radiesse® are likely to endure for that particular individual. It is important to note that the duration of results can vary from person to person, and it is highly recommended to seek consultation from a qualified professional for an accurate evaluation of your specific case.

Radiesse® injections are commonly used for a variety of purposes, offering a range of benefits. These injections are typically performed to address the following concerns: Smoothing and contouring smile lines or nasolabial folds: Radiesse® can effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines around the mouth, including smile lines or nasolabial folds. Treating wrinkles at the corner of the mouth: Radiesse® injections are suitable for diminishing wrinkles and lines that form at the corners of the mouth, helping to restore a more youthful look. Improving certain types of acne scars: Radiesse® has been found to be effective in improving the appearance of specific types of acne scars, resulting in smoother skin texture. Correcting facial defects or recessions: Radiesse® can be used to address facial defects or areas with decreased volume, helping to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial contour. Restoring volume in and around various areas such as cheeks, back of the hands, neck, and upper arms: Radiesse® injections are commonly employed to restore lost volume in different regions, including the cheeks, back of the hands, neck, and upper arms, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Following Radiesse® treatments, patients can promptly resume their normal activities without any downtime. The outcomes are typically evident, showcasing notable enhancements in wrinkles, enhanced lips, or the smoothing of depressed scars. Mild swelling at the treatment site is common, and it generally diminishes within 24 to 36 hours, with the duration varying based on the specific area treated. Some minimal bruising might occur at the injection site, but it is usually temporary and of minor significance.

Radiesse helps to instantly even out lines and wrinkles upon injection, resulting in natural-looking outcomes that persist for a year or more in numerous patients.

Unlike traditional approaches that focus solely on filling wrinkles, Profhilo® employs a unique slow-release mechanism of HA. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, leading to improvements in skin tone, hydration, and the reduction of fine lines. The outcome is enhanced skin quality that can last between 6 to 9 months. Due to its hydrophilic nature, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in Profhilo® possesses the ability to attract and retain water from within your body. As a result, Profhilo® functions as a remarkable hydrator rather than a conventional filler. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals with fatigued and lacklustre skin, as it rejuvenates and revitalises, leaving behind a firm and radiant complexion. This transformative effect becomes noticeable within 3-5 days following treatment. Over the subsequent weeks, the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated, leading to an additional tightening effect on the skin. This is particularly valuable because as we age, the levels of collagen, elastin, and Hyaluronic Acid in the skin decline rapidly from the age of 30, resulting in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin. Profhilo® effectively works to counteract these changes and reverse their effects. The maximum impact of Profhilo® typically emerges 2 to 3 months after the second treatment, delivering optimal outcomes.

After undergoing a Profhilo® treatment, the associated downtime is minimal, allowing you to resume your regular "light" daily activities immediately following the procedure. However, we advise refraining from engaging in physically strenuous activities or sports on the first day after treatment, as well as minimising sauna usage and steamy baths for the initial few days. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to intense sunlight or UV light for the first few days post-treatment. Subsequent Consultation We highly recommend scheduling a complimentary follow-up appointment two weeks after your treatment to assess and discuss the personalised outcomes of your procedure.

Profhilo® is an injectable treatment designed for skin remodelling, featuring one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) available in the market. It is specifically formulated to address the volume and elasticity concerns of individuals with depleted skin.

Profhilo® is administered through injections positioned just beneath the surface of the skin, typically performed in two sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, as recommended. Upon injection, it quickly disperses within the skin, enhancing hydration without requiring massage and minimising the risk of lumps or nodules. Profhilo® is absorbed within a radius of approximately 2 cm from the injection site, necessitating around 10 injection points to effectively address the entire face. A single course of Profhilo® treatment imparts a radiant glow to the skin, often leading to the disappearance of fine lines and a noticeable improvement in skin smoothness and firmness. To maintain these results or as advised during your consultation, a course of two treatments can be repeated every six months as needed.

Just like other Botulinum Toxins by preventing the nerves from communicating with the muscles so that muscles cannot contract and cause wrinkles. On a more chemical level when Xeomin® is injected into your muscle it blocks the release of acetylcholine in which stimulates the messages from the nerve terminals that cause the muscles to contract. This results in relaxation of the muscle injected with a decrease in ability to forcefully contract.

Xeomin® does not have to be refrigerated so this makes it easy to distribute- no cold storage needed until it is mixed. Xeomin® is manufactured through Merz who have taken the naturally C. botulinum that produces the toxin associated with accessory proteins (toxin complex), isolated the therapeutic component through the manufactory process, and removed the accessory proteins with the results ending with an amazing product-Xeomin®. Xeomin® just contains botulinum toxin type A only without any preservatives or additives, lessening the likelihood that you will develop antibodies. Not all toxins are the same, and Xeomin® dosages will be different from other botulinum toxins. Xeomin® effects are noticeable from 1-2 weeks post treatment and can last from 3-6months. This is different for Botox® and other brands Botulinum Toxin. It is also important to note that these different types of Botulinum Toxin should not be used interchangeably. Something to be aware of when changing practitioners.

Xeomin® is named the purest on the market when it comes to Botulinum Toxin, with no complex proteins around the outside making it less likely you will create a strong immune response. Immune reactions can be triggered if the botulinum toxin is less pure.
