A precise treatment to smooth existing lines, prevent deeper static wrinkles from forming, and subtly contour the face for a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

How It Works: 

The treatment is injected by a medical professional in precise, tiny amounts into the targeted muscles. It works by gently blocking the nerve signals that tell those muscles to contract, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out and remain still.

Targeted Results: 

While famously used for frown lines (glabella), forehead lines, and crow’s feet, advanced techniques allow us to target specific muscles for enhanced results:

• Brow Lift: A subtle lift of the eyebrows for a more alert and refreshed look.
• Bunny Lines: Smoothing wrinkles on the sides of the nose.
• Gummy Smile: Minimising excessive gum show when smiling.
• Nefertiti Lift: Softening the jawline and lifting the neck and lower face by targeting the platysma bands and DAO (Depressor Anguli Oris) muscle.
• Masseter Reduction: Softening a square jawline caused by an overdeveloped masseter muscle, which can also help with teeth grinding (bruxism).
• Marionette Lines & DAO: Relaxing the Depressor Anguli Oris muscle to turn the corners of the mouth upward, reducing a sad or angry expression.
• Platysmal Bands: Smoothing the vertical ‘cords’ on the neck.

Treatment Plan:

A quick and convenient appointment, often described as a brief pinch, typically taking around 10-20 minutes with no downtime required. A personalised plan is created during your initial consultation to address your specific aesthetic goals.

Touch-Ups & Follow-up:

A follow-up appointment at 2-3 weeks is often recommended to assess results. At this point, a minor touch-up can be performed to address any minimal, residual muscle activity for perfect symmetry and optimal effect. This is especially common for first-time patients.

Longevity:

Visible results typically develop within a few days and can last for 3-4 months. With repeated treatments, the results often last longer as the muscles are trained to relax.

Downtime: 7 – 10 days

Proven Popularity:

Used safely in medicine for over 30 years and is one of the world’s most popular cosmetic procedures. Trusted brands include Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Bocouture®.

A versatile medical treatment that provides significant relief from chronic conditions by targeting the underlying muscle overactivity or glandular dysfunction, greatly improving quality of life.

How It Works: 

When used therapeutically, the injections work on the same principle as cosmetic use: by blocking the release of the chemical messenger (acetylcholine) that causes muscle contractions or glandular secretions. This targeted action provides relief from chronic symptoms.

Targeted Results:

Treatment focuses on managing specific medical conditions, including:

• Chronic Migraine: Preventative treatment to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine days.
• Muscle Spasticity: Managing excessive muscle stiffness in adults with upper limb spasticity, cervical dystonia (neck spasms), or in paediatric patients with cerebral palsy.
• Hyperhidrosis: Drastically reducing severe, uncontrollable underarm, palm, or foot sweating.
• Overactive Bladder & Incontinence: Reducing urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency in patients who have not responded to other medications.
• Blepharospasm & Strabismus: Treating involuntary eye twitching (blepharospasm) and misaligned eyes (strabismus).

Treatment Plan:

A treatment plan is developed by a medical specialist (e.g., neurologist, urologist, dermatologist) based on the specific condition. Injection patterns, dosages, and intervals are highly customized. For migraines, for example, a protocol involves 31-39 injections across 7 specific head and neck muscle sites every 12 weeks.

Touch-Ups & Follow-up:

Dosing is highly precise and based on the patient’s response. After the initial treatment, the specialist may schedule a follow-up to assess efficacy and note any need for dosage or injection site adjustments in subsequent sessions. “Touch-ups” are not typical; instead, the entire treatment is repeated on a scheduled basis.

Longevity:

The therapeutic effects are temporary, typically lasting approximately 3 to 4 months for conditions like migraines and spasticity, after which repeat treatments are necessary for sustained management.

Downtime: No downtime, can resume with normal daily activities immediately

Proven Popularity:

Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) has been used safely in medicine for decades, with its first FDA approval for strabismus in 1989. It is now an established, evidence-based treatment for numerous conditions, backed by extensive clinical research.

Micro-Needling Radio Frequency (MN-RF) is an advanced, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines the collagen-inducing power of micro-needling with the deep tissue heating and tightening effects of radio frequency (RF) energy. This powerful synergy allows for precise skin remodeling on both the face and body, making it a premier solution for sagging skin, wrinkles, and textural irregularities. Popular and effective devices include Morpheus8, Genius, and Vivace.

How It Works:

Fine, insulated needles painlessly penetrate the skin’s surface. Once at the optimal depth, the tip of the needle emits controlled RF energy directly into the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue. This bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver heat precisely where it’s needed most. This thermal energy causes immediate tissue contraction and, more importantly, triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response. This process stimulates a significant and long-term production of new collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, smoother, and tighter skin over time.

Targeted Results:

Face: Smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, improves acne scarring, reduces pore size, tightens lax skin (e.g., jowls, eyelids), and improves overall skin pigmentation, tone and texture.

Body: This is an increasingly recognized and powerful application. MN-RF is highly effective for addressing:

Skin laxity following weight loss

Reduction of back fat and bra bulge

Smoothing thighs and toning arms

Improving the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite on the abdomen and thighs

Morpheus8 for body specifically uses longer needles to target these deeper fat layers and connective tissue, promoting significant contouring and tightening.

Treatment Plan:

A typical treatment plan consists of 3-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow for full collagen regeneration. Mild redness and swelling may occur post-treatment but typically subside within 24-48 hours. Results are progressive, with initial improvements visible within a few weeks and optimal results developing over 3-6 months as new collagen forms.

Downtime: 1 to 2 weeks 

Longevity:

The results from a complete series of MN-RF treatments can last for 1-2 years or more. Since the treatment works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, the results are natural and long-lasting. Maintenance treatments are recommended annually to sustain and build upon the results.

Proven Popularity:

Once an underrated treatment for the body, MN-RF has surged in demand due to its proven efficacy and non-surgical nature. It is now one of the most sought-after procedures for non-invasive body contouring and skin tightening. A 2021 study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that micro-needling RF produced significant improvement in skin laxity and was well-tolerated by patients, supporting its widespread clinical use (Source: J Cosmet Dermatol. 2021;20:1001–1005).

Micro-Needling RF effectively tightens, smooths, and contours both face and body by triggering your skin’s natural collagen renewal for transformative, long-lasting results.

Ablative laser resurfacing: The gold standard for significantly rejuvenating skin texture, tone, and tightness. Revitalize your skin, reduce imperfections, and reveal a radiant, more youthful complexion.

What it is:

CO2 laser resurfacing is a gold-standard cosmetic procedure that uses a focused beam of light to precisely remove damaged skin layers. It is one of the most effective treatments for significant skin renewal, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

How It Works:

The laser delivers short, pulsed energy (or continuous light in a scanned pattern) that is absorbed by the water in your skin cells. This action creates microscopic columns of treated tissue, vaporizing damaged skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This controlled injury stimulates the body’s natural healing process, triggering massive collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, and tighter skin. 

Targeted Results:

This treatment is designed to dramatically improve overall skin quality. It is highly effective for treating:

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Especially around the eyes and mouth.
• Sun Damage and Age Spots: Effectively lightens hyperpigmentation.
• Acne Scars and Surgical Scars: Smoothes and softens their appearance.
• Uneven Skin Texture and Tone: Creates a uniform, refined surface.
• Enlarged Pores: Minimizes their appearance for a smoother canvas.

The result is skin that not only looks rejuvenated but feels significantly smoother, allowing for more make-up free days and far smoother, more complimentary make-up application.

Treatment Plan:

While some minor concerns may show improvement in a single session, more than one session is often required for optimal results, particularly for deeper wrinkles or significant scarring. A typical treatment plan is tailored during your consultation and may involve:

1. A single, comprehensive ablative treatment with a longer recovery time.
2. A series of 2-3 “fractional” or lighter treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with minimal downtime. A personalized regimen will be recommended based on your specific skin goals and condition.

Downtime: 1 to 2 weeks

Longevity:

The results of CO2 laser resurfacing are long-lasting. The new collagen formation provides structural improvement that can endure for several years. The treated signs of aging will not return, but your skin will continue to age naturally. Maintaining results requires a consistent skincare regimen with daily sunscreen (SPF 30+) and avoiding excessive sun exposure, as this is the primary cause of skin aging.

Proven Popularity:

CO2 laser technology has been used in medicine for decades and remains one of the most popular and extensively researched aesthetic procedures worldwide. A study in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy found that fractional CO2 laser resurfacing produced significant and sustained improvement in skin texture, wrinkles, and scarring, with high patient satisfaction rates (Source: J Cosmet Laser Ther. 2014 Jun;16(3):110-4*). 

Ablative laser resurfacing: The gold standard for significantly rejuvenating skin texture, tone, and tightness.

Skin Booster Treatments: The Injectable Skincare Revolution

A comprehensive treatment to rejuvenate skin health, targeting hydration, texture, elasticity, and radiance for a naturally refined complexion.

What it is:

Skin boosters are a advanced category of injectable treatments designed to fundamentally improve overall skin quality from the inside out. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, skin boosters work as an all-over treatment, delivering a network of ultra-pure hyaluronic acid (HA), vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids throughout the skin’s middle layer. This nourishes the skin and stimulates its own regenerative processes for a sustained improvement. Popular and trusted brands include Teosyal Redensity I, Jalupro, NCTF 135HA, and Profhilo.

How It Works:

The treatment involves a series of micro-injections that deposit tiny droplets of a specially formulated cocktail across the treatment area. The key ingredient, hyaluronic acid, binds to water to provide intense hydration. Simultaneously, the added nutrients help to combat oxidative stress and fuel fibroblasts—the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This dual action hydrates skin cells and actively stimulates the production of new supportive structures, creating a healthier skin environment.

Targeted Results:

This treatment is ideal for holistically addressing a range of skin concerns by restoring its foundation. It can significantly benefit:

• Skin Dullness & Texture: Revives lacklustre skin for a dewy, radiant glow and smoother feel.
• Enlarged Pore Appearance: Hydrated, plumped skin makes pores appear tighter and less visible.
• Early Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Plumps out lines caused by dehydration and improves skin elasticity.
• Pigmentation & Uneven Tone: Well-hydrated, nourished skin supports healthier cell turnover, helping to create a more even complexion.
• Overall Skin Health: Provides deep, long-lasting moisture and essential nutrients that topical creams cannot achieve.

With comprehensively improved skin health, you’ll find your makeup applies more smoothly and blends flawlessly, often allowing you to wear far less with confidence.

Treatment Plan:
For optimal and long-lasting results, an initial course of 2-3 sessions is typically recommended, spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. This builds a strong foundation of hydration and collagen stimulation. After this, a maintenance treatment is advised every 6-12 months to preserve the incredible results.

Longevity:

Results develop over 2-3 weeks as collagen production increases. The effects of a full treatment course can last 6-12 months, depending on your skin’s metabolism and lifestyle factors. As the product gradually breaks down, your skin will gently return to its pre-treatment state. 

Downtime: 2- 5 days

Skin boosters have been a cornerstone of aesthetic “bio-revitalization” in Europe and Asia for over a decade and have rapidly grown in popularity worldwide due to their natural, preventative, and comprehensive results. They are celebrated for delivering a refined, healthy-looking complexion.
