Appearance medicine options
There are many ways to look younger through appearance medicine, with each procedure varying in cost, time, and complexity.
Botox and Dysport injections
Botox and Dysport injections are safe, simple treatments which fight wrinkles and smooth out your skin – all without the need for surgery.
They work by injecting facial muscles, which relaxes them so they do not contract, and without contracting, they can’t form wrinkles.
The effects of Botox and Dysport injections work quickly - usually in a couple of days, with the lines and wrinkles in the treated area softening, lasting for approximately 4 months.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer an alternative solution to a surgical facelift. They add volume to the skin and counteract the effects of aging by smoothing out deep lines and wrinkles.
Literally filler that is injected under your skin, they fill the soft tissue underneath, plumping up the tissue from behind.
This “pushes out” the wrinkles which have formed, giving a more youthful appearance.
Depending on the area treated, the filler used, and the person receiving the injections, results can last anywhere from six months to eighteen months.

Thread Lifts
A thread lift is an innovative facial rejuvenation procedure designed to achieve facial refreshment and improve skin quality without having to undergo surgery and the problem of scarring.
The threads are placed carefully under the skin in predetermined areas. Here they support, lift and enhance the natural facial contours.
They do this by using clever technology in the form of gentle small barbs or cogs that cling to the soft facial tissues just like ‘velcro’, becoming a supportive structure – almost like scaffolding your skin can form itself around.
There is no significant cutting of the skin as happens in a conventional facelift, and results are seen within a few weeks and can last for a few years.

Laser Treatments
Modern laser treatments such as IPL and Fraxel can rejuvenate the skin right down to the cellular level.
IPL treatment is the use of intense pulses of light at certain wavelengths to break down cells, allowing them to be reabsorbed by the body.
This gives the skin a renewed and more youthful appearance. The procedure is generally harmless and totally non-intrusive.
Fraxel is a revolutionary laser treatment for acne, surgical scarring, sun or age spots and hyperpigmentation.
Laser treatment also is extremely effective at treating superficial veins – from tiny spider veins right through to massive varicose veins.
It can give smoother, fresher looking skin, improved tone and texture, reduced wrinkles around the eyes and improved appearance of acne scars and surgical scars.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma works by direct injection of plasma into the skin. This helps accelerate the process of tissue regeneration and repair.
This treatment is excellent for delicate areas that are otherwise difficult to treat, i.e. entire eye area, neck and décolletage and backs of hands.
