Dermal Fillers & Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins Injections and Dermal Fillers
Neurotoxin injections and dermal fillers are beauty-enhancing procedures that involve a less-invasive approach to attaining favorable results. The primary goal of these treatments is to achieve a natural-looking and youthful appearance through lessening wrinkle lines and enhancing facial structure. Skin sagginess is a natural part of the aging process. As the skin produces lesser collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin, the facial fat becomes thin and loses structure. With such thinness, wrinkles also become more visible on the outside. To address such issues, we offer neurotoxin injection and dermal fillers! If you plan on achieving optimum outcomes, you may ask our specialists to undergo both procedures together.
Neurotoxin Injections
Using a substance called Botulinum Toxin Type A, neurotoxin injections help relax line-forming and wrinkle-causing muscles. The average duration of this procedure lasts from 15-30 minutes, with results lasting from 3-4 months. Since these injections relax muscles, they can soften a person’s expressions to lessen the visibility of the unwanted lines of aging..
Dermal Fillers
Our professionals administer dermal fillers to our clients to promote the face’s plumpness. The main component of these fillers is hyaluronic acid, which is part of our body’s natural substances responsible for providing the skin with a plump, healthy appearance. By undergoing dermal-filler sessions, your skin will steadily regain the volume it needs to look youthful.
