What is the difference between Botox and Dermal Filler?
Botox and Dermal Filler are two different products that are used for two quite different purposes. Botox is a muscle relaxant that is used to decrease the movement of specific muscles in the face, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and avoiding more forming. Dermal Filler is used to fill areas of the face, such as lips, cheek bones and under the eyes to plump the skin, resulting in youthful and healthy-looking skin.
Our doctor uses topical anaesthetic to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different; however, we check in with our clients throughout the treatment, and offer a wide range of pain reduction options.
Do I need to be on good quality skin care if I am having cosmetic injectables done?
We recommend all our clients invest in good skincare for their home regimes as it is going to help with their overall skin health, as well as ensuring they achieve their desired results with their cosmetic injectable treatments.
How much down/healing time is needed?
Generally, there is no healing time from cosmetic injectables, however, as is true with any injection that is performed, clients may experience some bruising in the area that has been injected. This is completely normal and differs from person to person. If clients do experience bruising after a cosmetic injectable treatment, we recommend having LED light therapy to assist in the healing process.
Bruising is completely normal. Some people experience bruising and others do not. LED light therapy can assist with the healing process after cosmetic injectables and will speed up recovery if bruising is present.
How much do cosmetic injectables cost?
We are unable to quote for cosmetic injectables without a consult performed by our Doctor. The reason for this is that every face is different, and products may need to be layered to achieve the desired result.
