Relax dynamic muscles and reduce unwanted lines associated with ageing.\u00a0 Botulinum toxin treatments provide a more youthful and relaxed appearance.<\/p>

Younger more plump skin is not only able to withstand the mechanical stresses of high movement areas but is also able to heal itself faster from the micro-trauma that occurs with repetitive movements.<\/p>

Accelerated ageing of skin can occur depending on underlying genetics, environmental exposures such as UV, and social habits like smoking.\u00a0 Thinner skin depleted of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), collagen, and elastin, is less able to withstand various ageing insults as well as having a depleted capacity to heal.\u00a0 Essentially this leads to a loss of smooth skin movement with the muscles of facial expression and leads to the formation of static lines present at rest.<\/p>

Botulinum toxin treatments decrease movements softening static lines by allowing healing to catch up to the rate of damage.\u00a0 They also provide for skin that is radiant and glowing, easing pore size and acne through reducing overactive oil glands.<\/p>

Identification and treatment of underlying deficiency in hyaluronic acid\/collagen\/elastin will magnify your desired results as your skin health journey is holistically approached.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\n\t\t\t\tDr Lahey\u2019s approach to botulinum toxin injections \t<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<\/h5>\n

Dr. Lahey provides individualized bespoke treatments.\u00a0 Only the leading state of the art materials are used for a seamless experience with little to no down time.\u00a0 Each treatment is individualized around the patient\u2019s concerns and their desired results.\u00a0<\/p>

Dr. Lahey is passionate about educating his patients about their skin healthcare needs so as to provide them with outcomes that surpass their expectations by assessing the skin in its entirety.<\/p>

Each injection is marked and planned to give the perfect balance of smooth glowing skin whilst maintaining a natural look.<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\n\t\t\t\tHow are botulinum injections performed? \t<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<\/h5>\n

After a detailed consultation, the skin is cleaned and numbing agent is applied.\u00a0 The most-fine needles and materials are used to minimize any discomfort and potential down time.\u00a0 The perfect treatment is pain-free, desired outcomes are exceeded and there is little to no sign of a treatment having occurred.<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\n\t\t\t\tHow can botulinum toxin be used elsewhere in the face? \t<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<\/h5>\n

Bruxism (teeth grinding) is a common problem which leads to damaging of teeth, jaw ache, head and neck pain.\u00a0 Mouth guards only protect the teeth but are cumbersome to use and don\u2019t prevent all the symptoms. Precise injection of the Masseter muscles alleviate the symptoms experienced by so many patients especially during times of stress.<\/p>

Botulinum toxin can be an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of excess neck skin for better jaw line definition as well as reducing the appearance of wrinkles and horizontal bands at the corners of the mouth and neck.<\/p>

Microtox involves injecting small doses of botulinum toxin into the superficial layers of the skin, rather than into the muscles for anti-wrinkle therapy.\u00a0 For acne and general complexion, microtox helps by minimizing pore size, and decreasing inflammation, leading to a smoother, clearer complexion.<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\n\t\t\t\tHow long do results from botulinum toxin last? \t<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<\/h5>\n

Patients may start noticing relaxation of the treated area within a few days.\u00a0 The full effect of your treatment may take up to 2 weeks to take full effect.\u00a0 Achieving the perfect balance of a natural look without the formation of lines may require a top up at week 2 which is free.\u00a0<\/p>

Duration of results normally last between 3-4 months.\u00a0 Some factors such as excessive heat (sauna), high cardio exercise, smoking, excessive stress, may shorten the duration of treatment.\u00a0 This is a potential reason why some treatment durations don\u2019t last as long as expected at times.<\/p>

In general, using larger amounts of botulinum toxin will result in longer lasting effect.\u00a0 This is also achievable by using smaller dosages with regular treatments as the muscles continue to relax with subsequent treatments<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\n\t\t\t\tWhat do botulinum treatments cost?\t<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<\/h5>\n

The cost of the treatment is dependent on your personal requirements as well as the unique anatomy of your facial muscles.\u00a0 An estimate of the units required to achieve your desired balance of smooth skin and duration will be provided after your consultation and examination.\u00a0<\/p>

Amourage Skin Clinic is unable to provide you with an exact cost pre-treatment as it\u2019s Dr. Lahey\u2019s endeavor to provide an accurate estimate through professional consultation and examination vs cookie cutter templates.<\/p>

Patients may have a misinformed idea of what they require (units botulinum toxin) as their previous experiences have not been personalized to their needs and their overall skin condition has not been assessed professionally.<\/p>

Dr. Lahey strives to take every patient\u2019s needs to heart and provides professional advice unique to the patient\u2019s skin condition.\u00a0 Often a multi-modality approach with various treatments will provide for more affordable and successful outcomes through long term planning.<\/p>

Patient specific treatment plans assist in achieving desired outcomes while being efficient in terms of treatment costs.\u00a0 Assessing and treating for chronic dehydrated thin skin by addressing Hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin levels will enhance the health of your skin and magnify the results you gain from botulinum toxin treatments.\u00a0<\/p>

Botulinum toxin therapy forms only part of universally desirable smooth and radiant skin.\u00a0 Routine botulinum toxin therapy is only treating the symptoms of ageing skin but not addressing the underlying cause.<\/p>

Facial muscles have an increase use during the summer months, yearly plans can be designed to optimize the benefits of your relax treatment around these periods and to focus other treatments during the winter months.<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t
