Let’s face it, for many, January can be a challenging time and as the new year gets well underway, many of us might be feeling a bit exhausted after the Christmas festivities. A busy time such as Christmas, as well as the winter weather can leave us looking less than our best. Some of us might be looking to 2024 as a time for rejuvenation and revitalisation and may wonder how we can improve our facial appearance without drastic measures like cosmetic surgery. At KL Cosmetic Clinics in Doncaster, we specialise in non-surgical injectable treatments such as Botox® (anti-wrinkle injections) and dermal fillers, so that you can welcome 2024 with a renewed sense of self confidence and natural beauty.
What are injectable cosmetic treatments?
Injectables such as Botox® and dermal fillers can help in different ways, to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lift the facial tissues and help to augment facial features, without going under the knife. Injectables are a beautiful way to naturally enhance your face.
Botox® is actually a brand name for a substance called Botulinum Toxin Type A. It’s a neurotoxin (sounds scary but it really isn’t when it’s injected in to specific areas of the face, by a medical professional) and its action is to block the nerve signals to the facial muscles which cause wrinkles when we create expression. It takes about 10 minutes to administer Botox® and the results are usually seen within a few days. Botox® will smooth facial lines such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, Glabellar lines (those annoying lines that run vertical between our eyebrows) and wrinkles which form at the sides of our nose when we smile. Botox® also has other uses, such as treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), migraines and teeth grinding.
Dermal fillers have a range of uses, from filling static lines and deeper folds to reshaping facial features such as the nose and chin. They act as a support for the skin tissues and will physically augment them, as well as rehydrating the skin, due to the high concentration hyaluronic acid (HA) they contain. Results can be seen immediately but there can be some mild to significant swelling and bruising with this treatment. Therefore we advise to wait at least 2 weeks before seeing the final results from a dermal filler treatment.
Can anyone have Botox® and dermal fillers?
As a rule, anyone who is fit and healthy with no complex medical issues could benefit from injectable treatments for non-surgical facial enhancement. However, it’s really important to have a consultation, facial analysis and medical history check before undergoing any injectable treatment is very important. At KL Cosmetic Clinic, we are medically qualified and have a duty of care to all our patients, to ensure that any treatment they undergo, will be not only suitable for their requirements, but is safe to be administered.
If you are considering injectable treatments in 2024, Botox® and dermal fillers could be the solution, especially if invasive surgery is not for you. So why not book a no obligation consultation with us here at KL Cosmetic Clinics, to see if injectable treatments could be the answer you’re looking for!
