We all age on a unique timeline and some of the signs of ageing can be delayed with a good lifestyle. We also offer a variety of anti ageing treatments that can reverse some of the effects.
Book an anti ageing treatment consultation in our London Knightsbridge Advanced Beauty and a doctor or nurse prescriber will assess your needs and prescribe the right anti-ageing injectables for you.
Anti-wrinkle injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are a non-surgical solution to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment uses a neuromodulator called botulinum toxin, which can relax the muscles that cause these lines and creases. Its a simple procedure that only takes a few minutes to complete. It is important to use an experienced cosmetic injector in order to avoid an overdone ‘frozen’ look.
Injecting botulinum toxin blocks the nerve’s signal to the muscle and acts like a block, stopping the muscle from contracting too much and creating these fine lines and wrinkles. The effects last about three to four months before the muscle returns to its pre-treatment state and these lines and wrinkles gradually reappear. Having regular treatments can prolong the results and slow down the return of these wrinkles.
PRP skin rejuvenation therapy can boost collagen and elastin production to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We also offer a revolutionary facelift treatment called Profhilo, which utilises high concentrations of natural Hyaluronic Acid to remodel the skin tissues for firmer, tighter and more youthful-looking skin.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are soft gel-like substances injected into the face to smooth lines and rejuvenate the skin. They are effective in a wide range of treatments including under eye dark circles, thinning lips and lifting cheekbones. Dermal fillers are typically formulated with hyaluronic acid that is naturally produced in the body. This helps to retain water in the skin, keeping it plump and moist.
Wrinkle fillers may last up to 24 months, but the longevity of the product depends on your individual rate of aging and the areas treated. Generally, fillers injected into more expressive areas tend to break down faster than those injected in static regions.
Most dermal fillers have a numbing agent and are very comfortable, but you can expect mild bruising, pain or swelling after the treatment. This usually resolves in a few days. Some people are allergic to dermal fillers, so a patch test is always recommended before the procedure. The test can be done at the same time as your pre-treatment consultation.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a treatment that lifts and tightens the skin without surgery. It uses focused ultrasound imaging to stimulate the growth of new collagen deep within the skin. This is what creates the lift you see. It is not a replacement for surgery, but many people find it helps them stay ahead of the game by treating problems as they develop.
It is often used to lift the brow or jowls on the lower face and it can also tighten loose neck skin to give you a non-surgical necklift. It is also a popular treatment for the chest, removing any lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
Before the treatment starts, photos are taken to track your progress and then the skin is cleaned before ultrasound gel is applied. The ultrasound probe is then placed over the marked areas and it emits bursts of energy. It is a very quick and comfortable treatment with no downtime.
IPL Photorejuvenation
IPL Photorejuvenation is a powerful cosmetic multi-tasker that can reverse multiple signs of aging. It can reduce sun spots, freckles and vascular lesions as well as even skin tone and texture. This treatment is also effective for reducing facial redness, broken capillaries and rosacea.
The IPL device emits a broad spectrum of light, which penetrates deep into the skin. This light causes collagen and blood vessels below the surface of your skin to constrict. Pigmented cells are broken down, resulting in a reduction of redness and freckles.
The treatment is comfortable, and there is usually no need for a topical anesthetic. It’s a safe, quick and non-invasive way to reverse the effects of years of unprotected sun exposure and other factors that give your age away. Three to six quick treatments, spaced one month apart, create beautiful results. The result is a more youthful complexion that looks radiant and healthy. It’s important to continue protecting your skin with strict sun protection after each session.
