WHERE ART MEETS SCIENCE
The Real Artistry of Botox
When we talk about Botox we can often conjure up visions of people looking unnaturally frozen, with extreme eyebrows and shiny wax like faces. There is no doubt that many Aestheticians go overboard. However, with advanced skills, Botox really can be an art form and a fantastic preventative treatment for ageing.
Injection techniques have been fine tuned for natural looking results for both men and women. Botox can grant you eternal youth and it’s no longer at the price of not being able to move your face. Being an expert injector is both a science and an art. You must know the anatomy of the face and understand how all the muscles work. A misplaced injection can cause a droopy eyelid or a wonky smile. However, both done well, can eliminate frown lines and deep forehead wrinkles without erasing your facial expressions.
The key to Botox is to look more awake, fresher, natural and like you’ve not had Botox at all, but people will think you’re looking exceptionally well and younger. In addition to that we can also use Botox to enhance.
WHERE ART MEETS SCIENCE
COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT BOTOX
WHEN SHOULD I START HAVING BOTOX?
When you smile or frown, the lines develop during the expression but generally go away when the face relaxes.
When the lines begin to stay around when your face is at rest is when you should start having Botox. If we start Botox in our mid - late 20s or 30s it can be a preventative measure to avoid getting fine lines and ingrained wrinkles.
However, it works well on people of all ages.
WHICH AREAS OF MY FACE CAN BE TREATED?
The most common dynamic wrinkles that Botox treats are the lines on the upper face such as the frown lines, horizontal lines on the forehead and the crow’s feet around the eyes. We are often told that Botox is only to treat the upper face, but this is not true. As long as someone is knowledgeable and experienced it can be used in the lower face too with amazing results. It is possible to treat hooded eyes with a Botox brow lift, nose wrinkles & droops, fix downturned or gummy smiles,
slim the face by treating the jaw and even enhance and define lip shape.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTOX AND FILLERS?
Botox contains a purified bacteria that freezes muscles to minimise the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions.
Fillers add fullness / volume or structure to the areas of the face.
WHAT IS BABY BOTOX?
This is just another name for very natural Botox involving smaller amounts. I often use this on clients who are actors or models and need a full range of expression.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO SPARKLE THIS CHRISTMAS
12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GLOW
At this time of year when everyone is so busy organising presents, preparations and work nights out, it can be hard to make time for yourself. Lack of sleep, temperature fluctuations, excess wine, festive food and cold weather can leave us feeling less than glowy and massively impact our face and bodies. Make sure you are looking radiant this Christmas with our ‘12 days of Christmas’ glow treatments and tips.
ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Treat yourself to the gift of perfect skin. Profhilo is my personal favourite treatment.
It’s a wonderful skin booster that encourages our own natural collagen production. It tightens the skin and smooths lines whilst hydrating from within. It’s natural looking and doesn’t change your facial structure so it’s suitable for both men and women.
I call it an injectable flawless filter so it’s perfect for getting family photo ready in these cold winter months. Book in with us online for this amazing treatment.
ON THE SECOND DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Stay hydrated. Since alcohol is a diuretic it’s crucial that you’re properly hydrating your body and skin if you are drinking more over the festive period. Dehydrated skin
will look dry and flaky with more visible wrinkles and dark circles. Water will also help rid the body of toxins.
ON THE THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Whether you would like a fuller pout or natural and hydrated with less lines, book in with us for luscious kissable lips and be mistletoe ready.
ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Wear a good SPF every day!
Even when it’s cloudy wearing sunscreen in winter is a crucial part of maintaining your skin health. A good SPF cream or foundation also protects against blue light damage. HEV light is also admitted by phones, televisions (whilst watching Christmas films) and computer screens. I love La Mer radiant skin tint SPF 30.
ON THE FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Winter Is the perfect time to have body treatments too. Treatments such as fat dissolving and skin tightening body threads are best done in the winter in case of mild bruising or redness which can last up to a week.
ON THE SIXTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Book in with our EQlibrium skin expert for radiant skin with our derma-planning facial. A relaxing deep cleansing facial that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair. The skin is de-clogged, cleansed and radiant. This helps the absorption of your skincare products and enables the flawless application of make-up products.
ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Choose nutrient rich foods and snack sensibly on foods that contain Vitamin C help to protect the skin and support the production of collagen. Vitamin C is an antioxidant too. Leafy greens including brussel sprouts are rich in Vitamin C.
Vitamin E is another essential for healthy skin, protecting it from cell damage whilst promoting new healthy cells. Snack on nuts and seeds that are high in Vitamin E.
ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Rest - Make time for beauty sleep. Your skin repairs or generates in a deep sleep, so when the party season comes in and you have lots of late nights, your skin won’t have the time to rejuvenate itself naturally. In addition, take some ‘me’ time to unwind and be pampered.
ON THE NINTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Don’t neglect to cleanse the skin before going to bed. Late nights and festive fun can mean that we really neglect our skincare routine when we need it most. It is never good to go to sleep with a full face of make-up.
ON THE 10TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Detox your beauty and make-up cabinet and throw anything away that is out of date, old or could be harvesting bacteria. Skincare and beauty products do have a shelf life. If you haven’t used it in a year after opening it, it is probably ready for the bin.
ON THE 11TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Go barefaced. My clients very rarely wear much makeup unless it’s a special occasion. After treatment and when following a good skincare regime, they are more confident in their own skin and glowing. It’s also healthy to allow our skin to breathe as often as is possible. Ditch the make-up and show off your naturally glowing skin.
ON THE 12TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Book a consultation to find out about our treatments. From our skin specialist treatments, dermal filler facial contouring and balancing package to our PDO facelifts and transformations, we are on hand to answer any questions.
STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
