BOTOX is a natural, purified protein that relaxes wrinkle causing muscles creating an improved appearance. This treatment relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and helps keep them relaxed for up to four months. BOTOX is injected into selected facial muscles using a very fine needle. Discomfort is minimal and brief and no anaesthetic is usually required. After injection it takes 2 to 3 days for BOTOX to begin taking effect. In the amounts used for the treatment of frown lines, the side effects are usually temporary and localised to the area of injection.
RESTYLANE is a transparent gel containing non-animal stabilised hyaluronic acid which is a natural compound. As you age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in your skin decreases, resulting in drier skin and increased wrinkles. When injected into your skin, RESTYLANE lift's fine lines and wrinkles. In general follow up treatment is needed after 6 to 12 months.
Side effects are usually injection related and transient such as swelling, redness, pain, discolouration and tenderness at the implant site. These typically resolve within 48 hours after injection.
