'Botox' treatment can help improve the appearance of various facial areas, such as the forehead, eye area (crow's feet), frown lines between the eyebrows, and lip lines. It can also help with other conditions, such as excessive sweating, migraines, and jaw pain. 'Botox' treatment is a quick and minimally invasive procedure that requires no anaesthesia or recovery time. You can return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment.

Common side effects include bruising, swelling, and redness at the injection site. Rarely, patients may experience headaches, flu-like symptoms or droopy eyelids (if the Botox spreads to unintended areas).

'Botox' treatment works by blocking the nerve signals that cause the facial muscles to contract. This relaxes the muscles and smooths out the wrinkles and lines in the treated area. The effects of 'botox' treatment usually last for 3 to 4 months.

Like any medical procedure, 'botox' can have side effects. The most common side effects are temporary and may include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site.

Before your ‘botox’ treatment, you should consult with your provider and discuss your medical history, allergies, medications, and expectations. You should also avoid alcohol, blood thinners, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements for at least a week before the treatment to reduce the risk of bleeding and bruising. You should also keep your skin clean and moisturized on the day of the treatment.

After your ‘botox’ treatment, you should avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent spreading the toxin to other muscles. You should also avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure, and alcohol for at least a day after the treatment to prevent swelling and inflammation. You should also protect your skin from sun damage and use gentle and hydrating skincare products to enhance your results.

The main difference between these brands is their formulation. Each brand has a slightly different formulation of the active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, as well as different accessory proteins and manufacturing processes. These differences can affect how the product spreads and how long it lasts. However, all of these brands are effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines when used correctly. It’s important to note that the effectiveness of a neurotoxin injectable can vary depending on the individual and the area being treated.

The cost varies depending on the number of units needed, but typically ranges from $300 to $600 per treatment area.

The procedure usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. A fine needle is used to inject the botulinum toxin into specific muscles.

It’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment to prevent the toxin from spreading to unintended areas.

Most patients get treatments every 3 to 4 months to maintain results.

Dermal needling, also known as micro-needling, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, which includes the production of new collagen and elastin.

Dermal needling/ micro-needling can be used to treat various areas of the face and body, including the forehead, cheeks, chin, neck, and décolletage. It can also be used to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and other skin imperfections.

The results of dermal needling/micro-needling can vary depending on the individual and the area being treated. Some people may see an improvement in their skin after just one treatment, while others may require multiple treatments to achieve their desired results. It’s important to discuss your expectations with your skincare specialist before undergoing treatment.

The frequency of dermal needling treatments can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. In general, it is recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks between treatments to allow the skin to heal and regenerate.

Dermal needling/ micro-needling, involves the use of tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. The sensation of the needles can vary depending on the individual’s pain tolerance and the area being treated. Some people may find the procedure to be uncomfortable, while others may experience little to no discomfort. To minimize discomfort, a topical anesthetic cream can be applied to the skin prior to the treatment.

After a dermal needling treatment, it is generally recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours to allow the skin to heal and recover. This is because the micro-injuries created by the needles can make the skin more susceptible to irritation and infection. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your skincare specialist to ensure the best possible results from your treatment.

Like any medical procedure, dermal needling can have side effects. The most common side effects are temporary and may include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the treatment site. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as infection or scarring can occur.

Dermal needling/ micro-needling can improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, large pores, and overall skin texture.

Typically, a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

Downtime is minimal, with most patients experiencing redness and mild swelling for 1 to 2 days.

The cost varies depending on the area treated, serum and other products such as growth factor used but typically ranges from $275 to $350 per session.

Results can be seen within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months as collagen production increases.

The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. During the treatment, a device equipped with fine needles is used to create tiny punctures, or micro-injuries, in the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound healing processes, which include the production of collagen and elastin. This results in improved skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to minimize any discomfort, making the procedure relatively painless. Additionally, serums or growth factors are applied during or immediately after the dermal needling/ micro-needling session, depending on your skin’s specific needs.

MINT Smooth Mono Threads are a type of absorbable thread made from polydioxanone (PDO) that is used in non-surgical facelift procedures. The threads are inserted into the skin to lift and tighten sagging skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin texture and elasticity.

MINT Smooth Mono Threads work by creating a scaffolding-like structure under the skin to support and lift sagging tissue. The threads also stimulate the body’s natural healing response, which includes the production of new collagen and elastin. This helps to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of ageing.

MINT Smooth Mono Threads can be used to treat various areas of the face and neck, including the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck. They can also be used to improve the appearance of sagging skin on the body, such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs.

The results of MINT Smooth Mono Threads can vary depending on the individual and the area being treated. In general, the threads are absorbed by the body over a period of 6-8 months, after which the treatment can be repeated as needed. The collagen-stimulating effects of the threads can last for up to 2 years.

PDO smooth mono threads can help improve the appearance and texture of the skin by smoothing, firming, and toning it. They can also reduce the size of pores and improve the absorption of skincare products.

PDO smooth mono threads can be used on various parts of the face and body, such as the forehead, cheeks, chin, neck, décolletage, arms, abdomen, and thighs.

The results from PDO smooth mono threads depend on several factors, such as the size and depth of the needles, the number and frequency of the sessions, the condition and type of the skin, and the post-procedure care. According to some sources, it can take 3 to 6 months to see the full results from PDO smooth mono threads, as the skin needs time to produce new collagen and elastin. However, some people may notice improvements sooner, especially if they have mild skin concerns or use shorter needles.

Most people need multiple sessions, usually about 4 to 8 weeks apart, to achieve their desired outcome. Afterward, they may need maintenance treatments once a year or as recommended by their provider.

Like any medical procedure, MINT Smooth Mono Threads can have side effects. The most common side effects are temporary and may include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the treatment site. In rare cases, infection can occur.
