TREATMENTS | ANATOMICA

Anti-wrinkle injections are made from a muscle-relaxing agent called Botulinum Toxin A and are used to smooth out lines and wrinkles around areas such as the eyes, forehead and furrows between the eyebrows.

Anti-wrinkle injections are suitable for almost anyone who has dynamic wrinkles or fine lines from facial expressions. These lines occur from repetitive movement such as smiling, squinting and frowning.

The amount injected is exceptionally small, therefore the safety profile is very high. The results obtained from a single treatment usually last on average 3-4 months. Baby Botox lasts around 2 months.

Dermal fillers achieve lift and shape by enhancing areas such as the cheekbones, nose, marionette lines, nasolabial folds and chin, making them more prominent, pronounced and perfectly shaped.

Dermal fillers deliver immediate results (with up to 2 weeks full recovery). A medically developed semi-permanent solution called Hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance found in the body, is injected into the area to enhance the shape.

Full cheekbones and a sharp chin are a sign of youth, but as we age our supportive fat, elastin and collagen depletes, causing sagging and droop. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle. Weight loss in the face can also contribute to a lack of definition.

Lip fillers are the ideal way to add extra volume which may be lacking in elasticity, volume or shape. The treatment delivers almost immediate results (with up to 2 weeks full recovery).

A medically developed semi-permanent solution called Hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance found in the body, is injected into the lips to enhance their natural shape and plumpness. It has been purposely designed to make sure that you will have a natural look whether you are laughing or smiling.

The product lasts between 6-12 months.

A lip flip is a quick procedure that uses small doses of Botox to temporarily relax the orbicularis iris muscle of the top lip creating a fuller, more define appearance. This is ideal for those wanting a more subtle appearance than filler.

This usually lasts around 2 months.

A skin booster is a bio-stimulating, Hyaluronic Acid injectable that aims to improve hydration levels within the skin. It also works to simultaneously stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin.

As we age, we lose approximately 1% of our Hyaluronic Acid stores per year after the age of 30, resulting in fine lines and loss of facial volume. Skin boosters treat this physiological depletion within the skin via the infiltration of Hyaluronic Acid back into the dermis.

This skin booster acts as the perfect skin rejuvenation treatment to improve skin texture and skin laxity whilst adding gentle volume.

Initially, two or three treatments are recommended four weeks apart to achieve the desired result, depending on initial skin quality. Treatments should then be topped up every 6-12 months.

With this treatment, the downtime is minimal. As with any injectable treatments, a small amount of bruising may appear, however, this should subside within a few days. Small, localised bumps may appear at the injection points. These will start to diffuse within 4-6 hours and full results are seen around 2 weeks after treatment.

Skin boosters are not classed as a dermal filler as it is not cross-linked meaning the Hyaluronic Acid spreads evenly under the skin.

Vitamins injected are absorbed better by the body than vitamin supplements taken orally. An injected dose will be fully absorbed by the body, whereas a supplement will only be partially absorbed.

Fat dissolving injections break down fat in a controlled way, so your body can safely remove it through its lymphatic system. This simple and effective procedure shrinks double chins, the stomach and various other areas as well as improving the definition. The treatment contracts the skin in order to achieve a more streamlined, youthful appearance.

Fat dissolving typically requires a course of TWO to FOUR treatments (smaller areas) with one week between sessions for Lemon Bottle. This time frame is variable from person to person.

Although the procedure doesn’t hurt, you should expect some swelling, itching and oedema which can take anywhere from 3-14 days to subside, although these side effects are rare.

Although the fat doesn’t come back, fat dissolving should only be used as a supplement to a healthy lifestyle, and is only intended for dealing with small pockets of fat rather than for providing a complete weight loss solution.

Unlike liposuction, fat dissolving normally leads to a degree of skin contraction too, so you’re less likely to end up with loose skin around the areas which have been treated.

Micro-Needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy is an advanced non-surgical cosmetic procedure which involves triggering the body’s wound healing response. It is effective in treating a wide variety of skin concerns including acne scarring, large pores, fine lines and wrinkles, sagging ageing skin. It can also be used for reversing skin pigmentation and treating sun damage.

The skin is cleansed and then a serum is applied to the face. The Micro-Needling device (DermaPen) is then passed over the face, inserting tiny, sterile needles into the skin. This leaves tiny puncture wounds which stimulate the body to repair the skin cells in that area and encouraging the production of collagen. A golden collagen mask is applied to the face for 10 minutes after the treatment.

Micro-Needling is most commonly used to treat the following skin conditions:

Dull skin:

Rejuvenates tired and dull skin and combats the initial signs of ageing.

Wrinkles:

Fine lines and wrinkles on the face can be visibly reduced, as collagen production is triggered.

Stretch Mark & Scarring:

Scars from acne and Chicken Pox can often be improved and an uneven texture can be smoothed out.

Pigmentation:

Can help to fade dark patches such as pigmentation due to sun damage or ageing.

Micro-Needling is a great treatment for you if you have darker skin as it doesn’t involve peels or lasers, which can cause pigmentation issues.

It is recommended to book every 4-6 weeks until desired effect is reached.
