Anti-wrinkle treatment
WHAT IS ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENT?
‘Botox®️’ is the most common product used for anti-wrinkle treatments. When used preventatively – anti-wrinkle treatment can reduce/ prevent the formation of deeper lines and wrinkles or even eliminate them temporarily.
Anti-wrinkle treatments are not only used for cosmetic purposes – it can also be used to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When demonstrating facial expressions (smiling, laughing, frowning etc) dynamic wrinkles will naturally form. Once the face is at rest the dynamic wrinkles disappear as quickly as they form and will no longer be visible.
Static wrinkles, however, are the deeper lines that remain on the face when relaxed and tend to be deeper. They are a result of frequent use of the muscles over time and can make the face appear more aged. As we age the collogen production declines and the skin loses its elasticity. As a result of this – dynamic wrinkles over time become static wrinkles which remain visible when the face is at rest.
Anti-wrinkle treatment, when administered – prevents movement of the targeted muscles, therefore, if the dynamic wrinkles are treated as a preventative measure – the static lines/ wrinkles are unable to form. This is based on having no static wrinkles prior.
Dermal filler
WHAT IS DERMAL FILLER?
At Saint Cosmetics we use only high-quality dermal filler products formulated with the highest quality hyaluronic acid. Dermal filler is a light weight gel used in many aspects of aesthetics from to enhancing/ sculpting facial features to eliminating deeper lines/ wrinkles.
Dermal filler can be used to reduce the appearance of deeper lines/wrinkles if anti-wrinkle treatment is unsuitable.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The fat dissolving solution is injected into the subcutaneous fat deposit areas (stubborn body fat). The solution breaks down the fat cell membranes, destroying the fat cells turning the fat into into fatty acids and glycerol – which are then emptied through the lymphatic system into the liver and kidneys. The waste is then excreted naturally by the body. Therefore, It’s very important to drink plenty of water before and after treatment!
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
This varies as each client will respond differently to treatments. For best results: 2-6 sessions are advised 7-10 days apart. This depends on the size of the area being treated.
