Time to learn more about what treatments to choose to ensure you have fresh, youthful, luminous skin? If you’re a first-timer for cosmetic injectables, you might be wondering whether to book for fillers or the neurotoxins, Botox® and Xeomin®. These treatments are done at separate appointments, but don’t worry too much which you book for on the booking system, as generally the appointment time will allow to change from one to the other if Nicole decides you need fillers rather than Botox®, or vice versa. Botox® and Xeomin® are used to treat expression lines, those that we see when faces move. They effectively relax muscles to minimise wrinkles to your forehead, frown and crow’s feet. Fillers – and there are many to choose from for the specific areas of our faces and what the issue being treated is – “fill” deeper wrinkles and add volume to lips, cheeks, smile lines and marionette lines. In effect, they hydrate the areas that need rejuvenation with naturally occurring Hyaluronic Acid, when your face is at rest. Have a browse around the website to learn more about treating areas of concern. You might be amazed just what can be achieved…
