ARE TREATMENTS OVERSEEN BY A MEDICAL DOCTOR?
Yes, as a medical requirement, treatments at BLOOMSKIN are overseen by our medical doctor who is a member of NZSCM.
PAYMENTS?
Payments can be made by Eftpos or credit card.
Does it hurt?
Most patients find their Botox® and Xeomin® treatments almost pain free, others experience a brief ‘sting’, but as we use needles used by plastic-surgeons, these are very fine and designed for optimal comfort. Dermal filler and Profhilo® can be slightly more sensitive in certain areas. However, we use a topical numbing cream to make you more comfortable. There is also an anaesthetic in our dermal fillers, so you will continue to numb up as we inject.
How do I make an appointment?
The quickest and easiest way to make an appointment is via our online booking system. This enables you to see all of our availability and find a suitable time for you. From here you can also add yourself to our online waitlist. Simply click the book now tab.
Alternatively email [email protected] or text 021 02102156
Should I have a consultation before treatment?
Yes, all patients require a consultation before going ahead with treatment. However, this is done at your first appointment before treatment, so you do not need to make two appointments. You will be required to answer questions and have an assessment and sign a consent form. Unlike many other places, in accordance with our medical protocols, we require consent prior to each treatment
Can I get injectables whilst pregnant or breastfeeding?
Unfortunately, no, this is an area that hasn’t been fully researched, therefore the safety of your baby is priority. As Botox® and Xeomin® take two weeks for it to completely process to full strength, you are also unable to ‘pump and dump’, and would need to stop feeding entirely.
Can my treatments be reversed?
Filler can be dissolved using a product called Hyalase. We sometimes use this if filler has been overused or mis-placed at another treatment provider, enabling starting with a ‘fresh canvas’. Anti-wrinkle treatments and Profhilo® cannot be reversed.
CAN I RETURN TO WORK AFTER MY TREATMENT?
Yes, certainly! Some treatments result in redness or swelling to the site, occasionally people experience mild bruising. Ice packs are applied to minimise these risks.
WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?
Dermal fillers are hydrating treatments used to can contour and create volume, fill out lines and wrinkles, and revitalise the skin. Those used at BLOOMSKIN are chosen for their quality, are
temporary and dissolvable, and made up of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a substance that naturally exists in your body. Results are visible immediately and can last for around 9 – 18 months.
COMMON AREAS TREATED WITH DERMAL FILLERS?
• Nose to mouth lines (the nasolabial folds)
• Corners of the mouth (marionette lines)
• Lip augmentation
• Cheek Augmentation
• Jawline
• Chin
• Decolletage
• Ear Lobes
IS THERE ANY DOWN TIME AFTER FILLER TREATMENT?
Dermal filler products will naturally metabolise over time, without harm. An optimal and long-lasting result may require a top-up treatment, but this will be discussed with you at the time. Some reactions may occur slight redness, swelling, itching, bruising, discomfort and tenderness. The reactions are generally mild to moderate and usually disappear shortly after injection. They typically resolve spontaneously within one or two days, but for some treatments they may last longer.
CAN EVERYBODY USE DERMAL FILLERS?
Yes, apart from those previously allergic to hyaluron, pregnant or breastfeeding, with permanent fillers of facial implants, unwell with a cold, sinusitis or a facial infection, prior keloid scarring, less than a month after deep skin resurfacing, planned dental treatment in a month or flying overseas (in or under 4 days). Caution is needed in those with auto-immune disorders.
WHAT ARE THE NEUROMODULATORS, BOTOX® AND XEOMIN®?
Botox® and Xeomin® injections are a natural, purified protein that relaxes wrinkle-causing muscles, creating a smoothed and improved appearance. Botulinum Type A Neurotoxin Botox® and Xeomin® is produced by the bacterium Clostridium. Botulinum and has an interesting history, being used in humans for the treatment of strabismus (“crossed-eyes”) in 1978. These days, Botox® and Xeomin® is used to treat a variety of medical conditions such as migraine, excessive sweating, cerebral palsy, back and facial spasms as well as the treatment of facial wrinkles. Wrinkle relaxing injections using Botox® and Xeomin® is a well-studied treatment with an established safety profile and is a natural, purified protein derived in a controlled fashion from bacteria, such as penicillin.
Botox® and Xeomin® and similar neuromodulators are the only medical products of their type with more than twenty years of usage involving millions of patients worldwide, comprehensive clinical trials, published studies and extensive clinical practice.
Botox® and Xeomin®are among one the most widely researched medicines in the world, approved for use in over 75 countries.
Wrinkle relaxing injections using these neuromodulators are simple, quick and minimally invasive treatments that deliver fast, visible results.
HOW DO BOTOX® AND XEOMIN® WORK?
Botulinum (Botox® and Xeomin®) work by blocking the impulses from the nerves that control muscle movement. When injected into muscle tissue, muscles relax usually after several days, meaning the muscles are unable to contract or bunch up. In turn, a smooth rejuvenated appearance of the skin occurs; this can last from three to five months which is generally dependent on which muscles have been injected and their frequency of use.
WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE BOTOX® AND XEOMIN®?
• Patients with neuromuscular disorders such as myesthenia
gravis should not be treated with Botulinum.
• True allergic reactions to Botulinum have not been observed.
• Pregnant or nursing women.
IS THERE DOWNTIME AFTER TREATMENT WITH BOTOX® AND XEOMIN®?
Usually not. Immediately after treatment you may notice slight pinkness to the skin where the needle has been introduced. This may last ten minutes and quickly disperses.
