Botox & Fillers

What is Botox®?

Botox® or Botulinism Toxin, is derived from the toxin of a bacteria (Bacterium Clostridium Botulinum).

Botox has also been used medically to treat squinting eyes since 1980, as well as spasticity, migraines, club feet and is being researched currently in a number of other uses. When used to treat wrinkles, Botulinum toxin blocks communication between the nerve plate and the target muscles temporarily.

What are fillers?

Fillers are injectable volumizers, in other words, we use fillers to fill in what the years are taking away. A youthful face is usually smooth on the surface and as we age, we lose volume and depth of tissues. This is especially evident around the eye and between the nose and mouth corners, also known as the nasolabial folds. These lines and recessions are usually visible whether the face is relaxed or moving.

Fillers can consist of hyaluronic acid otherwise referred to as hyaluronan which naturally occurs in our bodies in our cartilage, skin and eyes. Collagen and own fat transplants can also serve as 'fillers'. In the clinic I use the hyaluronic acid formulations.
