There was a time when permanent plastic surgeries for facial enhancement were the only option. Those who wanted to rejuvenate their facial features would opt for cheek implants, lips reconstruction, nose reconstruction, jawline reconstruction, and facelift. The latest trend is to age gracefully and correct age-related changes by non-surgical methods. The effects of age not only affect the outer layers but also affect the inner layers of the skin. Regular age-related facial changes are the texture becoming uneven, collagen depletion, hydration reduction, fat layer reduction, and muscle tone going down. So, all these changes cannot be fixed with a single treatment or a single cream.

At Neuderm clinics, we recommend the optimum use of different technologies to address your facial enhancement and anti-ageing needs. Anti-ageing botox fillers and threads are being used, but one should get them from trained and qualified professionals. 

Botulinum Toxin (Botox)

Due to sun exposure & facial muscle activity at a younger age, wrinkling and fine lines over the face are formed at a later age. In most people, these changes make them look tired, angry, or older than they are. Botulinum toxin is an effective and safe treatment for overcoming these changes and keeping your age-related facial changes to a minimum.

What is Botulinum Toxin?

Botulinum Toxin is a purified protein derivative. This protein relaxes the wrinkle-causing muscles on the face, creates a youthful appearance and smoothens the fine lines.

Shortly known as Botox, it can be used for:

• To remove wrinkles over the forehead, frown lines between eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes
• Reduces the broad jawline known as chin creasing
• Improves facial contour by lifting sagging jowls
• Removes the bunny Lines on the nose and along the downturned corners of the lips
• Improves the gummy smile and neckbands
• Helps to control symptoms of Hyperhidrosis, such as reducing excessive sweating on palms, soles & underarms

How long can I enjoy the results of Botox injections?

Immediately following the injections, swelling and redness will occur. But they will come down. In a few weeks, you will start enjoying smooth skin and reduced wrinkles. The effect of Botox lasts for 4-6 months or longer. The effects last on a case-to-case basis. It depends on the quantity of Botox injected and the site of injections. The condition of your skin before the injections also affects the lasting effect of Botox.

How safe are Botox Injections?

Botox is not new; it has been in use for the past 25 years. For a few hours, patients may experience mild pain or bruising at the injection site, which usually disappears.

Dermal filler injections

Who are the fillers for?

Dermal filler injections are the proper treatment for you:

• If you have naturally less volume at your cheekbones
• Small chin, thin lips or you have lost volume in these places due to the ageing process. 
• Non-surgical facelift
• Sunken or hollow cheeks
• Filling the tear trough
• Deep laugh lines, nasolabial folds
• Mental crease
• Non-surgical nose shaping
• To give a lift to wrinkled and aged-looking hands

What is dermal filler?

Hyaluronic acid dermal filler is a gel-like substance derived from natural sources that is later purified and made safe. It is US FDA-approved. Hyaluronic acid fillers give a non-surgical facelift for an instant desired result, which may last up to 1-2 years. They are administered into deeper layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue for the correction of facial lines and volume loss.

How is the dermal filler administered?

With an anaesthetic cream, the area is numbed. With an excellent needle, HA filler is gently injected into the skin in small amounts. The filler works by absorbing the water content of the tissue, increasing in size and lifting up the surrounding area. An added advantage is that the filler stimulates new collagen production. The patient sees an immediate, visible improvement in areas of volume loss, folds, and wrinkles and provides long-lasting and excellent results.

Is it safe to use fillers?

The discomfort that a patient experiences is typically mild irritation, swelling, discolouration, or tenderness at the injection site, which will resolve within one to two days. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is completely biocompatible and biodegradable with minimal or no risk of allergy. But always be mindful that you should get the procedure done by experienced and thoroughly trained professionals.

Thread lifts

A thread lift procedure is mainly done on the lower face to treat age-related changes. The main areas where threads are used are the midface, jowl and neck. A pre-threaded needle is inserted into the subdermal level of the facial skin under the influence of a numbing cream. These threads are made of polypropylene and have tiny barbs along the surface that act as cogs to grasp, lift and suspend the facial tissue undergoing treatment. After the successful placement of the threads, the needle is slowly withdrawn, leaving the thread at the site where the lifting effect is desired.

In about 3-4 months, these threads dissolve entirely on their own without leaving any residual material. Within this period, new collagen and fibrous tissue are formed around the thread and continue to hold up and tighten the skin tissue.

If the skin is only moderately sagging, then threads will give an instant improvement. The new collagen that is formed gradually creates a more obvious tightening and lifting effect. Wait for 2-3 months to see the best results. Once in 12-18 months, you may need maintenance treatment sessions.

If you wish to maintain a natural appearance of the face without undergoing expensive surgical procedures, then botox fillers and threads can help you. We have experienced and skilled specialists who will personally sit with you and analyse your skin and then present you with the best option that is suitable for you.
