Muscle Relaxing Injections and
Injections Against Lines and Wrinkles
Our clinic uses several types of different dermal fillers - temporary, semi-permanent and permanent in order to reduce facial wrinkles, eliminate skin imperfections and correct volume loss.
We also use muscle relaxing injections to create balance and harmony in the facial muscles.
Muscle Relaxing Injections
This type of cosmetic injection relaxes facial muscles and erases or softens facial lines creating a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. The filler also prevents and slows down further line formation and has a lifting effect. Principally, this filler is used to prevent frowning. When injected into the muscles around the eyebrow it has a lifting effect on the eyebrow or an opening eye effect when injected in the area around the eyes.
The relaxing effect is not instantaneous. It starts after 2 -3 days and increases over about a week. The effect usually lasts about 3 to 8 months and the duration of effectiveness increases with subsequent treatments.
This procedure is a simple and quick, minimally invasive non-surgical treatment that delivers dramatic results.
Sweat Reducing Treatments
Muscle relaxing injections can also be used to treat excessive underarm sweating that is not adequately managed with topical agents. Injections target the specific glands in the underarms responsible for excessive sweating by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. This treatment can help the patient for up to 8 months.
Anti Wrinkle Injections:
We use several types of anti-wrinkle injections which offer patients superior cosmetic treatment options. Our injectable products range from temporary, semi-permanent to permanent fillers to treat various appearance concerns in men and women.
1. Temporary Fillers
There are tree types of temporary fillers. They are all crystal clear gels, a substance that occurs naturally in our body. The filler holds water, hydrates and gives volume to the skin and induces collagen growth. The result is instantaneous and lasts up to 9 - 12 months or even longer. Due to differences in composition, each filler is designed and most effective for certain types of cosmetic corrections. These fillers are injected into the skin with a fine needle, and anaesthetic cream is usually applied prior to treatment. The fillers provide a natural and rejuvenated appearance by "filling in " or "plumping up" facial wrinkles and folds, or when injected into the lips provide natural looking fullness and lip definition.
Temporary fillers are commonly used for:
- Lips enhancement
- Facial contours enhancement
- Fine, moderate and deep wrinkle treatment
- Cheek and chin augmentation
- Nasolabial folds
- Treatment of scars including acne scars
- Other facial, neck and hands correction
2. Semi-Permanent Fillers
There are two types of semi permanent fillers used in our clinic for facial soft tissue augmentation and contouring. One filler produces an instantaneous result while the other provides a more gradual result.
a) Calcium Based Filler
Calcium based filler is dense and of a cream-like texture substance that provides immediate visible improvements. This filler gives long lasting results up to 2 years. Individual results may vary, affected by age, skin type, lifestyle and muscle activity. This high density filler supports natural collagen integration and stimulates new collagen production. What is particularly remarkable is that a relatively small amount and usually one application of filler provides a superior level of contouring finesse giving excellent overall correction.
The filler provides an aesthetic solution for a range of common concerns such as:
- Moderate to deep wrinkles
- Furrows and scars
- Cheek/chin augmentations
- Nose reshaping or augmentation
- Adds volume to facial depressions or imperfections
- Hands rejuvenation
b) Skin Smoothing/Diffuse Volume Augmentation Product With Gradual Results
This type of semi-permanent product is a synthetic, non-animal product that contains skin smoothing micro particles to help restore lost facial volume, and lifts and smoothes sagging skin. The filler works by stimulating your own collagen production to replenish your skin and restore what has been lost due to the ageing process. It also significantly improves overall skin quality and texture. Usually 2 or 3 treatments are required a month apart and results last up to 3 years. Natural looking effects should become more noticeable after six weeks of the initial treatment.
This product is ideal for:
- Replacing lost volume caused by ageing
- Deep folds and wrinkles
- Scars
- Volume defects
- Facial contour enhancements
- Improves skin appearance
- Improves skin freshness and smoothes skin texture
- Hand rejuvenation
c) Permanent Filler
Permanent filler is a non-absorbable, long lasting product in the form of gel designed for immediate, precise and lasting cosmetic enhancement and reconstruction of facial and body tissue. This filler adds volume under the skin to restore contours of the face and body. Scientific research has shown that this filler will stay in place unchanged for at least ten years. Progressive ageing of the skin does continue and if required, extra permanent filler can be injected. The results obtained are immediate and the effect is clearly linked to the volume injected. It can be used for:
- Lips enhancement
- Cheek & chin augmentation
- Nose correction & reshaping
- Facial contours enhancement
- Remove or reduce deep wrinkles around lips, nose and between eyebrows
- Reduce prominence of scars
- Other types of facial corrections
- Make aesthetic reconstructive augmentation on the body due to congenital, post surgical or traumatic tissue depletion
- Smoothes dimples after liposuction
Lip Enhancement Treatment:
At River City Cosmetic Medicine Clinic we use several dermal fillers for lip enhancement. There is a choice of temporary or permanent dermal fillers especially designed for lip enhancement treatment. The dermal fillers have remarkable elasticity, integrate smoothly into the skin and create soft, full and natural looking lips. This lip enhancement treatment can achieve the following outcomes:
- Adding/restoring lips volume
- Creating lips fullness
- Enhancing lips contour and definition
- Lips line refreshment
- Lips rejuvenation
Face Lift "In Syringe":
An individually customised combination of fillers and muscle relaxing injections produce an immediately visible, lasting face lifting effect without down-time. It also creates facial fullness and rebalances facial features.
