Injectables

Botox®

Botox® helps reduce crows feet lines around the eyes, which many men and women feel ages them. It will also stop the lines between the eyebrows and over the brow caused by sun damage and the persistent use of the muscles in this area.

Injections are given, usually to the forehead frown area, which temporarily put the frown muscles to sleep for a period of three to four months.

Dr Alex Stedman is now offering advanced Botulinum toxin treatments.
The following are available:

  • Brow lift

Botulinum toxin is used to reduce and soften the dynamic lines of the face.

Brow Lift
The treatment enables and individualised brow line to be created – arched, flattened or splayed, to create a flattering lift.

Gummy Smile correction
Sometimes on smiling the upper lip can excessively retract revealing a large amount of gum. This can be reduced with this treatment.

The Nefetiti lift/mini-lift and jaw redefinition
This treatment is named after the Egyptian princess Nefetiti, who was thought to have the perfect jaw line. This procedure utilises the muscles of the lower face to create a more defined jaw line.

Neck Treatments
As we age the neck becomes saggy. We can treat both the horizontal neck lines and the thick vertical straps (platysmal bands) to create a more youthful look.

Hyperhydrosis
This treatment involves subdermal injections into both axilla (arm pits) to reduce sweating. It is becoming evermore popular and the results can be seen within two weeks.

Restylane

A new look in 30 minutes - RESTYLANE® is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle and the result is instantaneous. Restylane has an intermediate gel particle size that makes it suitable for moderate wrinkles and lip enhancement. It is recommended that it is injected into the middle part of the dermis (middle layer of skin).

No previous skin test is needed and the treatment produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to your skin.

RESTYLANE® products are suitable for:

  • Wrinkle correction and lip enhancements
  • Correcting thin superficial lines, for example, around the mouth, forehead lines and smile lines

Restylane comes in six tissue tailored products.

Restylane Touch
Has the smallest gel particle size in the Q-med range and is used for the correction of very thin superficial lines. It is injected into the upper part of the dermis.

Restylane Restylane
"Smooth's out nose to mouth lines, soften scaring and fills tear troughs giving a revitalised more youthful appearance"

Restylane Perlane
This has a larger gel particle size and is used for deep lines, facial contouring, and lip enhancement. It is injected into the deep layer of the dermis.

Resylane Lipp
It has been specially designed and formulated for injecting into the lips for enhancement and contouring of thin looking lips, the cupid’s bow, or to simply add fullness. It claims to be structured to withstand the range of mouth movements and strains – like talking, smiling, laughing and kissing - that characterise the lip area and therefore last longer.

Restylane Vital
It is aimed at a whole new approach to skin rejuvenation, using mesotherapy, (sometimes called biorevitalisation) techniques. It is targeted at a broad range of treatment areas including the face, neck, décolletage (the area between the neck and breasts) and hands; designed to replenish the hyaluronic acid lost through ageing, hence hydrating the skin and improving its elasticity and tone.
