ELEVATE
Dr Aisling explores common skin concerns and what options are available at Elevate
Fine lines and wrinkles form through repeated facial movement. Those lines which disappear when the facial movement is stopped, are referred to as dynamic lines. Repeated facial movement over time, eg, repeated frowning, will eventually cause those dynamic lines to become permanent, then referred to as static lines.
Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly known as Botox® act by blocking nerve signals to the targeted facial muscle stopping the muscle from contracting. In this way, dynamic lines are reduced and static line formation is halted. Anti-wrinkle injections can therefore be considered as both prevention and cure. In smoothing lines and wrinkles, we achieve a younger, more rejuvenated look.
Anti-wrinkle injections are most often used to treat frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet.

Skin sagging happens naturally as we age and lose fat from our face. Fat loss from the midface (cheek) area will create deeper nose to mouth (nasolabial) lines and deeper mouth to chin lines (marionettes). Dermal fillers to replace lost volume can be a wonderful option to improve this.
Jowls can also be exaggerated by neck and jaw muscles pulling downward and lower face toxin (commonly referred to as Botox®) can be used to help this, as can midface fillers, chin and jaw fillers.
Skin naturally looses elasticity, radiance and hydration as we age and skin boosters eg Belotero® Revive can improve the skin texture leading to a more youthful appearance.

Thin lips can be hydrated and plumped using dermal fillers to create a natural but fuller look. In some cases, toxin can also be used to evert the upper lip giving the impression of a fuller top lip.
A Gummy smile can also be treated with toxin to reduce the amount of upper gum visible on smiling giving a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

Sweat issues can have a huge impact on self confidence.
Toxin used in the underarms can safely reduce and even stop sweating in this area, giving you your confidence back.
The effects of this can last 6-12 months
