Azzalure versus Botox?

You want to have Botox done, but you’re confused and overwhelmed with the different names and options on the market?

The existing products on the market are Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. It is the same product with different names in different countries. But the drugs are the same.

There is always overlap in terms of branding these products, meaning that Dysport can be labeled as Azzalure in different countries, even though they are the same product.

Preference between Azzalure versus Botox differs from practitioner to practitioner, but here at The London Facial Care, I mainly prefer the use of Azzalure (or Dysport). More Dysport units are needed than Botox when injecting, but the results should be the same.

If you wish to find out more about those procedures and concerns about wrinkles appearing on your face, please call the practice! My assistants will be more than happy to help you book an appointment with me!

OBAGI TO GET RID OF TIRED LOOKING EYES AND DARK CIRCLES

Having dark circles and wrinkles affects your overall look. These small setbacks are not signs of sicknesses. However, when people see this, they assume you are tired. In reality, Dark Circles and wrinkles under the eye emerge as a result of ageing. Aside from this, these irritations can occur from different factors, such as stress, allergies, exposure to the sun, loss in collagen, and it can even be hereditary.

Are you looking for an everlasting resolution to this problem? Why not consider the Obagi Nu Derm Blender, the Obagi Tretinoin, or the Elastiderm Eye Complete Complex Serum?

MD Codes, advanced dermal fillers, Juvederm… you have so much to consider with information blurted all over the place. I want to share with you my knowledge and advice on these treatments!

Over the last 200 years in the UK, life expectancy doubled and is almost reaching 90 years.

It is not life that science, techniques have prolonged, it is old age. The real wonder would be to keep us until death’s door in the state and the appearance of an adult of 30 or 40 years, fresh and ready, to settle us forever in the age of our choice. In our days age is tolerable only if you remain decent in body and mind.

There is new approach in aesthetic to start making this dream becoming a reality.

As we monitor our health with regular check up to our GP, we should be able to do the same and monitor state of our appearance time to time visiting our aesthetic practitioner and act upon it at the correct time if we want to delay ageing process. 

Complementary to the MD codes techniques to inject dermal fillers,  Dr Mauricio de Maio has developed a new concept based on aesthetic indicators that if corrected at an early stage may provide optimal conditions for physical appearance.

Those aesthetic indicators are called Surface Ageing Trigger Points (SATP). There are 16 facial SATP.

Sooner you monitor your Surface Ageing Trigger Points (SATP) and start correcting a structural deficiency or deficiency due to ageing process, easier it will be to keep yourself with a more youthful and beautiful appearance.

More you wait, more issues become complex to treat and more SATP are involved. It takes more fillers and time to correct, sometime with limitation and it becomes more costly.

For the past ten years, Dr Fern has been attending Dr Mauricio De Maio conferences and workshops and became an expert in MD Codes and Surface Ageing Trigger Points.

Find out for yourself the state of your Surface Ageing Trigger Points and discover what needs to be done to keep a fresh and desirable look!

Botox in your twenties.

In our days with the impact of social media and the selfie culture, botox injection is one of the most popular aesthetic procedure even for the women in their 20’s.  Botox in your twenties is considered as a preventive procedure for early signs of ageing, such as crow’s feet and forehead lines. It avoids as well for those lines to get more in-depth with age. Those patients are well informed about procedures, and they know what they want precisely This month, The Dr Fern Mag is to explain how to combine Obagi, one of the best  skincare regimen with Botox and how Botox differs when  being injected to patients in their early 20’s

Do Botox and fillers make you look older?

Nowadays, It is increasingly the case that our younger generation is exposed to beauty standards from magazines and celebrities, that promote the perfect ‘flawless’ look!

As a result, we quickly want the perfect lips, the perfect cheekbones, the perfect brows, the perfect everything!

As a practitioner, I have seen the effects of Botox and fillers used in large amounts at younger ages and can see that this does not have a ‘natural’ impacted look by the time we are forty.

What is the best tear trough filler for eye rejuvenation?

Teosyal Redensity II is one of the best tear through filler on the market. It is the safest and most effective dermal fillers products designed to treat the periorbital area and tear troughs.

It consists of a lightweight gel and requires a small amount of pressure for it to enter the tissue below the skin. It had been reformed to deal with the gentle skin in the eye circle area, helping to prevent bruising.

Teosyal Redensity II also is not as hydrophilic as other HA gels, resulting in little to no swelling after the injection.

Do you want to find out more about Teosyal Redensity II and whether it is right for you?

Botox remains the gold standard in wrinkle treatments. It is proven to be safe and successful. No need for anesthesia, nearly painless, short procedure, no downtime. The perfect lunchtime cosmetic procedure.

What are you waiting for to take care of yourself!

Botox for men

Over the years, male patients are gaining significant interest in minimally invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedures, especially botulinum toxin treatments ( Botox).

Why are men seeking Botox treatments to smooth their wrinkles?

Male patients are majorly aged between 35-60. Some want to boost their career, staying competitive on the market with the new generation coming up. Others are at a turning point in their life after a divorce and want to boost their confidence and improve their dating prospect or simply have the desire to maintain their appearance without going through surgical interventions.

Thread Lift instead of Face Lift?

Hitting middle age

Not ready for a facelift

Yet want to bring jawline a bit up

Botox and Fillers don’t give the result you are after?

Thread lift could be the answer.

None surgical face lift is one of the fastest-growing non surgical procedures in the aesthetic world.

As a patient, you are looking for an alternative from a surgical facelift with no need for a general anesthetic with an effective, immediate, and natural result, minimal downtime, and a long-lasting result.

As a practitioner, when administrating a thread lift,  we want blunt needles that can be manipulated easily through small puncture wounds that leave no scars under local safe anesthetic. We want the strong thread, reliable to use and something flexible with elasticity to allow natural patient’s face movement

A practitioner should not suggest a thread lift as an alternative to a surgical facelift. A thread lift is not a Facelift, and the patient could be disappointed if it is not clearly said upfront.

The fact Thread lift attracts patients is because it is a less invasive procedure than surgical procedure (45 minutes) with minimal downtime, rapid recovery, and an immediate visible result.

It is a fantastic temporary procedure to slow down ageing process. It is why it is essential to assess correctly the degree of skin laxity of a patient to offer the correct advice and treatment plan. Often Thread lift needs to be combined with other procedures such as filler injection and Botox to get the best outcome.

The ideal candidate for a thread facelift is someone who has mild sagging or loose skin. It could be as well patients with more severe sagging skin laxity as long as they understand the limitation of the procedure.

Blepharoplasmage is the perfect eye lift alternative for those who do not want to think about surgery and long recovery time.

Have you started losing peripheral vision caused by the slackness of the upper-eyelid skin draping over your eyelashes?

Do you feel the outer and the upper portions of the field of your vision are affected and cause you some difficulty in driving or reading a book?

If aesthetically, you can’t stand your droopy or baggy eyes anymore, Plasmage is then the perfect answer for you.

Plasmage is mainly described as a none surgical eye lift, replacing in mild cases surgical blepharoplasty and as a cosmetic procedure for those who want to keep a fresh look.

Did you know that Plasmage also works beautifully to erase smoking lines on the upper lips, to smooth wrinkles on the chin, to tighten skin on the neck, hands, belly button, and much more!

Lips Myomodulation, The ‘No Treatment’ look 

Gone are the days when you wanted your face to look obviously ‘done’, the latest trend is to have small add up to your appearance.

My signature approach is less is more. I can treat the upper face with botulinum toxin injections (botox) and the mid/lower face with a combination injectable treatment style, the Myomodulation approach. An innovative framework:

• for an understanding of the role of muscle movement on facial appearance and
• how modulation of muscle movement with injectable fillers
  • can address structural deficiencies,
  • rebalance abnormal muscle activity, and
  • restore the facial appearance

to provide results that deliver a refreshed, well-rested, and slightly younger-looking you.

Let’s find out how it works!

What is Lips Myomodulation ?

Interesting and constant developments are involved in non-surgical aesthetic procedure with filler injection.

The time is over for a long time where we saw a wrinkle and we injected into the wrinkle to mitigate or remove it. It is important to treat the face as whole. No part of the face exists independently  and any action carried on a part of a face has an impact on the rest of the face. Hence the importance of true upstream consultation  and take pictures  to perform a real facial analysis at risk otherwise to obtain unnatural and unsatisfactory results.

Introducing MD Codes with Dr Maurico De Maio, the Dr Fern Mag of July will be all about it!

With MD Codes, we combine different dermal fillers injection sites to achieve a non-surgical facelift!

Planning ahead is the key to successful treatment and being an expert in MD Codes gives Dr Fern the pleasure and confidence to introduce this wonderful technique to her patients and deliver natural and safe results!
