What are muscle-relaxing injections?

Muscle relaxing injections involve a neurotoxin being injected directly into the muscle utilising fine needles. The agent prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine within the muscle, resulting in temporary muscle paralysis. As new growth of nerves re-innervate the muscle the function is regained, therefore, repeated treatment will be required to maintain your desired results. These injections are a popular anti-ageing tool that help rejuvenate the skin, minimising wrinkles and fine lines.

How long does it last?

Depending on the area treated and the strength of the muscle, results can last anywhere from 3-4 months. After the initial treatment, results can be seen 2-5 days post treatment and take full effect by day 14. Please note the recommended dose will vary depending on the individual.

What is dermal filler?

Dermal filler is made up of a substance that is naturally found in the body, Hyaluronic acid, which is a chain of sugar molecules that is highly hydrophilic (attracts water) and this allows it to occupy large volumes relative to its mass. Hyaluronic acid is a an essential component of the extracellular matrix of all animal tissue and is found in abundance.

How long does it last?

Dermal filler can last anywhere from 6-18 months, but recommend re-treating 6-12 months post original treatment to allow the consistency of the gel injected to integrate and remain longer. The amount of filler will vary depending on the individual’s desired results.

The procedure:

To minimise pain and discomfort, topical anaesthetic is applied to certain areas prior to the treatment, which can take anywhere from 30 minutes up to an hour. The filler contains Lignocaine to help make the procedure more comfortable during and after. The procedure involves injecting fine needles into the skin, which may result in some bruising and swelling.

Hyperhidrosis is a treatment that targets excessive sweating. It involves several tiny injections of a neurotoxin into the surface layer of the skin to relax the nerves responsible for signalling your sweat glands. This treatment is extremely quick and effective, lasting anywhere from 4-6 months.

“Reiki” is a combination of two Japanese words:

rei = “God’s wisdom” or “the higher power”; ki = “life force energy” 

Reiki is a form of energy medicine that originated in Japan touches the mind, body and spirit. The idea behind Reiki is that we have an unseen life force energy flowing through our bodies. Reiki empowers the body to naturally heal itself by re-balancing the Chakra system, allowing energy to move more freely through the body. In turn, promotes self-healing as it assists the body’s natural healing process. The treatment involves gentle touch with intention, channelling and guiding the flow of healthy energy through the body.

Benefits of Reiki include; greater vitality, reducing stress/anxiety, better sleep and pain relief.
