Anti-Wrinkle Injections – Choose from 1 Area, 2 Areas or 3 Areas This anti-aging treatment (Botulinum Toxin Injections) helps to reduce deep wrinkles and make finer ones nearly disappear by reducing muscle movement leaving you with a fresher, friendlier and youthful  look. Minimal downtime is required with fast and effective results within 48 hrs to 2 weeks, lasting up to 3-4 months depending on the severity of lines. Injections involve little to no pain and Dr. Henning can apply numbing cream if required. Areas treated with this treatment: Forehead lines, Frown lines, Crows Feet.

Masseter Jaw Muscle Relaxation Injection This masseter muscle is a facial muscle that connects our lower jaw to our cheeks. It is one of several muscles responsible for chewing. When this muscle becomes enlarged for a variety of reasons, usually patients who grind or clench their teeth, it can dramatically change the shape of your lower face. By relaxing the masseter muscle Botox injections can reduce the muscle activity that contributes to these issues, offering patients significant relief from discomfort and preventing further dental damage. This treatment can also slim the appearance of the jawline, creating a more V-Shaped or Heart-Shaped face and can particularly benefit patients with a square jawline or those looking for facial contouring without surgery.

Lip- Flip Injection Lip Flips use a small amount of very precise botox injections to relax the muscles around your upper lip so it turns upward and outward. This can make your lip look fuller, but its actual volume does not increase. Your lip size will remain the same. It can also help to smooth & prevent vertical lines developing above your lip. Some clients love the Lip Flip as they like the idea of enhancing their upper lip without looking over-filled. There are also some patients who do not like it and prefer Lip-Augmentation treatments.

Brow Lift Injection The aesthetically ideal brow shape in women is a gentle arch. Heaviness in the brow can occur as a hereditary feature or as part of normal aging. Dr.Henning will use muscle-relaxing injections to create a gentle lift in the tail of the brow, a subtle but attractive enhancement. The treatment can result in a higher brow arch and brighter, wider-looking eyes. More than one area may be needed to be treated to create the desired effect.

Dermal Fillers – Areas that can be treated: Cheek, Marionette Lines and Nasolabial folds starting from 0.5ml

Fillers consist of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) that are injected under the skin. This treatment plumps up wrinkles, soften facial creases, improve shallow contours and even reconstruct contour deformities. As we get older, our own natural occurring HA decreases causing volume loss noticeable in the face, as our faces starts to sag and deep wrinkles starts to form under our eyes and around our nose and mouth. With dermal fillers the aim is to rejuvenate and enhance facial features by adding volume and structure leaving you with a radiant glow. HA dermal filler also stimulates collagen production and thus reduces fine lines and wrinkles over time. They are minimally invasive. Results are almost immediate. They last for about 9-12 months.

Dermal Fillers for Lip Augmentation / Restoration starting from 0.5ml

During your consultation Doctor Henning will look at your lips and assess your facial structure. Then, they’ll decide which areas of your lips need more volume or plumpness. Before the injections, you’ll get a topical medicine to make the area numb. Once injected, the gel in the filler supports and shapes the tissues of the lips .The effects typically last around 6 months.

Underarm Sweating Injections

Hyperhidrosis can significantly affect quality of lie, leading to social anxiety, embarrassment and difficulty in daily activities. How it works: Botulinum toxin (Botox) blocks the release of acetylcholine a neurotransmitter responsible for activating sweat glands. By inhibiting this signal, Botox effectively reduces sweating in the treated area. Results Timeline: Most patients begin to notice a reduction in sweating within 4-7 days with maximum results visible by 2 weeks. The effect can last anywhere from 4 to 12 months, after which treatment can be repeated.

Polynucleotides, book from 1 to 4 treatment sessions.

New treatment Polynucleotides are an injectable bio-stimulator that are crafted from purified DNA fragments that encourage collagen and elastin productions, two essential proteins within the skin that decrease with age. A course of 4 is recommended for best results, these can be booked 3 to 4 weeks apart.

Bunny Lines Injections

Bunny lines, also known as scrunch lines or nasal wrinkles, are the fine lines appearing on either side of your nose when you scrunch your face. They occur due to the repeated contraction of the muscles surrounding the nose, leading to a loss of skin elasticity and the formation of fine lines. Ageing, sun damage, genetics and environmental factors like smoking or exposure to the sun can also contribute to their formation. An effective method for treating bunny lines involves using neuromuscular toxins like Anti-Wrinkle Injections to smooth out creases in the nose. Botulinum toxin is injected into the area to temporarily block the nerve signals that cause the facial contractions that lead to bunny lines.

Downward Mouth Improvement Injections

A downturned smile can significantly impact your appearance and self-confidence, making you look older or more tired than you actually are. As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for its firmness and elasticity. This natural loss, combined with the gradual weakening of facial muscles, can lead to sagging mouth corners and a downward smile. Just as other facial features are inherited so too can the shape and resting position of your mouth. Anti-Wrinkle injections such as Botox offer a tried and true solution for correcting a downturned smile. It works by relaxing the muscles around the corners of the mouth, effectively lifting and smoothing out drooping mouth corners. With its proven track record, Botox is an excellent option for those looking to achieve a non-surgical corner lip lift.

Gummy Smile Correction Injections

A Gummy Smile is caused by hyperactive muscle that reveals more of your gum area and can be helped simply through the injection of anti-wrinkle treatment to relax the muscle. This anti-aging treatment helps to reduce deep wrinkles and make finer ones nearly disappear by reducing muscle movement leaving you with a fresher, friendlier and youthful look. Minimal downtime is required with fast and effective results within 48 hours to 2 weeks, lasting up to 3-4 months depending on the severity of the lines.

Orange Peel Chin Treatment

An ‘orange peel’ chin is the term used to describe a chin that, when puckered (and sometimes also at rest) has the appearance of orange peel, with textural changes and pitting. While there is no medical cause for concern if you have a dimply orange-peel texture to your chin, you might feel self-conscious about it. This condition is easily treated with injections of Botulinum toxin A, a type of neurotoxin which acts by relaxing the chin muscles that cause the uneven and bumpy appearance.

Perioral Lines Injections (Smokers Lines)

Smokers lines are also known as perioral rhytides or “pucker lines”. Smokers lines or lipstick lines are fine wrinkles and lines on the upper and or lower lip that radiates out from the red lip border. These lines are more prevalent on the upper lips. While they are sometimes called smoker’s lines, most individuals develop the lines for reasons other than smoking.  It is very common to use Anti Wrinkle injections to treat lipstick lines regardless of the depth of the lines.  Treatment will have a couple of positive effects on the lines over time.  First, it will help relax the lines, which tends to eliminate the more permanent etching that may have occurred.  Secondly, it will help extend the longevity of the advanced dermal fillers if using these in conjunction with botox injection.
