Facial injectables cover a wide range of products, such as, Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen Stimulators, Skin Boosters, Polynucleotides and Botulinum Toxin. They are used for a variety of reasons within medical aesthetics, to provide structural support, restore volume, enhance facial contours, and improve skin function. They can also be used to treat lips and soften folds and wrinkles. At KH Aesthetics we aim to provide a safe and effective treatment for all our patients and only use products with a high clinical safety profile with FDA and/or CE approval.

Your journey at Karen Hunter Aesthetics should be a collaborative process and always begins with a consultation. This is a fundamental process designed to listen to and identify any concerns you may have. It allows a confidential in-depth discussion on what you may perceive is an issue, followed by what realistic expectations and aspirations you have for your desired aesthetic goals.

 

In order for me to advise on the available treatment options, a full medical history will be taken, including, allergies, current medications, and any previous aesthetic/beauty procedures; a physical examination may also be needed to assess your skin condition or facial structures.

 

We will then discuss the different treatment options, including pre-treatment advice, expected outcomes, potential risks, recovery time, and any associated costs. Some of the treatments offered at KH Aesthetics include prescription-strength products. As a Nurse Prescriber we may discuss these as treatment options.

 

Based on my assessment and your goals, we will devise a bespoke treatment plan most appropriate to your needs. At this time, we can discuss any concerns and give you the opportunity to ask questions.

 

As part of the process, a cooling-off period is recommended to ensure information has been reflected upon, allowing you time to consider all the options for achieving natural looking results. Following this period, you will be contacted to ensure you are happy with the information provided, giving you an opportunity to ask any further questions.

Profhilo®

Winner of Product Innovation of the Year, 2016 – The Aesthetics Awards

Profhilo is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity. With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg / 2ml) it is not only boosting and hydrating the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue. Profhilo delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments currently on offer.

As a stabilised product Profhilo lasts in the skin around 28 days. During this time the stimulation of 4 different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of HA. The stimulation results in significant tissue improvement. Therefore, we cannot say that Profhilo is a skin booster as it also has a significant tightening / lifting effect on the tissue. Profhilo requires two treatments with a four-week interval, results are usually seen following the second treatment. Prices from £350

Viscoderm Hydrobooster is a stabilized hyaluronic acid injectable product able to offer a dual function; a biological process of hydration and tissue restructuring, together with a mechanical action to stretch the most superficial wrinkles, in a precise and natural way, resulting in its unique HYDROSTRETCH action. Optimal tissue integration is achieved in different levels of the dermis, up to the most superficial layers. For this reason, Viscoderm® Hydrobooster is particularly effective on the dynamic areas of the face (perioral, periocular and forehead). Prices from £250

Collagen Stimulators

Collagen stimulators – are injectables which are administered to the deep layers of the skin. They are used to create lift, treat facial wrinkles and folds and to enhance facial contours.

Helping to rebuild lost collagen, correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds with results that can last more than two years. Results are gradual through a series of treatments, on average three injection appointments are needed over a period of a few months. The number of appointments and injections per appointment vary from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost. Prices from £400

Muscle Relaxant Injectables

Muscle-relaxant injectables are used to treat moderate to severe lines associated with muscle activity. These are known as dynamic lines produced by dynamic movements. Botulinum Type A (for example Allergan’s Botox ®) is an FDA approved treatment indicated for the glabellar complex (frown lines), lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet) and forehead lines. Botulinum Toxin A remains the most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatment for both male and female patients in the UK.

Botulinum Toxin A is a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum and was initially introduced in the medical world over two hundred years ago to teat excessive sweating. Botulinum Toxin A has also been used in medicine, to effectively treat headaches, bladder control and squints. The work with Botulinum Toxin A and ophthalmology revealed a side effect, a reduction in the appearance of crow’s feet around the eyes and as a result is now licensed to use in aesthetics. Once injected the toxin prevents the release of the chemical acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction known as the synapse and consequently the neurone synapse is blocked.

The physical effect from this is movement in the area is temporarily reduced creating a softening effect on lines and wrinkles. Over time the body creates new connections and movement will be gradually be restored, effects last 3-4 months depending on the individual. This treatment uses a prescription only medication (POM), therefore, a detailed consultation with your practitioner and/or prescriber, face to face will assess your suitability and clinical need.
