Dermal fillers are substances injected into the skin to smooth wrinkles, add volume, or contour specific areas of the face. They're commonly used to address signs of aging or to enhance certain features. These fillers can be made from various materials such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid. Hyaluronic acid fillers are popular because they're naturally found in the body and are generally well-tolerated.

 

Some common uses of dermal fillers include:

1. Smoothing wrinkles and fine lines: Dermal fillers can be used to fill in lines around certain areas of the face

2. Restoring volume: As the face ages, it may lose volume, leading to sagging or hollow areas. Dermal fillers can be used to restore volume to these areas.

3. Enhancing facial contours: Dermal fillers can be used  to augment and define certain facial features,  such  as cheeks or lip.  It's important to note that the effects of dermal fillers are temporary, and the duration varies depending on the type of filler used.

 

Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. It's          crucial to have dermal filler injections performed by qualified and experienced professional to ensure safety and achieve the desired results.

Semi Permanent Make Up 

Semi-permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, involves the application of pigments into the skin to enhance features such as eyebrows and lips. Unlike traditional tattooing, which penetrates deeper layers of the skin, semi-permanent makeup typically targets the upper layers of the dermis, resulting in a more temporary effect.

The process involves using a small handheld tool or machine with fine needles to deposit pigment into the skin. Before the procedure, a consultation is carried out with the client to determine their desired look and selects pigments that match their skin tone and preferences.

 

Semi-permanent makeup can be used for various purposes: Here at Amoré we offer 

1. Eyebrows: Creating fuller, more defined brows by filling in sparse areas or reshaping the brows.

2. Lips: Adding colour and definition to the lips, correcting asymmetry, or creating the appearance of fuller lips.

 

The results of semi-permanent makeup can last anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on factors such as the type of pigment used, individual skin characteristics, and lifestyle factors like sun exposure and skincare routines. Touch-up sessions will be needed to maintain the desired appearance over time. It's essential to have the procedure done by a trained and experienced professional to ensure safety and achieve the desired results.

Anti Wrinkle Treatment (Botox)

Botox, short for botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In medicine, it's used therapeutically in very small doses to treat various conditions, primarily for its ability to temporarily paralyze muscles.

In cosmetic treatments, Botox injections are popular for reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in areas like the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow's feet).

 

Here's how it works:

1. Muscle Relaxation: Botox works by blocking the signals from nerves to muscles, temporarily preventing the muscles from contracting. When injected into specific facial muscles, it relaxes those muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and preventing new lines from forming.

2. Cosmetic Uses: Botox is commonly used to diminish the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated muscle movements and expressions over time. It's particularly effective for lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as frowning or squinting.

 

Some common cosmetic uses of Botox include:

• Forehead lines: Horizontal lines that form across the forehead when raising the eyebrows.

• Glabellar lines: Vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called "frown lines" or "11 lines."

• Crow's feet: Lines that radiate outward from the corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting.

 

Botox can also be an effective treatment for excessive sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis. When used for this purpose, Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for activating sweat glands.

Botox injections are generally safe when administered by trained professionals in appropriate doses. Results typically last for three to four months, with the effects gradually wearing off over time as the body metabolises the toxin. Regular maintenance treatments are often needed to maintain the desired outcome.

Skin Boosters

Skin boosters, also known as injectable moisturizers, are a type of cosmetic treatment designed to improve the overall quality and appearance of the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which primarily add volume to specific areas of the face, skin boosters are formulated to hydrate the skin from within and stimulate collagen production.

 

Here's how skin boosters work and what they can do for your skin:

 

Hydration: Skin boosters contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain moisture levels. When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid attracts water molecules, resulting in improved hydration and a plumping effect.

 

Collagen Stimulation: In addition to providing immediate hydration, skin boosters also stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that gives skin its structure and firmness. Increased collagen production can lead to long-term improvements in skin elasticity, texture, and overall youthfulness.

 

Improvement of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By hydrating the skin and promoting collagen synthesis, skin boosters can help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in areas prone to dehydration, such as the cheeks, around the eyes, and the neck.

 

Enhanced Radiance: Skin boosters can improve the overall radiance and luminosity of the skin, giving it a healthier and more youthful appearance. They can also help address dullness and uneven skin tone caused by factors like sun damage, aging, or environmental stressors.

 

Customisable Treatment: Skin boosters are versatile and can be customised to address specific skin concerns and areas of the face. They can be used alone or in combination with other cosmetic treatments, such as Botox or traditional dermal fillers, to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation and enhancement.

 

Skin boosters are typically administered through a series of injections performed by a trained professional. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort and downtime. Results are visible shortly after treatment and can last for several months, with maintenance sessions recommended to sustain the effects over time.

Overall, skin boosters can be an effective option for individuals looking to improve the hydration, texture, and overall health of their skin, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion.

Fat Dissolving Injections 

Fat dissolving injections, also known as lipolytic injections or lipolysis injections, are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to reduce localized fat deposits in specific areas of the body. These injections typically contain substances that break down fat cells, leading to their gradual elimination from the body.

The most common active ingredient in fat dissolving injections is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring bile acid that aids in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats. Deoxycholic acid works by disrupting the cell membrane of fat cells, causing them to rupture and release their contents. Once released, the fat is metabolised and eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system.

 

Here's what you need to know about fat dissolving injections:

 

1. Treatment Areas: Fat dissolving injections are commonly used to target areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include the chin (submental fat or "double chin"), love handles, abdomen, thighs, and upper arms.

2. Procedure: The treatment typically involves a series of injections administered directly into the targeted fat deposits using a fine needle. The number of injections and sessions required depends on factors such as the size of the treatment area and the individual's desired outcome.

3. Results: Fat dissolving injections can lead to gradual fat reduction and improved contouring of the treated area over several weeks to months. Most individuals require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and do not return, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent the accumulation of new fat cells in the area.

4. Safety and Side Effects: Fat dissolving injections are generally considered safe when administered by a qualified and experienced professional. Common side effects may include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection sites. More serious complications such as nerve damage or asymmetry are rare but possible.

5. Suitability: Fat dissolving injections are not suitable for everyone. They are typically recommended for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but have localised areas of excess fat. It's essential to undergo a thorough consultation with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if you are a suitable candidate for treatment and to discuss your expectations and potential risks.

 

Overall, fat dissolving injections can be an effective non-surgical option for reducing localised fat deposits and improving body contouring. However, it's essential to approach these treatments with realistic expectations and to seek guidance from a qualified professional to ensure safe and effective results.
