For the Face

For the Hands

Bring back your youthful touch

Skin boosters are a great way to hydrate your skin and make your skin appear fuller, with a radiant glow. The effects are long lasting and achieved with a hyaluronic acid formula, using a combination of small, light injections at skin level – less deep than dermal fillers.

 

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that is already naturally produced by your body, mostly found in skin, eyes and connective tissue. It helps keep skin plump and hydrated, in your body helping to retain over 1000 times its weight in water within the cells of the skin. Just like their name, they can give your skin the boost it needs.

 

We love hyaluronic acid and use it in many of our injectable treatments and our skincare. But what is it? Hyaluronic acid is a sponge-like substance that is found naturally in our bodies, most notably in our skin. It functions differently at different layers; in the upper layer of the skin it hydrates and under the skin it can provide scaffold-like structural support, while in the deep layer of the skin (the dermis) it can do both as well as boost the skins’ natural healing process. That’s why we love Profhilo and Skin Boosters – hyaluronic acid gels designed to rejuvenate the dermis.

 

This ‘layer dependent’ action means that the thickness of your skin and the degree of laxity present are important to determine how well this treatment will work for you. Dr Sultan will carefully examine your skin before treatment and will then recommend the best hyaluronic acid injectable product for your skin type and skin concern.

For the Face

Moisturise and Rejuvenate.

 

From our twenties onwards the fibroblasts within the skin stop producing so much of the skins own natural Elastin, Collagen and Hyaluronic acid. Our Skin Boosters are a course of treatment, three sessions 2- 4 weeks apart that uses micro injections to stimulate the skins fibroblasts and encourage increased production of the skins natural moisturisers. This in turn increases cell turn over, which gives a lasting effect to treatment. The addition of Hyaluronic Acid acts as a plumping and firming agent, giving the skin a more youthful, radiant appearance from within.

Profhilo® is a unique injectable skin treatment designed to hydrate, tighten and rejuvenate the skin in the face, neck, chest or hands. It’s similar to dermal fillers, in that it is made from hyaluronic acid, however it functions very differently. Whereas fillers have a jelly-like consistency, Profhilo is more like honey. It doesn’t change the shape of your face but spreads evenly through the skin hydrating and remodelling it from within. This is why the treatment is often referred to as an ‘injectable moisturiser’.

Dark Circles & Eye Bags

Dr Sultan was one of the first doctors in the UK to use polynucleotides to remove dark circles under the eyes after publishing his studies in scientific journals. It is an innovative and effective way to restore skin firmness and elasticity, and ensure healthy skin that is protected against free radicals and cellular damage.

 

Polynucleotide injection results in a histological change of fibroblasts, osteoblasts, and adipocytes, as well as other structures in the tissue (bio-structuring in all tissue layers such as bone, muscle and adipose tissue). It changes the structures from fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, which is a phenotype intermediate between fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells - i.e. a modulation of the fibroblasts. This means positive effects are seen quickly - and a lift in skin structure is visible after just a few minutes.

 

For the Neck

Over time, levels of the naturally occurring substance responsible for maintaining skin hydration, reduce.

 

The substance fillers and skinboosters are made of is a moisture binding substance in the skin, giving the skin firmness, plumpness and elasticity. It helps prevent lines wrinkles and fold forming. Moisturising the surface of the skin with creams cannot replace the substance loss which is occurring over time.

 

The solution is to restore the skins natural hydration where the loss is occurring.

 

The neck skin can become thin and crepey. The texture becomes less smooth as the years go on. This can be treated with skin boosters

For the Hands

Hand rejuvenation. 

 

When it comes to aging, we often focus on the face but neglect other areas that show signs of aging like our hands. Book a consultation with Dr Sultan to restore a youthful touch, bring back volume, and smoothen wrinkles in your hands.   

 

We combine skin boosters and dermal fillers following a consultation for you to enjoy instant plumpness, collagen boost, all with minimal downtime. 

  • What are the possible risks and side effects?
    These treatments should only be performed by a trained medical professional who understands human anatomy and how to administer injections properly. Because Botulinum Toxin treatments utilises a regulated drug, there may be complications experienced from time-to-time. Temporary side effects include pain, swelling, and bruising where the treatment was performed, and rarely, headaches. Depending on the area treated, you may experience a droopy eyebrow, a crooked smile and/or drooling, and eye dryness or persistent tearing. Your doctor will discuss all risks and complications with you during your consultation.
  • How Does Preventative Botox Work?
    It’s important to understand how Botox works so you can be fully informed about how preventative Botox will work. Botox is a brand name. Other brands approved in the UK are: Dysport, Azzalure, Bocouture and Xeomin. The medical name of the drug is Botulin Toxin Type A which is derived from Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium. It’s naturally found in soil, lakes, and forests. Botox is a prescription medication which is why it’s so important that you get Botox treatments from a trained professional. They are knowledgeable about the appropriate dosage and know where to inject the Botox to alleviate wrinkles. To create Botox to inject, the powder is mixed with a saline solution and then injected into certain areas to weaken the muscles. This is how it works to reduce wrinkles. By weakening the muscles, Botox prevents them from moving and causing static or permanent wrinkles. Most people wait until they start to see wrinkles before they seek Botox treatment, but preventative treatment uses Botox to treat wrinkles before they emerge. By injecting the muscles that typically cause wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and eyebrows with Botox before they start to develop wrinkles, you are essentially preventing them before they happen. The Botox slows down the use of those muscles, preventing lines from developing (or at least delaying the development of the lines). One of the most common places for preventative Botox is to the forehead, frown and glabellar area. Preventative Botox can prevent deep lines, which can make you look older and tired and are harder to treat once they develop
  • How long will the treatment take to work?
    Anti-wrinkle injections typically last around 3 months, especially in patients who are just starting. The results may vary depending on your activity levels and metabolism. However, the more anti-wrinkle injections you receive throughout your life, the fewer treatments you may need as your muscles become conditioned to the treatment.
  • Are anti-wrinkle injections the same as Botox?
    Botox and anti-wrinkle injections are the same treatment. There are several anti-wrinkle drugs that have the same or similar active ingredients. BOTOX® is simply the brand name used for a specific and widely known drug that is used for anti-wrinkle procedures. We use a variety of anti-wrinkle drugs, with the most wanted being BOTOX & BOCOUTURE.
  • Does Botox ruin your face?
    Botox is a great option to slow down the ageing process and minimise fine lines and wrinkles and prevent future wrinkles from forming. Going to a clinic that employs unlicenced or poorly train staff and/or uses low-quality products can have negative consequences and cause concerning or unwanted results. Dr Sultan has years of training and experience working with these injectable treatments and produces great, natural results time and again. Always ensure you attend a reputable clinic for your treatments.
  • What can I expect after my treatment?
    Botox & Bocouture injections are great ways to remove fine lines and wrinkles, and prevent future skin ageing. Results are generally first visible after 14 days from your date of treatment. Immediately after your treatment, you may notice small red bumps caused by the injections to the treated area. Additionally, you may experience a mild headache, as well as temporary mild redness, bruising, and swelling, which will typically go away within 24 hours.
  • Is it painful?
    Anesthesia is not required and most patients experience only minimal and brief discomfort.
  • How much does it cost?
    Anti-wrinkle treatments start at £200 and are priced according to the area that you are treating. Typical areas of Botox Injections of the upper face include: • Glabella: Vertical lines between the eyebrows. • Forehead: Horizontal lines across the forehead. The glabella should be treated in conjunction with the forehead. • Crow’s Feet: The lines around the outer eyes. • Gummy Smile • Bunny lines: Diagonal lines on the sides of the nose. The current demand of this treatment is high. While there are clinics that offers this treatment at lower prices, it is important to be aware of their qualifications, training, and experience.
