Dysport
Dysport, also known as abobotulinumtoxinA, is an injectable treatment derived from botulinum toxin type A. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles, which helps reduce muscle contractions. This makes it effective for both medical and cosmetic purposes. Medically, Dysport is used to treat conditions like spasticity, cervical dystonia, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Cosmetically, it is popular for smoothing moderate to severe wrinkles, such as frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet.
Botox / Xeomin
Botox and Xeomin are both injectable treatments derived from botulinum toxin type A, used for both cosmetic and medical purposes.
Here's a breakdown of each:
- How it works:
Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals to muscles, reducing muscle activity. This helps smooth wrinkles and treat certain medical conditions. - Cosmetic uses:
Commonly used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. - Medical uses:
Treats conditions like chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), overactive bladder, and muscle spasms. - Unique feature:
Contains protective proteins around the active molecule, which may influence how it works for some individuals2.
- How it works:
Similar to Botox, Xeomin blocks nerve signals to muscles, but it is a “naked” form of botulinum toxin, meaning it does not have any accessory proteins. - Cosmetic uses:
Effective for reducing moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. - Medical uses:
Treats conditions like cervical dystonia (abnormal neck position), eyelid spasms (blepharospasm), and upper limb spasticity. - Unique feature:
Its lack of accessory proteins may reduce the risk of developing resistance over time

Lip Flip
A lip flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to give the appearance of fuller lips. It involves injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin (like Botox) into the muscles around the upper lip. This relaxes the muscles, causing the upper lip to “flip” slightly outward, creating the illusion of a plumper lip without adding actual volume.
Here's an overview:
- Procedure: Quick and minimally invasive, typically taking about 10–20 minutes.
- Results: Subtle enhancement, making the upper lip look fuller and reducing the appearance of a “gummy” smile.
- Duration: Effects usually last 8–12 weeks.
- Difference from fillers: Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, a lip flip only changes the positioning of the lip.

Nose -Tox Tuck and Lift
Nose Tox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses botulinum toxin (like Botox or Dysport) to enhance the appearance of the nose. It works by relaxing specific muscles around the nose, which can help achieve subtle changes in its shape and positioning.
Here's an overview:
- Slimming effect: Reduces the widening of the nostrils when smiling, creating a more refined look.
- Lifting effect: Elevates the tip of the nose slightly, enhancing the profile.
- Non-invasive: Quick procedure with minimal discomfort and downtime.
- Temporary results: Effects typically last for a few months, making it a reversible option.

Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond what the body needs to regulate temperature. It can affect specific areas like the palms, soles, underarms, or face (known as focal hyperhidrosis), or it can be generalised, impacting the entire body.
Here's an overview:
Types of Hyperhidrosis:
- Primary Hyperhidrosis:
Often hereditary, this type typically begins in childhood or adolescence and is not linked to any underlying medical condition. - Secondary Hyperhidrosis:
Caused by medical conditions like diabetes, menopause, or thyroid disorders, or as a side effect of certain medications.
- Persistent and excessive sweating, even in cool environments or at rest.
- Social and emotional distress due to visible sweating.
- Skin irritation or infections in affected areas.
Treatment Options:
- Topical treatments: Prescription-strength antiperspirants.
- Medications: Oral drugs to reduce sweating.
- Botulinum toxin injections: Temporarily block sweat glands.
- Surgical options: Removal of sweat glands or nerve surgery in severe cases.

Jawtox (Bruxism – Teeth Grinding)
Below is both a description and its benefits:
Jawtox involves injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles, which are the muscles responsible for chewing and clenching. The toxin works by relaxing these muscles, thereby reducing their activity.
The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and performed by a trained medical professional.
- Relief from Symptoms: Alleviates teeth grinding, jaw clenching, facial pain, headaches, and earaches caused by bruxism.
- Protects Teeth: Prevents long-term damage to teeth and dental work by reducing grinding.
- Improved Sleep Quality: Reduces nighttime grinding, contributing to better sleep.
- Jawline Slimming: Over time, Jawtox can slim the masseter muscles, providing a more defined, aesthetically pleasing jawline.
- Non-Surgical & Safe: It’s a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime when done by a qualified practitioner.

Nefertiti Neck Lift (Platysmal Band)
The Nefertiti neck lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck and jawline by targeting the platysmal bands—those vertical muscles that can become more prominent with age. Named after Queen Nefertiti, known for her elegant neck, this treatment uses botulinum toxin (like Botox) to relax these muscles, reducing their downward pull.
This creates a smoother, more lifted appearance in the neck and jawline.
Here's an overview:
- Reduces Prominent Neck Bands: Softens the appearance of vertical platysmal bands.
- Improves Jawline Definition: Enhances the contour of the jawline by reducing sagging.
- Minimally Invasive: A quick, outpatient procedure with minimal downtime.
- Youthful Appearance: Smooths wrinkles and folds in the neck for a more refreshed look.
The results are temporary, typically lasting a few months, and the procedure is ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity. For more significant sagging, surgical options might be necessary.
If you’re considering this, consulting a qualified professional is key to achieving safe and effective results. Does this sound like something you’d like to explore further?

Shoulders/ Calf Muscles (Requires 2 Sessions)
Anti-wrinkle injections, often using botulinum toxin, can be applied to the shoulders and calf muscles for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
Here's a breakdown:
- Purpose:
These injections are often used to slim the trapezius muscles, which can create a more contoured and feminine shoulder line. This is sometimes referred to as “shoulder slimming.“ - Benefits:
Reduces muscle tension, alleviates shoulder pain, and improves posture. It can also enhance the appearance of the neck and back by creating a smoother silhouette.
- Purpose:
Injections into the gastrocnemius muscles (calf muscles) are used to reduce their bulk, achieving a slimmer and more proportionate leg shape. - Benefits:
Helps with muscle tension and cramps, while also providing a more streamlined appearance for those who feel their calves are overly muscular.
Both treatments are minimally invasive, with results typically visible within a few weeks and lasting several months. They are ideal for individuals seeking subtle changes without surgery. Consulting a qualified practitioner is essential to ensure safety and effectiveness. Would you like to explore more about these treatments?

- Natural Results: HA fillers integrate well with the skin, providing subtle and natural-looking improvements.
