Treatments available at Skin Sense GP Clinic are:

Anti wrinkle injections

BotulinumtoxinA is really effective at stopping frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet. It works by reducing the signals, which cause the muscle contractions therefore preventing the wrinkles. Treating only the offending muscle ensures you do not get a “frozen” look, just natural and refreshed. You will notice the results within 10 days and lasts 3-4 months generally.

Dermal Fillers

Made of hyaluronic acid, 99% the same as you naturally have in your skin, today’s fillers are safe and extremely effective at removing or softening lines and wrinkles such as nose to mouth lines, “smokers” lines and plumping cheeks and lips. Results are instant and generally last for 6- 12 months.

Microdermabrasion

For reducing fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, pigmentation and open pores microdermabrasion can really help. It uses crystals to remove rough, dead surface skin, stimulates collagen production leaving fresher, younger looking smooth skin.

Skin Peels

Resurfacing skin peels also remove rough, damaged surface skin to create a smooth, flawless complexion. There are different strengths of peels from the mild, no down time ones to the higher strength TCA peels for more severely damaged skin.

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is an injection treatment that delivers nourishing substances to the layers of the skin where cell repair and growth occurs. Vitamins, amino-acids, minerals, hyaluronic acid, all essential components for healthy skin cells, can be delivered by mesotherapy. This treatment helps improve dull, tired looking skin; dry, lifeless skin & superficial wrinkles

PRP

PRP has high levels of tissue growth and regeneration factors, which are vital for tissue rejuvenation. It helps collagen formation and improves blood supply to tissue. Your skin texture will improve as PRP stimulates new skin tissue growth. Also used for hair loss.

Aqualyx

For the removal of stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet or exercise. It consists of injecting the solution into localised fat deposits in areas such as saddlebags, thighs, stomach, chin and knees. Aqualyx® liquefies the fat cells, destroying it permanently, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.
