| NOT JUST FOR WRINKLES! Although modern cosmetic injections are most famous for treating wrinkles, they were first used in the treatment of opthalmic disorders, and continue to have an ever-increasing variety of more advanced uses, both medical and cosmetic. A vast variety of features can be corrected or improved - from facial assymetry, overlarge calf muscles or crooked smiles. Anti-wrinkle injections are an incredibly versatile and safe way of changing your appearance without resorting to plastic surgery. At Kiora we pride ourselves in performing treatments which make our patients look refreshed and youthful not "Hollywood Plastic!"
FACIAL CONTOURING By selectively targeting the masseter facial muscles (the cheek muscles) Kiora's doctors can cause long term relaxation of these muscles. The muscles gradually recede in size resulting in a more pleasing oval shape to the face. In a similar fashion severe teeth grinders can be treated by relaxing the muscles responsible for the nocturnal teeth grinding.
BROW NOSE AND NOSE CONTOURING Advanced Cosmetic Injections can dramatically change the shape of face by relaxing the muscles "pulling down" on the features. A "brow lift" is performed by relaxing the muscles just underneath the eyebrow - the muscles above the eyebrow are now unopposed and lift the brow higher. In a similar fashion the septal muscles below the nose can be relaxed resulting in an upturned, more "button-like" look . Alternatively, a small amount of dermal filler can be used to give flat noses a sharper, more elegent profile.
CALF REMODELLING Advanced Cosmetic Injections can be used to remodel the calves to present a slimmer and sleeker profile.The medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle of the calf is targeted. The injections are used to relax the calf muscles. Over a 2-3 month period the calf muscles gradually recede in size presenting a sleeker more aesthetically pleasing profile. This technique is very popular in Asia.. |
