How does it Work?

The brand name for botulinum toxin type A. When injected in small doses into specific muscles, it blocks the chemical signals that cause muscles to contract. When the muscles can't tighten, the skin flattens and appears smoother and less wrinkled.

How are the injections done?

At EMC, our doctors use a thin needle to inject tiny amounts of the medicine into specific muscles by carefully choosing the muscles to treat. The doctor weakens only the wrinkle-producing muscles to preserve your natural facial expressions.

The number of injections needed depends on many factors, including your facial features, the extent of the wrinkling and the specific area being treated. For example, crow's-feet usually require two to five injections. Furrows in your forehead could take eight or more injections.

The injections take about 5 to 10 minutes and are usually done in a procedure room.

What can you expect after the procedure?

The injections require no downtime; you can resume your normal daily activities immediately. You may have headache for a few hours after the treatment. Take care though, not to rub or massage the treated areas. This can cause the medicine to migrate to a different area of your face. If this happens, temporary facial weakness or drooping is possible.

You'll notice results within a few days, but the full effect takes about two weeks. Results aren't permanent. However, once it has taken effect, it takes three to six months for the affected muscles to begin functioning again. So, to maintain your look, you need follow-up injections every 3-6 months.

What are the side effects and risks?

The procedure is relatively safe when performed by an experienced doctor, however, side effects and complications can occur. These include: Pain and bruising at the injection site, redness, headache, flu-like symptoms, nausea, temporary facial weakness or drooping.

How much does it Cost?

The cost depends on the size of the area treated and the amount of injection required.

The doctor begins your peel by cleansing your skin to remove all oils, dirt and soap traces. Then, the chemical is carefully applied to the appropriate areas using a swab applicator.

The entire procedure usually takes from 15 minutes to an hour depending upon the extent and type of peel used.

The Miracle Gas - Reduce Dark Circles & Fine Lines aroung eyes.
CO2 RioJuvenation Therapy is one of the latest procedures that EMC introduced for the treatment of dark circles and fine lines around the eyes. CO2 ReJuvenation System gradually administers controlled amounts of sterile, medical-grade carbon dioxide via microinjections just beneath the surface of the skin.

How Does CO2 Rejuvenation Therapy work?

The introduction of CO2 into the dermis results in vasodilation, as the body attempts to correct what it considers an imbalance in the O2/ CO2 balance. The increased blood flow creates a surge of oxygen and nutrients, which fosters cell and collagen restoration and reduction of localized adipose.

How CO2 Rejuvenation system administered?

The CO2 RioJuvenation System gently introduces small amounts of sterile, medical-grade CO2 via a 0.3mm needle. The gas can be set to flow continuously or in pulses from 0 to 150 ml/mn, and the temperature of the gas can be adjusted from room temperature to 50 degrees celsius. Treatments take from 15 minutes to over an hour, depending on the size of the area and type of condition being treated.

Is carbon dioxide harmful or toxic?

A natural by-product of respiration, CO2 is present in every cell in the body. RioJuvenation introduces very small amounts of gas. By contrast, medical procedures like colonoscopy and laparoscopy introduce thousands of times more volume of CO2 to the body with no adverse effects. Some patients may experience mild discomfort; most patients report a “tingling” sensation, followed by a ‘pleasant warmth”.

What should a patient avoid after treatment?

RioJuvenation therapy requires no recovery time. As a precaution following treatment it is recommended that patients avoid strenuous physical activity for 2 hours and submerging in water for 4 hours.

How many treatments required to achieve good result?

The therapy requires, on average, between 4 and 12 treatments, on a monthly basis (depending on the condition and area being treated).Most people observe improvement after the first treatment, though it usually takes up to one month for the body to properly react to the process.

What is Thread Lift Therapy

The needle is inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the skin, and when it is taken out, the threads remain implanted in the skin.

It is an excellent and effective cosmetic technique to lift and tighten sagging skin tissues.

Will the procedure be uncomfortable?

You will have local anaesthetic cream applied to the lower face for half an hour prior to the procedure. We will then inject local anaesthetic to the parts of the face that can feel a little sore.
