Botox & Fillers

Injectables have revolutionized the way we approach facial rejuvenation. Surgical procedures are no longer the sole way to restore youthfulness and vitality. With the precision and artistry of neurotoxins and dermal fillers, we can sculpt, refine and rejuvenate the face with minimal invasiveness and downtime.

At Aesthetic Polyclinic, we believe in the power of these treatments not just to enhance appearances but also to strengthen one’s inner sense of well-being. Contact us today to book your consultation in Abu Dhabi, Dubai or Al Ain.

What Are Neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins, often recognised by the brand name Botox, are purified proteins derived from a bacterium. These proteins have the unique ability to temporarily block communication between nerve endings and muscles. When administered in controlled amounts, neurotoxins prevent the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. This results in the relaxation of the targeted muscles, thereby reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements.

The beauty of neurotoxins lies in their precision. Their impact is limited to the specific treated muscles, while the surrounding tissues remain unaffected. This targeted approach allows for a natural and refreshed appearance, without compromising the dynamism and expressiveness of the face.

Which Neurotoxins Are Available at Aesthetic Polyclinic?

Botox

Botox is a well-established neurotoxin with both cosmetic and therapeutic applications. An injection session typically takes just 10 to 20 minutes and requires no downtime, allowing you to return immediately to your usual activities. The results last three to four months on average and gradually diminish as muscle action returns. For sustained benefits, regular follow-up treatments are required.

Dysport

Dysport is a newer injectable neuromodulator. Though it is similar to Botox in many ways, Dysport has a lighter, more diluted formulation that can allow it to spread to a broader area after injection. This may make it a preferable option for treating larger regions. Dysport may also offer quicker results, with some patients observing improvements several days earlier than Botox typically shows results.

What Are the Benefits of Botox?

When administered by skilled hands, the results of Botox and Dysport treatments are natural and refined. The face retains its expressiveness, ensuring that you still look like you, only rejuvenated. Regular treatments can not only address existing lines but also act as a preventive measure, inhibiting the deepening of wrinkles or the formation of new wrinkles over time.

Treatments often take less than 30 minutes. There is no downtime post-treatment and minimal requirements for aftercare. With their ability to fit into busy lifestyles, neurotoxins are a favored choice for those seeking impactful results without prolonged recovery. Botox and Dysport can be combined with many other aesthetic procedures to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Who Is a Candidate for Botox Treatments?

Botox and Dysport are suitable for a wide range of clients. You may be a candidate for these treatments if:

Your concerns align with the cosmetic and/or medical uses of neurotoxins outlined above
You desire a minimally-invasive, non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation
You are generally in good health, free from neuromuscular disorders and not pregnant or breastfeeding
You understand the benefits, risks, recovery and typical results of neurotoxin treatments

While often associated with mature skin, younger individuals are increasingly interested in Botox and Dysport treatments as a preventive measure against the onset of dynamic wrinkles. Whether you are noticing the first signs of expression lines or are looking to soften established wrinkles, neurotoxins can be tailored to your age and needs.

Schedule Appointment

What Is the Treatment Process?

Your treatment begins with an in-depth consultation. Our esteemed practitioners will engage in a dialogue with you, getting to know your concerns, your aesthetic goals and your facial dynamics. This ensures a treatment plan tailored to your precise needs.

After your skin is cleansed and sterilised, the neurotoxin is delicately injected into the predetermined sites. Our providers blend scientific technique with artistic vision to optimise results while preserving facial expressiveness. Once the treatment concludes, you will be provided with aftercare instructions to maximise the longevity and impact of your results.

Is Downtime Expected After a Botox Treatment?

Immediately after an appointment, you may notice slight redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. You may return to work or social activities right away or as soon as you are comfortable with your appearance.

To minimise potential side effects, avoid strenuous physical activity and excessive heat exposure for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. We also recommend avoiding extreme facial movements, massaging the treated areas and vigorous application of makeup or skincare products for a day or two. This ensures the neurotoxin settles well.

What Is the Typical Onset and Duration of Results?

You may begin to see the results of your Botox or Dysport treatment within three to five days, with full results typically apparent by two weeks. Expression lines are elegantly softened, giving your skin a smoother and more youthful appearance while retaining natural facial movements.

Results usually last between three and five months, depending on individual factors. Regular touch-up sessions with your favourite provider at Aesthetic Polyclinic can maintain and even enhance these effects.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are smooth, gel-like substances used to fill lines, add volume to the skin and highlight your favourite features. Many are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally occurring in the human body. This remarkable molecule has the ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it a vital player in skin hydration and volume. Other fillers are made with ingredients that promote collagen production to plump and strengthen the skin.

Dermal fillers are one of the most versatile treatments in aesthetic medicine. Each filler is crafted with a distinct texture, density and injection depth in mind, allowing providers to target specific concerns with precision and efficiency.

Belotero

Belotero is a hyaluronic acid filler formulated to integrate seamlessly into the natural tissues of the skin.

Treatment areas include the smile lines, lip lines, perioral lines, chin wrinkles and tear troughs.

What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers provide a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures that lift, sculpt and rejuvenate. There is no need for incisions, anesthesia or extended downtime, and the effects can last anywhere from six months to two years depending on the product used. Many dermal fillers, particularly those based on hyaluronic acid, are biocompatible and have a well-established safety profile, offering peace of mind with each treatment.

One of the most compelling attributes of dermal fillers is the immediacy of their impact. Post-treatment, the enhanced contours, restored volume and softened lines are instantly visible. Certain fillers offer the additional benefit of stimulating natural collagen production, improving skin health and elasticity in the long run.

Who Is a Candidate for Dermal Filler Treatments?

Most healthy individuals are candidates for dermal fillers. You may be a good candidate if:

You have aesthetic concerns dermal fillers are designed to treat
You are physically healthy
You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
You are not allergic to any ingredients in the products
You have realistic expectations of the treatment benefits, risks, recovery and results

What Is the Treatment Process?

All filler treatments begin with a thorough consultation. This is your opportunity to discuss your aesthetic concerns and learn more about the treatment options available to you at Aesthetic Polyclinic. Our providers will analyse your facial structure and familiarise themselves with your goals, then recommend the most suitable filler types and techniques.

To start the treatment, your provider will thoroughly cleanse the target area to ensure a sterile environment. Using an ultra-fine needle or cannula, they will administer the dermal filler into the area, applying a precise technique, depth and amount of product. Post-injection, the treated area might be gently massaged to ensure even distribution of the filler and to mould it to the desired shape.

Is Downtime Expected After a Dermal Filler Treatment?

It is common to experience some degree of redness, swelling and tenderness in the treated areas immediately post-treatment. These are natural and temporary reactions as your skin acclimates to the newly introduced filler. If bruising occurs, it typically fades within a week and can be concealed with makeup after the initial 24 hours.

Most clients can resume their daily activities immediately; however, it’s advisable to avoid strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure and hot environments such as saunas for at least 24 to 48 hours. Refrain from massaging or applying pressure to the treated areas for a minimum of 24 hours to allow the filler to settle.

What Is the Typical Onset and Duration of Results?

Dermal fillers offer both immediate and enduring results. Directly after the procedure, you will see a noticeable difference in the treated areas. As any minor swelling subsides and the filler integrates seamlessly with the skin’s natural matrix, the results become more refined, reaching their final appearance around two weeks post-treatment.

The longevity of dermal filler results varies depending on the type of filler used, the area treated and individual metabolic factors. On average, hyaluronic acid fillers last six to 18 months, while collagen-stimulating fillers can offer results lasting up to 2 years or more. Over time, your body naturally metabolises the filler components and your results gradually fade.
