APPEARANCE MEDICINE
SKIN CANCER & MOHS SURGERY
We offer a range of services to keep your skin looking and feeling its best. Everyone’s skin goals are different, which is why we take our time to get to know your skin before developing a treatment plan that best suits your needs.
Our Botox and micro needling facial services are carried out in-house by our highly qualified team of clinicians. Whatever your concerns, our team will talk you through the benefits of both treatments and the best way to achieve your desired results.
BOTOX
Botox injection contains onobotulinumtoxinA and is used to temporarily prevent muscle from moving. The treatment relaxes the muscles beneath the lines where the product has been injected. Botox can be used to treat conditions such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and chronic migraines. Botox injections can also be used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles.
Botox treatments are relatively safe when performed in the correct clinical setting, and by an experienced clinician.
DERMA NEEDLING
Derma Needling, also known as micro-needling is a minimally invasive technique that creates safe and controlled microscopic injuries to the top layer of the skin. This stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin. Furthermore, this technique allows increased absorption of any externally applied products.
At Peggy Chen Skin Cancer and Mohs Surgery, we use the latest and most advanced device – Dermapen 4 ™ which ensures maximal safety and efficacy.
Skin needling services are recommended for treating fine lines, scarring, acne scarring and stretch marks.
FAQs
How does Botox work?
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals needed for facial muscles to contract. The treatment relaxes the muscles beneath the lines where Botox has been injected, and the muscles responsible for other aspects of your facial expression stay active.
What areas can be treated with Botox?
Botox can be used to effectively treat the forehead, between the eyebrows, crows feet, and lip lines. It can also be injected into the jaw to treat teeth grinding and TMJ. To prevent excessive sweating, Botox can be injected into the armpits.
Are Botox and Derma Needling painful?
Botox and Derma needling are not considered to be painful or invasive procedures. Most patients will experience brief discomfort during the injection, or needling, which does not persist once the procedure has finished.
How long does it take to see results?
Botox can take anywhere from 3 days to two weeks to see the effects of Botox and will last for 3-5 months.
For derma needling, we use the latest and most advanced device – Dermapen 4, which is the most comfortable micro-needling treatment available.
Who will be performing my Botox injections?
Botox injections are performed by our experienced registered appearance medicine nurse.
What are the possible side effects of Botox?
Possible side effects or complications may include, pain, swelling, and bruising around the injection site. A post-treatment instruction and care plan will be given to you after your treatment at the clinic.
