Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
Anti-wrinkle treatments are an excellent way to smooth out fine lines and deeper expression lines, leaving your skin looking younger and rejuvenated. Throughout our lives, we laugh, frown and raise our brows. The consistent movement of the facial muscles result in lines, some of which can become more permanent. Botox® can precisely target these lines by relaxing the muscles which softens the lines of natural ageing, giving skin a more youthful complexion. Common areas treated are between the eyebrows to target the frown lines, the forehead and around the eyes.
The treatment is quick and virtually pain free with no downtime required. Results are seen as quickly as 7 days post-treatment and Botox generally lasts up to 4 months. If at the two-week follow up a dose adjustment is required, this would be included at no extra cost.
A full consultation will be undertaken to assess the anatomy of your facial muscles in order to determine the appropriate dose to provide a natural looking smoother appearance. Botox is a safe treatment and the products used are closely regulated. Full information will be provided during the consultation.
Dermal Fillers
During the ageing process, fat pads within the face reduce in volume for a number of reasons, including changes to the muscles and bones of the face. This can result in sunken cheeks and folds within the face. Dermal fillers are made from Hyaluronic Acid, which naturally occurs in our bodies and can be used to restore this volume with an instant effect, while providing lift and contour to the face. Dermal fillers are an excellent choice for filling mouth to nose lines, marionette lines (corners of mouth to chin lines) and fine lines around the mouth. They can also be used to add volume to cheeks to reduce sagging and in the hands to give a more youthful looking appearance.
Dermal fillers contain a local anaesthetic resulting in a more comfortable treatment with instant results. Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers are gradually broken down naturally by the skin and can last up to 12 months depending on the product used.

Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation is one of the most common non-surgical procedures which can add volume to the lips resulting in a plumper and more voluminous lip. During the natural ageing process lips tend to lose both volume and definition. Dermal fillers can be used to make enhancements of both definition and volume giving a natural looking appearance with instant effects.
Dermal fillers contain a local anaesthetic resulting in a more comfortable treatment with instant results. At RP Cosmetics we also provide nerve blocks using local anaesthetic resulting in minimal discomfort. Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers are gradually broken down naturally by the skin and can last up to 6-9 months depending on the product used.
A full consultation will be undertaken to assess the natural contours of your face to determine how the lip enhancement would be accommodated and to discuss what is most important to you. Full information will be provided during the consultation.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty / non-surgical nose job is an effective treatment that involves the use of dermal fillers to correct minor cosmetic imperfections in the nose by remodelling and reshaping the nasal framework. One of the biggest benefit of this treatment compared to the traditional surgical rhinoplasty is that it requires no incision or downtime and is more cost effective.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses dermal fillers to improve the height of the nose, reduced the appearance of any bumps, create the illusion of structural changes and make minor improvements in the overall appearance of the nose. Dermal fillers contain a local anaesthetic resulting in a more comfortable treatment with instant results. Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers are gradually broken down naturally by the skin and can last up to 12 months depending on the product used.

Tear Trough Correction
The nasojugal groove, also known as the “tear trough” is the inner portion of the lower eyelid. Tear troughs can develop due to age-related changes surrounding the eye, such as natural decrease in fatty tissue under the lower eyelid and upper cheek area, loss of skin elasticity, tone and thinning of the skin. These changes can cause the area below the eye to appear hollow and the unevenness of the area can become shadowy, which in turn will look like “dark circles” under the eyes. This can make you look exhausted even when well rested.
After applying a topical anaesthetic cream to numb the treatment area, Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers are injected into the hollow area below the eye until a smooth surface is achieved. There is minimal discomfort during and after the procedure, with minimal downtime required. It is normal for the treated area to appear slightly swollen for a few days and there is a small possibility of bruising.
