Anti-ageing injectables by dermatologists.
Your journey to smooth skin.
Our Philosophy
We offer a variety of anti-ageing injectables administered by experienced Dermatologists in Bristol. It has never been easier and more convenient to smooth out the signs of ageing.
Why anti-ageing injectables?
As we age, our skin loses its collagen and elastin. This natural ageing process contributes to wrinkles, along with damage from daily exposure to sunlight - one of the biggest contributors to ageing.
DermDoc Aesthetics use botulinum toxin (commonly referred to as ‘botox’) to relax those muscles that contribute to wrinkles.
This prevents and helps reduce the signs of ageing.
Common areas that start to show prominent lines over time, include Forehead & Glabella lines & Crows feet. As well as face treatments, we offer botox in the armpits for hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating).
Treatment focus
Common areas on the face that start to show prominent lines over time, include Forehead lines, Glabella lines & Crows feet.
Forehead Lines
Appearing horizontally across the forehead. Injections in this area will leave the skin with a lovely glow.
Glabella Lines
Prominent lines which run vertically between the eyebrows, often referred to as “the 11 lines”.
Crows Feet
Also known as "smile lines", appear around the outer eye area. These can be minimised with botulinum toxin whilst maintaining your natural expression.
The Process
Three simple steps
Consultation
Our initial complimentary consultation will involve our doctors assessing your skin, where you can agree collaboratively the appropriate treatment for you
Treatment
We begin by cleaning your skin, marking up injection sites and then administer injections using Azzalure ® botulinum toxin. We take photographs at each stage for documentation
Aftercare
Following your treatment, you must remain upright and avoid rubbing or massaging the injected area for at least 4 hours. You should avoid strenuous exercise 24 hours afterwards. Aftercare notes for you to take home will be provided
