Dr Bhavin offers clinically-proven injectable treatments to effectively restore and revitalise the skin around the eyes, treating conditions such as dark circles, eye bags and lines and wrinkles.
Obagi Medical Products are the brainchild of award-winning skin Dermal fillers comprise of gel like substances, which contain hyaluronic acid, a synthetic version of a naturally occurring sugar, found in the body, which lubricates and cushions areas such as the eyes, joints, connective tissues and the cells within the skin. When expertly injected in to the crevices which form under the eyes, dermal fillers can plump out these hollows, offering hydration to the skin tissues, physically augmenting the skin and smoothing the under eye area. Eye bags can be effectively reduced and dark circles can be disguised. Results can be seen immediately and can last up to 12 months at a time.
Polynucleotides are the latest revelation in injectable skin healing and restoration. They are DNA fractions, derived from trout and salmon sperm and are thoroughly sterilised prior to being injected in to areas of the skin which require revitalisation. Polynucleotides offer superb results for those who are experiencing skin ageing and degradation and are a great alternative for those patients who are sensitive to injectable products containing hyaluronic acid. Unlike dermal fillers, polynucleotides will not physically augment the skin tissues, but will rather encourage the skin fibroblasts to multiply and generate, and the skin tissues to heal and new collagen and elastin to form over time. Results can last up to 12 months, following a course of treatments, and annual top up treatments are recommended to maintain results.
Before any injectable tear trough or eye treatment can be carried out, Dr Bhavin will ask that you attend a no obligation consultation, skin assessment and medical history check, so we can select the most appropriate option for you and rule out any contraindications which may prevent or restrict your chosen treatment from going ahead. Once Dr Bhavin has assessed your skin and discussed your goals, as well as ensured that you are fit and well for an injectable treatment, he can devise your treatment plan.
When using dermal fillers, it is possible to see the results immediately after your tear trough treatment, though it’s worth considering that there may be some swelling, slight bruising and tenderness in the treatment area for several days and full results are usually seen after 2 weeks, when the product has had time to settle and integrate with the skin tissues. After a treatment (or course of treatment) with polynucleotides, the initial results are seen at around 4 weeks after the first treatment. Depending on how many treatments are recommended by Dr Bhavin, you will most likely experience optimum results at week 4 after your final session.
This depends on your individual response to treatment, your skincare routine and lifestyle choices. However, expect results to last around 8 to 12 months, before a repeat treatment may be required with dermal fillers. Polynucleotides treatments are usually recommended in 6 month intervals to maintain skin resilience, elasticity and hydration.
