Neurotoxins are medications that can be used cosmetically for the treatment of wrinkles. They are known by their commercial names as Botox® Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau. Wrinkles are caused by repeated movement of the facial muscles. Neurotoxins can also be used to help treat conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), chronic migraine and TMJ pain.
How often:
Treatments are usually every 3-4 months with a two week follow up appointment after injection to ensure appropriate response obtained.
TREATMENT TIME: GENERALLY 30 MINS DEPENDING ON NUMBER OF AREAS BEING TREATED.
Neurotoxins
Neurotoxin Botox® can help reduce number of headaches and migraine attacks. If you have not been previously diagnosed with chronic migraines (meet diagnostic criteria and have failed three agents), speak with your primary care provider. If you have a diagnosis of chronic migraine, you will be required to have an initial assessment where a prescription can be written for Botox administration for migraine.
How often:
Axilla: every 3-6 months as needed.
Migraines: every 3 months
TREATMENT TIME: GENERALLY 30-45 MINS DEPENDING ON AREAS BEING TREATED.
Medical Neurotoxins
Neurotoxin (Botox®) can be used to help reduce sweating in the axilla (armpit). This is done by injecting multiple areas within the armpit with neurotoxin. The neurotoxin blocks the nerves that trigger the sweat glands, which provides relief for several months.

PRP treatments utilize your body’s natural growth factors which help to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the areas they are injected. This procedure is also called the “vampire facials”.
Microneedling with PRP application increases the turnover of skin cells, improving skin tone and texture. It can also reduce fine lines and signs of aging. This treatment can be especially helpful for those who suffered from acne and have visible acne scars or skin damage from prolonged exposure to the sun.
TREATMENT TIME: generally 20-30 mins
How does it work?
To create platelet-rich plasma, a blood sample from the patient and placed into a device called a centrifuge. The centrifuge rapidly spins the sample, separating out the other components of the blood from the platelets and concentrating them within the plasma. This stimulates new collagen production (Type I, II, IV) and also stimulates Elastin, Hyaluronic Acid and Fibronectin production in the dermis.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Facial
How often:
It is recommended to have 3-4 treatments every three to four weeks, then every 6-12 months for maintenance if looking to target acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
PRP injections can be effective in treating androgenetic alopecia, both in preventing hair loss and promoting new hair growth.
Blood is collected from patient. After, the blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from red blood cells. The plasma is then injected into the scalp. PRP prolongs the anagen phase (hair growth phase), increases hair follicle size, increases the thickness of epidermis (top layer of skin), and increases the number of follicles of hair in the skin.

Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias or thread veins, are prominent clusters of damaged small blood vessels in the skin. They can appear as red, blue, or purple tortious lines bulging and branching out from a central locus resulting in a spider-like appearance. There are many causes such as crossing your legs, standing for long periods of time, and genetics. These habits that are detrimental to blood circulation can cause vessels to burst and swell.
TREATMENT TIME: generally 30-45 mins
How often:
Multiple sessions may be required. Treatments should be 4-6 weeks apart. Consult required before booking procedure.
Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins
How does it work?
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein, causing it to become irritated and stick together. This, in turn, forces the blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades. Most people report little to no discomfort during their session. The number of veins treated in one session varies and depends on the vein size and location.

Skin Concerns

This causes the skin to increase its elastin and collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of acne scars. Multiple treatments are generally required to see maximal benefit.
Acne
Wrinkles/ Fine lines
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, fat and collagen. This contributes to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Repetitive movements of certain facial muscles also contributes to the development of deeper appearing lines and wrinkes. If you experience fine lines, creases, or wrinkles on your nose, chin, cheeks, or forehead, Glóa Med Aesthetics Skin specializes in neuromodulator treatments. The primary purpose of neuromodulator is to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by limiting the movement of the muscle injected. Common areas for injection in the upper face soften lines in the upper half of the face, particularly forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Neurotoxin treatments are injected into the muscles in the affected areas to reduce wrinkles and lines, tighten the skin and bring back your natural youthful glow.
