Laser vs Injectables

Many women are now aware of the anti-ageing impact of cosmetic injectables such as dermal filler and wrinkle relaxers (botulinum toxin). Certainly, great results can be achieved through these modalities and they can be used in a subtle way to give a fresher look.

Laser is probably less well understood. The following are advantages of considering laser treatments to freshen up your look.

While laser treatments may seem expensive, if you consider that you will pay $500-$750 per treatment over 2-3 treatments and then not require another treatment for up to 18 – 24 months this is cost affective compared to having 2ml of dermal filler that will wear off after 6-12 months and cost almost $1000. Wrinkle relaxers wear off after 3-4 months and need regular top ups.

Laser treatments do no require any injectables and therefore do not carry the same risks of injectables such as allergy and infection or even the risk of obstructing a blood vessel when using dermal filler. Laser treatments are comfortable.

Laser treatments can be done to target individual areas or can target the entire face, neck and décolletage as a whole, rather than focusing on specific areas only such as the cheeks or lips.

Smooth eye treatments are available, as well as lip plumping treatments, and these are done with local anaesthetic creams making treatments comfortable and giving natural results.
