Elanamie COMBINATION THERAPY

- A WINNING FORMULA from €600

A growing trend in aesthetic medicine is for a combination therapy approach to rejuvenation and correction, and toxin and fillers are one such winning combination. The latest research has found that the two procedures have equal applications, but together, they can produce a synergistic effect that last longer and looks better (see research papers below).

The key ingredient is comprehensive facial analysis. We have unique faces, skin, musculature and wrinkles. We all age differently. One size, emphatically, does not fit all.

Don't get caught up with "number of units" and pricing per area. We feel that can be too crude a metric for a medical procedure on your face.

25 units of Toxin injected into one face or one area is entirely different from 25 units of Toxin injected into the right spots for you.

Many of the changes that have taken place in approaches to facial rejuvenation have come about because of increased understanding of facial aging, expansion in the numbers and types of products available, and associated refinements in aesthetic goals—specifically, providing a balanced, harmonious, and natural look. 

Neurotoxins, work on the underlying muscle structures under the skin. The muscles not only provide movement, but affect our facial positioning and expressions. Certain large muscles such as those in the jawline, around the lips and eyes, as well as the forehead areas, can change the entire facial structure noticeably. Deep frown lines can make a person look permanently angry, while pronounced jaw muscles can give someone a belligerent or argumentative demeanor. Proper usage of Toxin not only relaxes the facial expression, but also can give a more pleasant, uplifted look.

Dermal fillers work hand in hand with Toxin to restore fullness to areas that are sunken or lined, and also help to reshape and redefine the overall facial structure. By combining fillers with Toxin, the volume of both substances can be reduced to achieve a more natural, harmonious look.

Many patients find that in areas of the face that are in constant motion, such as in the mouth area, fillers do not last very long, as the muscle motion works to break up the fillers faster. A combination treatment including Toxin decreases muscle activity, so that the Fillers are not broken down so quickly.

The synergistic effect of Toxin and Fillers is such that the combination of both is better than either treatment alone, and it has been theorized that effects of this dual-treatment lasts longer because the collagen production stimulated by fillers help the skin to form correctly in a way that muscle movement would have disturbed.

At Elanamie Clinic we use vials of Dermal Filler with a sprinkle effect of Anti Wrinkle injections and have four very popular combinations. The type of Dermal Filler used is decided in the consultation after a facial assessment as many factors determine which fillers or combination of fillers are ideal. 

Elanamie REFRESH PACKAGE €600

This uses a standard ampoule of Dermal filler (1.0ml) and an average of 30 units of Anti Wrinkle Injections drugs. We use the Toxin where needed as support for the Dermal Filler as opposed to being tied to particular areas. This is appropriate for moderate lines. It works to give support at a deeper level to smooth out lines. The Toxin reduces the muscle action to allow the filler to last longer and stay in the correct position. The Dermal Filler part lasts 9 months approximately and the Toxin needs to be topped up on average at 4 months.  The facial analysis at consultation is vital to get the ideal treatment combination designed specially for each client.
