READY<br />
to glow<br />
We talk to the team at Face Value about a<br />
special treatment that will take from you<br />
camera shy to camera ready.<br />
A “camera ready” treatment sounds like what every woman<br />
desires… what does this treatment involve?<br />
We use a tailored blend of hyaluronic acid, amino acids and<br />
vitamins combined with botulinum toxin to hydrate and give your<br />
skin that “camera ready” glow.<br />
The hyaluronic acid is a natural moisturiser, which hydrates and<br />
nourishes the skin, while the diluted botulinum toxin (Botox®<br />
or Dysport®) acts on the superficial layer of the facial muscles,<br />
smoothing fine lines and decreasing the action of sweat and<br />
sebaceous glandts. This improves the sheen of the skin, smoothes<br />
the surface and tightens pores. It improves dull, lifeless skin and<br />
softens superficial wrinkles.<br />
How and where is it applied?<br />
Via the V2 Injector gun, which delivers precise doses to the skin<br />
– most commonly on the face, neck and chest. The added benefit<br />
of this needling delivery system is that it further encourages the<br />
regeneration of your own collagen and elastin.<br />
How long does it last?<br />
You will see results in 5–14 days. Most clients find they get around<br />
six months gain, although results will vary.<br />
Does it hurt?<br />
Most clients experience mild discomfort only, although we can<br />
apply topical anaesthetic if preferred.<br />
Is there downtime post-treatment?<br />
Your skin will be pink for a couple of days and some people can<br />
have small areas of pinpoint bruising, easily disguised by mineral<br />
makeup. Some clients have small bumps under the skin for 24 hours.<br />
So while it’s not one of those treatments where you can go straight<br />
back to the office, most tell-tale signs settle within 24–48 hours.<br />
Can we go back for more?<br />
You will certainly want to! We recommend repeating the<br />
treatment every six months in order to maintain and maximise the<br />
benefit to your skin.<br />
What’s one piece of beauty advice you wish every woman knew?<br />
Prevention is definitely better than cure! Start earlier and hydrate<br />
and care for your skin to prevent formation of fine lines and<br />
pigment changes.<br />
