Her anti wrinkle injections are perfect for fine lines & wrinkles, crows feet and frown lines.

Ellansé does so much more than correct lines and folds. It's a dual-action dermal filler that works deep under the skin to treat the real causes of facial ageing by stimulating the production of the body's natural collagen.

Combining smooth PCL microspheres with a CMC-based carrier gel, Ellansé gets to work immediately, filling the areas affected by volume loss. Then, the microspheres degrade over time - leaving behind collagen structures that steadily rebuild and reshape facial contours to restore the youthful infrastructure of the skin.

Skin boosters are a new excellent treatment to boost the skin and give a beautiful rejuvenated look. It acts as an internal moisturiser or skin booster to improve skin quality, texture, and appearance. It is perfect for treating dull, tired-looking skin; fine lines and wrinkles; and areas of skin damage, for example from acne or sun damage. Skin boosters do not act like dermal fillers. They are made from lightweight hyaluronic acid gel which is placed into the skin layers to hydrate the skin and stimulate new natural collagen production. Injections of skin boosters are placed in the areas of concern at the skin level and not deeper (like dermal fillers). The lightweight hyaluronic acid molecules writhing the skin booster will then draw in water and moisture from the body to hydrate the area of skin that has been treated. The effects of the treatment usually take up to 4 weeks and can last up to 9 months to give the skin a more plump and healthier glow.

Dr Pradnya uses the treatment of Botox as a very successful preventative treatment for patients suffering from chronic migraine. It’s thought that the treatment blocks the chemicals (neurotransmitters) that carry pain signals before they reach the nerve endings and indirectly blocks the development of migraine. Botox is like a roadblock in that pathway. It stops the chemicals before they get to the nerve endings around your head and neck. Following a consultation with Dr Pradnya she can best advise on how many injections may be required and the frequency of reviews.

Dr Pradnya uses the treatment of Botox to effectively disable the eccrine and apocrine glands and prevent them from producing and secreting sweat from the body. Small doses of Botox are injected in a grid pattern into the affected area which blocks the actions of the nerves that supply the sweat glands, which can prevent the glands from producing sweat. Dr Pradnya has found many patients who suffer from excess sweating have found great relief from this treatment.
