Smooth dynamic wrinkles and prevent future ones — refresh your expression without freezing your personality.
Lift, volumize, and contour cheeks, lips, jawline, or under‑eyes with hyaluronic acid-based fillers for natural results.
Boost skin regeneration, hydration & elasticity — ideal for skin quality, subtle rejuvenation and glow.
Botox® is an FDA‑approved injectable used to smooth facial wrinkles and frown lines for a refreshed, youthful appearance. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Targeted injections are administered (often around forehead, brows, eyes or other areas) — treatment time about 10–20 minutes. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Typical uses include horizontal forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s‑feet, bunny lines, downturned corners of the mouth, neck bands, and other dynamic wrinkles. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Results emerge soon after treatment, with minimal downtime — you can resume normal activities the same day. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} Approximate effect lasts about 3–4 months. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Dermal fillers use hyaluronic‑acid-based gels to restore volume, enhance contours and smooth deeper lines instantly. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
The filler gel is injected into targeted areas such as cheeks, lips, jawline or under‑eyes for volumizing, contouring or rejuvenation. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
For immediate volume, enhanced facial contours, subtle but noticeable rejuvenation — without the invasiveness of surgery. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Results are visible right after treatment. Duration depends on area treated and individual factors; typical fillers at clinics like Avané offer effects that can last several months to over a year depending on lifestyle and area treated. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
This treatment uses polynucleotide-based skin boosters (like “FillArt”) derived from salmon‑sperm DNA — aimed at deep skin regeneration, improving elasticity, hydration and overall skin health rather than instant volumizing. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Injected into the dermis, polynucleotides stimulate collagen production, promote skin repair, improve hydration and elasticity, and gradually enhance skin quality over several weeks. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
Useful for skin rejuvenation in delicate areas — under‑eyes (fine lines & thinning), neck & décolletage (tightening), hands (elasticity and volume), post‑laser recovery, and general skin quality improvement. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
Often requires a series of treatments (e.g. 3–4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart) for best results. Maintenance may be recommended every 6–12 months depending on skin condition and lifestyle. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
They may continue to grow and thus cover relatively large areas of skin. They can be itchy and painful. Keloid scar treatment generally is time consuming because they are difficult to treat effectively.
Healthcare professionals make a distinction between minor and major keloids. A minor keloid is a focally raised, itchy scar that extends over normal tissue. It may develop up to one year after injury and does not reduce in size without treatment. A major keloid grows over normal tissue and can continue to extend for years.
There aren't many over-the-counter keloid scar treatment options because of the low response of this type of scar tissue to treatment. Actually the only home remedy would be silicone sheeting.
However results of silicone sheeting as a keloids treatment are inconstant. Some keloids regress while in other cases silicone sheeting has little to no effect on keloid scars. I guess the best chance on removing a keloid with silicones is to start treating it as it is still small. Silicones are also used as a prevention measure.
When silicone sheeting doesn't work steroid injections (also referred to as intralesional steroids or corticosteroids) might offer a solution. Although this treatment is relatively safe it can be slightly painful. There are also some possible side effects. The scar may become depressed (skin atrophy), discolorization, and increased scar redness might occur. Steroid injections are usually given each 4 to 6 weeks until the keloid has flattened.
Sometimes steroid injections are administered in conjunction with laser treatment and cryotherapy (freezing). Cryotherapy is done with liquid nitrogen. This treatment may flatten keloid scars but often darkens the tissue.
Prevention is always key and if you have known risk factors for developing keloids, you may want to avoid getting body piercings, unnecessary surgeries, and tattoos.
When they occur, diagnosis is important by a doctor's visual exam, or by performing a biopsy to rule out other conditions, such as a cancerous cell. This involves taking a small sample of tissue from the scarred area and analyzing it for cancerous cells.
At Avane Clinic we do proper diagnosis and treatment for Keloids through surgery or laser with radiology input to prevent any further occurrences.
