Treatments at GIA

Botox is a well-established and effective treatment for chronic migraines, helping to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. Unlike its cosmetic use, it works by targeting the nerve pathways involved in pain transmission.

When injected into specific areas of the head and neck, Botox blocks the release of chemicals (neurotransmitters) that carry pain signals between nerves. This helps to calm overactive pain pathways and can help reduce both the frequency and severity of migraine episodes over time.

The procedure involves a series of small, superficial injections and is generally well tolerated, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. Results may begin to develop within the first few days, with continued improvement over subsequent treatments. This treatment can provide significant, long-lasting relief from chronic migraines, helping to improve daily function and overall quality of life.

Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines, helping to create a smoother, more refreshed appearance. It works by blocking the nerve signals that cause these muscles to contract, allowing the overlying skin to soften and reducing the appearance of dynamic lines such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.

While Botox is highly effective at smoothing dynamic wrinkles, deeper static lines may be softened but not completely eliminated.

The treatment involves a series of small, precise injections and is safe and minimally invasive, with little to no downtime. Results typically begin to appear within a few days, with full effects developing over 10–14 days, and usually last around 3–4 months. Repeat treatments can help maintain a consistent, natural-looking result.

Botox is a prescription-only medication and will only be administered following a full consultation.

Dermal fillers are advanced injectable treatments used to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and soften lines while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance.

As we age, the skin gradually loses collagen, elasticity, and volume, which can lead to hollowing, fine lines, and changes in facial structure. Dermal fillers work by carefully replenishing this lost volume and supporting the skin, helping to restore a fresher, more youthful look.

Treatments are highly tailored, focusing on subtle enhancements  that respect your natural features rather than altering them.

Botox is a well-established and highly effective treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), helping to regulate overactive sweat glands. When carefully injected into targeted areas—such as the underarms, hands, forehead, or to manage menopausal flushing—it works by blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat production. As a result, the glands become less active, leading to a significant reduction in perspiration.

The procedure involves a series of small, superficial injections and is generally well tolerated, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. Results typically begin to appear within a few days, with full effects developing shortly after, and can last between 4 to 6 months.

This treatment offers reliable, long-lasting relief from excessive sweating, helping to improve comfort, confidence, and overall quality of life.

Botox treatment for bruxism is a highly effective, non-surgical option to relieve discomfort and protect long-term dental health.

Bruxism is often caused by overactive masseter muscles (the muscles responsible for chewing), which can lead to jaw pain, headaches, tooth wear, and tension in the face, particularly during sleep. Botox works by gently relaxing these muscles, reducing the intensity of clenching without affecting normal function such as speaking or eating.

Restore hydration, improve skin quality, and stimulate natural regeneration with advanced injectable skin treatments designed to rejuvenate the skin from within.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add structure or volume, skin boosters and polynucleotides focus on improving overall skin health — enhancing hydration, elasticity, texture, and radiance for naturally refreshed-looking skin.

What Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid treatments that deeply hydrate the skin and improve overall skin quality. They work beneath the surface to restore moisture, smooth fine lines, and improve luminosity without creating added volume or changing facial shape.

These treatments are ideal for:

• Dehydrated or dull skin

• Fine lines and crepey texture

• Loss of elasticity

• Tired-looking skin

• Preventative skin ageing

• Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.

What Are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are regenerative injectable treatments that stimulate tissue repair and support collagen and elastin production at a cellular level.

They are particularly effective for delicate or damaged skin and are commonly used to improve:

• Under-eye darkness and crepey skin

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Skin texture and tone

• Redness and inflammation

• Overall skin integrity and healing

Polynucleotides are popular for patients wanting natural skin rejuvenation with long-term skin health benefits.
