Wrinkles often deepen with time. The wrinkles around your eyes or in the forehead/frown areas often start out as fine lines. However, if left untreated these fine lines can develop over time into permanent, deeper lines.
Revitalize and invigorate facial characteristics with anti-wrinkle treatments. By easing the underlying muscle, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed, revealing a naturally youthful look while also thwarting the development of deeper, more lasting wrinkles.
What exactly is Botox?
Well, Anti-Wrinkle Injections, commonly referred to as Botox, utilize a toxin naturally produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. This toxin finds wide application in both aesthetic and medical practices for various treatments. According to the 2020 Global Survey by ISAPS, Botox treatments constituted 43.2% of non-surgical procedures conducted throughout the year.
Primarily employed in the aesthetics realm, Botox works by relaxing overactive facial muscles, thereby diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Additionally, it serves therapeutic purposes in addressing medical conditions like excessive sweating, chronic migraines, and eye spasms. Beyond wrinkle reduction, Botox injections are utilized for diverse purposes such as enhancing ‘gummy smiles’, managing hyperhidrosis, and achieving a non-surgical mini facelift, often termed the ‘Nefertiti lift’.
With a commendable safety track record spanning over four decades, anti-wrinkle injections offer a compelling alternative to surgical face lifts, which often entail lengthy recovery periods. The effects of Botox persist for several months and tend to yield a more natural outcome compared to surgical options. While botulinum toxin exists in nature as a toxin, the version used in aesthetic treatments is thoroughly purified, devoid of contaminants, and administered in minute doses.
For those curious about anti-wrinkle treatments or seeking consultation, reaching out or exploring the Frequently Asked Questions section can provide valuable insights. Additionally, detailed information about Botox is available on the NHS website.

How does Botox actually work?
Botox, one of the most recognizable brands of botulinum toxin injections, serves myriad beauty and health purposes. While numerous brands have emerged, Botox remains the original. In Timeless Grace Studio I am only working with BOTOX.
Botulinum toxins, classified as neurotoxins, impact nerves, inducing muscle weakness. Healthcare practitioners strategically inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscles to smooth wrinkles, prevent migraine headaches, alleviate sweating (hyperhidrosis), and manage a wide array of health conditions.
Regarding safety, when administered by a licensed aesthetic practitional like myself, Botox is considered highly safe. However, it’s crucial to conduct thorough research when selecting an aesthetics practitioner and ensure they possess some form of licensed qualification.
Now, does Botox cause discomfort? Generally, the needles employed for Botox injections are exceptionally small, resulting in minimal to no discomfort during the procedure. Some individuals may report a slight pinching or stinging sensation, which is typical when penetrating the skin and muscles during injections.
Derma filler
What are and Why to consider them?
Are you noticing a loss of definition in your lips, making you appear older? Discover how dermal fillers can address this issue!
What exactly are dermal fillers?
Derived from Hyaluronic Acid, a natural substance found in the skin responsible for nourishment and support, dermal fillers combat volume loss and lines, two telltale signs of aging. As our production of Hyaluronic Acid diminishes with age and lifestyle factors, dermal fillers step in to replenish it. There’s a variety of dermal fillers available, tailored to address the depth of lines and desired results, determined through consultation.
Administered via pre-filled syringes, the filler is gently injected beneath troublesome lines following the application of a topical anaesthetic cream. Results are immediate, with duration varying between 6 to 15 months, depending on the product used and individual lifestyle factors.
Is dermal filler treatment suitable for me?
If you’re experiencing static lines in the lower face such as Nasolabial folds (from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth) or Marionette lines (from the corners of the mouth towards the jaw), or seeking to enhance volume in the cheeks or lips, this treatment could be an excellent option for you.
Before undergoing the procedure, a comprehensive consultation will be conducted to understand your objectives and assess your suitability for the treatment. While dermal fillers typically have few contraindications, it’s essential to disclose if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have any skin infections (including cold sores), or certain allergies. Additionally, providing information about any medications you’re currently taking is crucial, as some may increase the risk of bruising post-treatment.
What exactly are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring component in your skin responsible for providing plumpness and volume. As we age, we may experience a loss of volume, which dermal fillers aim to address. They are utilized to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles and enhance facial features. Common treatment areas include nose-to-mouth lines, marionette lines, cheeks, tear troughs, and lips.
Dermal fillers are highly sought-after at our clinic due to their ability to yield immediate results. They rejuvenate the face by reducing the visibility of lines and wrinkles while also adding volume and hydration to combat signs of aging.
Interested in learning more about our dermal fillers or scheduling a free consultation appointment? Feel free to reach out to us at Timeless Grase – Ipswich(waterfront), Suffolk.
Why are Dermal Fillers Utilized?
As part of the natural aging process, the body begins to produce less collagen, an essential substance found throughout the body, including the skin, muscles, bones, and connective tissues. Reduced collagen levels result in skin laxity and volume loss.
Dermal fillers serve to address various concerns, including:
- Adding volume to lax or sagging skin
- Enhancing facial symmetry
- Plumping lips, cheeks, and areas around the nose
- Smoothing wrinkles and lines on the face
Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
Indeed, Dermal Fillers are considered safe since hyaluronic acid is already naturally present in the body. However, there are associated risks with filler injections. Therefore, it’s crucial to seek treatment only from a qualified medical professional (Nurse, Doctor, or Dentist). They possess the expertise to understand facial anatomy and provide necessary support in case of any side effects.
Skin boosters
What exactly they are and why are very popular?
Hyaluronic Acid based and Polynucleotides
Skin boosters are designed to rejuvenate, hydrate, and address skin laxity.
Hyaluronic acid baced ones like Profhilo, REVS Pro, Lumi Pro and others are formulated with hyaluronic acid, a natural component present in our skin. As we age, the decline in hyaluronic acid levels leads to the emergence of lines, wrinkles, dull skin, and laxity.
Distinguishing themself from dermal fillers, Skin booster doesn’t aim to add volume or relax muscles like Botox. Instead, its high concentration of hyaluronic acid works to remodel the skin, delivering impressive results. Administered just beneath the skin’s surface in two to tree sessions spaced two to 4 weeks apart, Skin boosters yields remarkable outcomes on the cheeks, neck, chest, and décolletage. Results typically become noticeable next day but the best outcome is visible four weeks post-treatment and can last up to six to weight months.
Its very popular treatment and I frequently conduct it at Timeless Grace Ipswich(water front), Suffolk.
How do Skin boosters function?
Comprising 100% synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA), its ingredients penetrate deep into the skin to replenish moisture and plumpness, surpassing the effectiveness of topical or externally applied moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid. They not only hydrates and boosts the skin but also significantly reduces fine lines and revitalizes sagging, aging skin.
Following initial treatment, effects typically last between 4-6 months. It’s advisable to commence with two to 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, then monitor results thereafter. Many clients find they require a Skin booster top-up once or twice a year post-initial treatment.
Which areas the Skin boosters address?
Commonly utilized for facial regions including:
- Top of the cheeks
- Nasolabial fold
- Laughter lines
- Mouth and chin
- Neck rejuvenation
- Décolletage
- Back of the hands
It can be applied across various skin areas to rejuvenate and impart a radiant, fresh appearance.
What are the risks associated with Profhilo?
The risk associated with the injectable skin booster treatment is minimal. However, when administering facial injections, it’s essential to ensure your aesthetics practitioner possesses expertise in facial anatomy and can provide relevent diploms. I recommend seeking treatment from a qualified and lincesed aesthetics practitioner.
What exactly are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotide treatment, introduces a novel line of bio-stimulating high-viscosity gels derived from natural polynucleotides—the fundamental building blocks of DNA. These gels are meticulously formulated to rejuvenate and safeguard the skin.
By stimulating fibroblasts—cells crucial for connective tissue formation—this treatment fosters tissue repair, prompting the body to generate collagen, thereby yielding a smoother, more natural skin appearance. Additionally, it addresses DNA damage attributed to external factors like sun exposure and pollution, as well as internal factors such as aging and scarring. It effectively diminishes the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, while imbuing the skin with a hydrated look and imparting a lifting effect.
Polynucleotide under-eye treatment represents a pioneering approach to under-eye rejuvenation. Offering a distinctive blend of revitalizing properties, Polynucleotides serve as an alternative to conventional under-eye fillers. Their multifaceted benefits aim to bestow a radiant and rejuvenated appearance, tackling concerns like dark under-eye circles, crow’s feet, dehydrated skin, and inadequate under-eye circulation.
Unlike tear-trough filler, Polynucleotide treatment provides an array of advantages for individuals seeking to enhance their under-eye area, including brightening, smoothing, and color correction of dark circles.
We routinely administer Polynucleotide under-eye treatment at Timless Grasse Ipswich, Suffolk. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in booking.
What conditions can Polynucleotides address?
Polynucleotides are primarily employed to address under-eye concerns such as dark circles, dry skin, and fine lines. They offer a rejuvenating solution, combating under-eye ‘bags’ that are often challenging to manage.
What are the benefits of Polynucleotide Treatment?
- Diminished Dark Circles: Dark circles beneath the eyes are a common concern. Polynucleotides effectively reduce pigmentation and discoloration, leading to a noticeable improvement in under-eye brightness, with results indicating a 32% enhancement within just 4 weeks.
- Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Polynucleotide Treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, presenting an alternative to traditional dermal fillers or Botox. By enhancing skin elasticity, it diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
- Enhanced Skin Elasticity: Aging often results in reduced collagen and hyaluronic acid levels, leading to decreased skin elasticity and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Polynucleotide Eyes fosters greater skin elasticity, restoring a youthful and supple under-eye appearance, with an average increase of 22% in skin elasticity observed within 4 weeks.
- Minimized Under-eye Hollows: While Polynucleotide Treatment doesn’t fill deep tear troughs like traditional dermal fillers, it subtly reduces the appearance of under-eye depressions by rejuvenating the skin in this area.
Are Polynucleotides Safe?
Absolutely, Polynucleotide Treatment is safe when administered by a qualified licensed aesthetic professional. Like any facial injection, there are associated risks, but these can be minimized by receiving treatments from a practitioner with in- knowledge of facial anatomy and appropriate training.

What exactly is Microneedling?
Microneedling stands as a cosmetic procedure that involves puncturing the skin with small, sterilized needles. These minor wounds prompt your body to increase collagen and elastin production, facilitating skin healing and contributing to a more youthful appearance. Sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy, the procedure typically lasts between 10 to 30 minutes, contingent upon the size of the treated area. Ampule of hyloronic acid can be used as well. Most individuals require 2-6 sessions. The first result can be noticed after the healing process finish.
The primary objective of microneedling is to initiate the body’s natural healing process by stimulating collagen and elastin production to repair the tiny injuries. Collagen aids in smoothing out wrinkles and filling in imperfections. While microneedling is commonly performed on the face, it can also target other body areas like the stomach or thighs if needs.
What is a Dermapen?
Dermapen, a form of micro-needling facial treatment, is highly effective in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring, while enhancing overall skin complexion. This procedure stimulates collagen production, resulting in anti-aging effects such as skin tightening, plumping, and improved appearance.

What Are Fat Dissolving Injections?
Are you grappling with stubborn pockets of fat around your abdomen, arms, or chin?
Are you pondering over questions like how to shed belly fat, eliminate back fat, banish love handles, or address bingo wings without resorting to arm lift surgery?
If the answer is yes, Aqualyx® body fat dissolving injections could offer the solution you’ve been seekin
Fat dissolving injections, also known as injection lipolysis or intralipotherapy, offer a minimally invasive medical solution for targeted fat reduction. These injections, commonly referred to as fat dissolvers, fall under the category of mesotherapy and serve as a non-surgical option for reducing fat deposits.
Fat Dissolving Injections provide a safe and effective means of reducing fat cells in specific areas, offering enduring results to address stubborn fatty deposits.
These injections are suitable for treating localized pockets of fat resistant to exercise, found in areas such as the chin, chest, underarms, bra line, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, knees, and ankles. While highly effective for body contouring, it’s essential to note that Fat Dissolving Injections are not intended for weight loss.
Comprising various refined plant-based compounds, these injections act by dissolving the membranes of fat cells within the treated area. This process destabilizes the fat cells, causing them to rupture. Subsequently, the fatty acids contained within the cells are eliminated by macrophages, a component of the body’s immune system, and processed by the liver.
Are Fat Dissolving Injections suitable for me?
If you maintain a healthy lifestyle and are near your ideal body weight but struggle with localized, stubborn areas of fat, injectable fat dissolving treatments may be suitable for you.
Commonly treated areas include the double chin, male breasts (moobs), bra and underarm bulges, upper arms, saddlebags, inner thighs, ankles (“cankles”), and abdomen, including the potential definition of abdominal muscles.
However, if you have significant weight in the target area, fat dissolving may not be appropriate, but we offer other body contouring treatments that may be suitable. If you have recently experienced significant weight loss, the concern may involve loose skin, which can be addressed with skin tightening treatments.
It’s important to note that fat dissolving injections are not suitable if you:
- Have diabetes.
- Have liver or kidney disease.
