What are wrinkle reduction injections?
This describes a local-acting muscle relaxant adapted from the botulinum toxin type-A. It is categorically designed for use in aesthetic procedures for wrinkle correction.
How do they work?
Tiny targeted injections are used to help improve the appearance of moderate to severe active lines, and can soften the appearance of static wrinkles. The adapted botulinum temporarily relaxes the muscles in these areas, which prevents the lines from being as pronounced. The treatment lasts up to 6 months and can be effective in as little as 48 hours.

what is medical grade skincare?
Medical Grade skincare contains active ingredients that are present in high enough concentrations to be of therapeutic value and often can more readily penetrate into the skin and deliver a desired outcome. They can usually only be prescribed by a medically trained professional after a thorough consultation process.
At Serene by Dr.Safa you can make the most of virtual or in-person skincare consultations and have your bespoke protocol delivered straight to your door if you wish! You will have regular follow-up appointments to see how you are getting on, and this allows for tweaks and additions depending on your changing situation/ skincare goals.
Everyone, no matter what age, gender or skin condition, can benefit from medical skincare and why spend your money on over the counter products that might not work as well?
Improvements in skin texture, pigmentation and quality is often essential in helping to support other aesthetic treatments such as anti wrinkle and dermal filler treatments, so we like to start your Facial aesthetics journey with a skincare consultation wherever possible.
We recommend a range of products, and will often mix and match. Obagi® and Alumier MD® are two of our favourite skincare lines with years of testing and research ploughed into each product they produce.
WHAT IS PROFHILO®?
Profhilo® is the brand name for a “beneath the skin” hyaluronic acid treatment. Their unique formula has a prolonged stimulating activity within the underlying dermal cells. Profhilo® stimulates collagen and elastin production and draws moisture into deeper layers of the skin which counteract sagging and reduced elasticity.
Patients report brighter, tighter and more youthful skin, which is more hydrated and less inflamed. The current recommended protocol for Profhilo® is two treatments 4 weeks apart, carried out twice a year.
WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID, AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, mainly in the skin, connective tissue, and eyes. Its primary function in the body is to retain fluid to keep structures full and well lubricated.
Over time, the production of hyaluronic acid slows. Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid help replace the lost structure, filling areas that have lost definition or where deeper lines have appeared.
