Christmas is a time is a time for self indulgence, and this week Dr Maurizio Viel and Dr Roberto Viel are preparing everyone for the Christmas weekend and New Year’s Eve parties. We ask the twin brothers what are the most popular cosmetic treatments in the week coming up to Christmas. They tell me any treatment that is under 20 minutes is extremely popular in the rush up to Christmas. If you can’t get an appointment at their clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, you can also book botox and fillers at the Atlantis Hotel (ShuiQi Spa).
Botox
Why is botox so popular during this time?
Everyone has been rushing around to finish off deadlines, do Christmas shopping and Christmas dinner preparations that they have had no time to prepare themselves. So the quickest treatment to take away some lines and erase the woes of 2011 would be to use botox. It takes 1 0 – 15 minutes, and there is no downtime. The results for botox are quick and effective. Having been used since the 1980s, it still remains one of the most popular treatments on the market these days.
How long does botox last for?
Botox should last on average 3 – 4 months in your first year. As your facial muscles get progressively weaker, the next treatment can be repeated after 5- 6 months in the second year.
Fillers
What are fillers made from?
Non-permanent fillers should be made from hyaluronic acid. Be careful what your doctor injects. Always ask if you are not sure. Any other substances could lead to many complications. Brands such as Juvaderm and Radiesse are very well known on the market.
What are they used for?
As we age, we lose volume on the lips and upper part of the face, and this can used to make rejuvenate the contours of the face. Also, if you have eye bags, the fillers can be used to blend in the eye bag taking years off your face.
How long does it last for?
These fillers should lasts between 8 months – 1 year.
