ANTI-WRINKLE / TOXIN INJECTIONS

Non - Invasive

Minimal to No downtime

PAIN RATING

Botulinum Toxin A

Do you look in the mirror and wish for a natural-looking reduction in fine lines and wrinkles? Or Maybe a softer and brighter appearance?

Botulinum Toxin is injected gently with a fine needle, takes only a few minutes to administer, and has little to no downtime. 

Results are visible within 3-10 days, and effects last 3-4 months on average. 

The most requested areas for anti-wrinkle injections are the dynamic lines around the eyes and forehead. However, they can also be used to minimise the lines around the mouth, nose, smooth the chin, relax the jawline and masseters, neck bands and lift to the brow.

What Is Botulinum Toxin A?
Botulinum Toxin A is used as an anti-wrinkle treatment for various facial areas, including the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, chin, brow and masseters.

What Can I Expect?

Treatment requirements vary from patient to patient and depend on the area being treated. The number of units required will be determined during consultation.

Results generally last 3–4 months.

How many treatments will I need?

Dr Claire Jacobsohn will prepare and administer the injections. The number of units needed will be dependent on your facial profiling and which area is being treated.  Minimum interval of 12 weeks between treatments is generally advised.

Treatment Details
Botulinum toxin (anti-wrinkle) injections can achieve a tighter, smoother appearance.
Botulinum toxin injections block the chemical signal that the brain sends to the muscle telling the muscle to contract. This means that when the brain says ‘squint, it’s sunny’, the muscles are saying ‘I can’t hear you’. In effect the treatment relaxes and lifts the muscle, softening the look of lines and giving a tighter, smoother appearance.

 

Treatments take effect after 3 to 10 days. Top-ups may be required.

The effect generally lasts three to four months.

Treatment Indication
  • Soften expression lines – Create a natural-looking reduction in expression lines such as frown and crow’s feet.
  • Restore facial balance – When professionally administered, anti-wrinkle injections can restore balance to the face.
  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles – By relaxing the muscle, anti-wrinkle injections reduce fine lines and wrinkles and prevent future lines from deepening.
  • Treats Excessive Sweating also known as hyperhidrosis.
  • Treats Bruxism – Teeth Grinding and Clenching.
  • Calf reduction – for slimmer legs
Excessive Sweating / Hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating (medically known as hyperhidrosis) is a common condition affecting the hands, underarms and feet, as well as other body areas in certain instances (e.g., buttocks or face).

Botulinum Toxin A is a highly effective treatment that chemically disables the sweat glands without causing permanent damage. 
Results are visible at 3-7 days after injection, and last 6-12 months on average.

100units are required on average for the underarm area
100 – 200 units are required on average for the hands or the feet:

Hands and feet require local anaesthetic cream to minimise discomfort.

Dr Claire Jacobsohn and the Team will always advise on the best route for each candidate specifically.

How long before I see results?
Results take 2-3 weeks on average to settle, but results are evident immediately in most cases.  
Is there any downtime?
Minimal to no downtime is expected in the case of Botulinum Toxin injections.  Thread lifts can take 1-3 weeks to fully settle as minimal swelling or bruising is possible.

A Sustainable Approach to Obesity

Obesity is a chronic issue that often traps patients in a cycle of weight loss and gain, leading to poorer quality of life and increased health risks such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, joint problems, and certain cancers like breast and colon cancer.

Many obese patients also experience metabolic syndrome, characterized by high cholesterol, blood pressure, and abdominal fat. Our Medically Assisted Weight Loss Program is designed to offer sustainable weight loss through individualized care tailored to each patient’s needs.

This comprehensive program includes a full assessment, personalized eating plans, supplements, and injections, with additional testing like DNA profiles or blood tests if necessary. Scripted medication such as Semaglutide and tirzepatide can be administered in addition. It is safe for most patients, resulting in long-term, reliable weight loss.

Is the procedure customized for me?
The program is designed around the patient, all factors of the patient’s lifestyle and medical history will be taken into consideration.
What can I expect during the treatment?
The first few weeks on our programs can be tough – Be disciplined!  The journey towards a skinny you will get much easier. When starting a new diet or detox programme, your body can experience minor side effects. You may need time to adapt to the changes in food type, calorie intake and exercise.
What are the side effects of the weight loss treatment?
Initially the change may cause you to experience sensations like nausea, vomiting and headaches until your body has adapted. These minimal side effects generally last on and off for 2 – 7 days at the most (should you experience them.)
How do I start my Journey with regards to weight loss at TAHQ?
As this is a very individualised program, a consultation is necessary. Full assessment will be done whereby weight, measurements, blood pressure, and glucose readings are recorded. You may be required to attain further blood tests in order to confirm your vitals. Should you be a suitable candidate, the programme will be formulated and approved.
What type of Medication is dispensed/Included?

This is patient dependent. Generally, you will receive HCG Booster injections which aid in reducing hunger and redistributing body fat evenly. You will also receive a supplement which treats high blood sugar levels and obesity related to compulsive overeating as it prevents the absorption of carbohydrates and increase satiety. Another supplement is a proprietary, caffeine free, catechin extract from green tea formulation. This improves the uptake of the product ingredients in the blood stream and of course serves as detoxification.

The above is merely to mention a few as it is all dependent on each patient, their needs and requirements.

Scar Treatments

We offer a number of treatments for scar revisions that are customized according to individual requirements.
How a scar is treated is dependent on a number of factors, including:

•    Where on the body is the scar?
•    What is the exact nature of the scar?

PRP (platelet rich plasma) may also be performed.
Scar treatment plans can include an alternation or combination of treatments such as:
  • PRP
  • Microneedling

A Revolutionary Approach to Rejuvenation

Nano fat transfer, also known as micro fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure where small amounts of fat are removed from an area where excess fat is present and injected into another area where the fat can be used for corrective work, small volume lift and augmentation. The treatment is also referred to as nano fat grafting and micro fat grafting. Nano Fat is for men and women , who want to enhance or change the appearance of their face, body and hands or improve the growth of their hair, treat visible scars or reduce the unwanted effects of aging. Fat transfer is the ideal process to achieve such goals. Fat transfer to the face, body, hands and scalp, irrespective of the reasons for making the change, can be accomplished using a minimal amount of fat.

How do I start my Journey with regards to a Nano Fat Transfer at TAHQ?
You will need to come in for a consultation with Dr Claire Jacobsohn, where a full body assessment will take place. If needed, you may be asked to undergo further examinations or tests. Should you be a suitable candidate you will receive a formal quotation for your procedure. 
Treatment Questions

What are the Side Effects of the Nano Fat Transfer procedure?

Some patients experience post-procedure side effects, such as swelling and redness. Fortunately, these side effects are temporary and typically subside a few days after the procedure.

 

What are the side effects of the weight loss treatment?

Initially the change may cause you to experience sensations like nausea, vomiting and headaches until your body has adapted. These minimal side effects generally last on and off for 2 – 7 days at the most (should you experience them.)

Should I be tested for bacterial infections before proceeding with the Nano Fat Transfer?

If there is reason to and if you may have been exposed, then it may be recommended. This can be confirmed by Dr Claire Jacobsohn during consultation.

 

Can I have more than one procedure on the same area?

We are able to perform Lipolysis fat removal from the area where fat is extracted, this procedure entails gentle suction under local anaesthesia and light sedation. Up to 3 litres of fat can be aspirated using Ultra Z per session. No, not on the same area. Generally, fat is extracted from areas where fat is present – popular areas being the abdomen, love handles etc. This is then treated, and the fat is inserted into your concerned area for instance Breasts, Buttocks etc.

 

What can I expect after the Nano Fat Transfer?

Nano fat transfer procedures have a minimum to no downtime. You won’t be spending weeks recuperating as you would in case of a surgical facelift. Instead, you only have to consider a few aftercare instructions to minimise any side effects.

 

Can I start the procedure if I have a confirmed virus and I am on antibiotics?

No. You will need to be in good health.

 

Will I be sedated during the procedure? 

No. You will be under local Anaesthetic. What this means is that you will be awake, however, unable to feel pain.

PIGMENTATION TREATMENTS

PAIN RATING

IPL
IPL for Pigmentation and Redness is called Photo-rejuvenation. Photo-rejuvenation has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures being performed today. L light and heat is used to target certain molecules in the skin that cause the discolourations such as age spots, “liver spots”, sun spots and spider veins often related to sun damage and the natural aging process.  Photo-rejuvenation treatments are typically given in a series to improve a number of irregularities.
Venus Viva™
Venus Viva™ has been licensed for procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin and for the reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.
The Venus Viva™ is also effective in treating deep wrinkles, acne scars, large pores, uneven texture, pigmentation, and stretch marks. It works on all skin types, and uses a one-two punch of Nano Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) and Smart Scan™ technology that warms the face and neck’s skin, and stimulates collagen.
Chemical Peels
Suitable for skins with pigmentation, uneven skin tone, redness, enlarged pores, acne, dehydration, sun damage and general signs of ageing.
It’s a non-evasive and gentle way of removing the damaged outer layers of the skin. Chemical peels can be used on any area of the body, the most common areas being the face, hands and chest. A series of peels can effectively slow down the ageing process by improving hydration, skin barrier function, pigmentation, skin firmness, wrinkles, roughness, pore size and redness.

Hyperpigmentation and Melasma


What is Pigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin disorder that commonly presents on the face and hands but can occur anywhere on the body. Hyperpigmentation affects all skin phototypes, and both women and men can be affected.  

Melanocytes are a type of cell that create a pigment called melanin in the skin, hair, and eyes. 

An increase in the production of melanin darkens the skin tone and leaves the skin blotchy and uneven. Areas can be small or large, and multiple body areas are often affected. 

Common triggers of hyperpigmentation include: 

  • Skin inflammation and injuries (PIH)
  • Hormones, including contraceptives, pregnancy and foods that are high in oestrogen.
  • Pregnancy 
  • Foods that are high in oestrogen
  • Sun exposure
  • Heat exposure
  • Blue light exposure
  • Allergies
  • Medications
  • Underlying medical conditions 
  • Genetics

Treatments include combinations of:

  • Chemical peels
  • Sunblock
  • IV Glow and Skin Brightening infusions
  • Microneedling
  • Laser and fractional RF treatments
  • Photochemotherapy
  • Specialized skincare products

Facial areas as well as body areas can be treated (including areas such as eye area, elbows, knees, feet, underarms, inner thighs and genitals). 

Pigmentation treatments do require maintenance specific to the area concerned. 

IPL & FRACTIONAL RF (VENUS VIVA)

Non - Invasive

1-3 Days

PAIN RATING

IPL (skin type I-III)

Intense Pulse Light Therapy (IPL) uses a spectrum of light shined onto the skin to treat a variety of skin and vein issues. Because the light is concentrated and focused, IPL treatment does not damage surrounding tissue.

IPL is used for photo rejuvenation where longer wavelengths of light are applied to the skin in order to destroy old collagen and stimulate the production of new collagen, leading to firmer and softer skin. IPL is also used to treat scars and acne, pigmentation, freckles and non-cancerous skin lesions.
Clinical results for the use of IPL vary with skin type. Individuals with fair to light brown skin experience the best results from IPL. Individuals who tan easily have varied results, and IPL is not recommended for some individuals with dark skin.

Venus Viva (skin type I-VI)
Venus Viva is an all-in-one treatment delivering impressive efficacy through NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) and one-of-a-kind SmartScan technology.
Venus Viva creates micro-wounds in the inner layer of the skin for collagen stimulation and new skin to form. Acne scars will be lighter with lesser depression because when the new skin forms, it fills in the “holes”.

PRP HAIR RESTORATION TREATMENT

PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections are a form of regenerative medicine therapy.  Autologous tissue – in this case platelets and fibrin – are used to treat tissues that are damaged or injured, or that require healing and stimulation. Numerous growth factors are found in platelets – many of these growth factors improve microcirculation in tissue.

 By harvesting these for re-injection through a simple blood sample that is centrifuged, PRP injections allow concentrated platelets from a person’s blood and to re-inject them into parts of the body that require it. Doing so helps to naturally, promote healing.

PRP is a simple and effective treatment suitable for facial and body treatments, and indications include:

  • skin and tissue rejuvenation
  • sunburn and acute burns
  • scarring, 
  • assists with sexual wellbeing including Peyronie’s disease, ED and improving orgasm and vaginal atrophy.
  • promotes hair regrowth.
