With the present emphasis on non invasive treatment to get rid of the signs of ageing, like lines, wrinkles, folds, contours and thinning lips Injectables like Botulinum Toxin and a range of “Fillers” or a combination of the two are used with very satisfactory results to treat these conditions.

Here at Cosmetic Procedures, you will have the benefit of a highly accomplished Plastic Surgeon with over 20 years experience in the field. It is important to choose a Practitioner with care to get the optimum result with the most cost effective regime.

Your requirements are discussed sympathetically and in detail with Emma over whatever period of time it takes, your needs assessed and a regime planned and agreed between you and your Surgeon.

Here at Cosmetic Procedures, you do not need to fit into a certain age range and we have regular clients (or “patients” if you like) ranging from 22years of age who have been squinting at their job in the sun, to 80 year olds who definitely do not want to go under the knife but want to look fresher and glowingly healthy.

Emma’s clientele include an equal proportion of men and women from all walks of life – tilers, roofers, brigadiers, ground workers, builders, marines, Radio and TV presenters and personalities, actors, artists, ballet dancers, nurses, lap dancers, office workers, complemantary therapists and lots of others. What draws them to her is the total trust they can have in client confidentiality and the individual care each one of her clients gets at Topsham Health, 61 High Street, Topsham.

Emma’s interest in the injectables grew when, after stunning results from her facelifts and eyelid surgery, her patients still had lines between their eyebrows which no surgery can eliminate satisfactorily. She felt the need for another string to her bow, another tool in her armamentarium. However, Emma was strongly opposed to injecting a toxin into anyone, being thoroughly holistic in her approach even in Surgery. Then, one day, at an International Plastic Surgical Conference in Vienna she found herself at a Workshop on the so-called “Botox” and was amazed at the number of beautiful women falling over each other to offer themselves as guinea pigs for the demonstrations! Looking into the matter, she realized that Botulinum Toxin has been used for many years in very high doses on small children with cerebral palsy to relieve them of muscle spasm, in wry neck or torticollis, in blepharospasm (jumping eyelid) etc. That the lethal dose of the toxin is in the region of 3000iu (CHECK!) while the amount used to treat wrinkles and things is around 20 or 40 or 80 iu and maybe 100iu for hyperhidrosis (sweaty palms or underarms).

Emma returned to England and was delighted to be in a position to accommodate the very next patient who rang in the hope of getting rid of his wrinkles. He was a gardener and had done his homework, knew exactly what he wanted and had budgeted adequately for the year.

Emma uses a combination of Botulinum Toxin and the range of Restylane fillers in those who would benefit from the combination technique. This is decided at your consultation for which there is no charge if a treatment is carried out on the day of consultation. Emma is happy to have a preliminary discussion on the phone with you regarding what it is that troubles you. More specific advice is only possible at a face to face consultation. Everyone has direct access to Emma who makes it a point to provide individual care suited particularly to each one’s need. For this reason, no printed information is distributed and treatment depends solely on the individual requirement.
