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?
What Can I Expect?
The resultant effect, after a few days to a week, is a relaxing of the treated area and a reduction in the appearance of the wrinkles. Treatment is administered via injection, with minimal pain.
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
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
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.
Bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching)
Hypertrophy of the masseter muscle, may lead to the appearance of a square, masculine jaw.
Treatments with Botulinum Toxin injections can provide tremendous relief from jaw soreness, headaches, and other unpleasant problems associated with Bruxism.
By injecting small doses of Botulinum Toxin directly into the masseter muscle (the large muscle that moves the jaw), the muscle is weakened enough to stop involuntary grinding of the teeth and clenching of the jaw. This significantly relaxes the muscle.
Results typically lasts for 3 – 4 months.
Non Surgical Face
and body Lifts

PAIN RATING
A Modern Alternative
Non-surgical face and body lifts refer to cosmetic procedures that aim to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin without the need for invasive surgery. These treatments typically involve the use threads to stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin, and create a more youthful appearance. Threads are made of absorbable materials (like polydioxanone) are inserted under the skin to lift sagging tissue. These threads provide an immediate lift and stimulate collagen production over time. Face, neck, jowls, are brows are common areas treated. However, threads can also be performed for non-surgical nose jobs (known as the Rhinoplasty procedure). Results typically last 1-2 years sometimes longer – it is patient dependent
Non-surgical Nose Job
A Rhinoplasty may be achieved by using combinations of treatments, such as Dermal Fillers and Botulinum Toxin A. Botulinum Toxin is ideal for overactive, strong muscles attached on and around the nose. Selectively relaxing these muscles can result in an elevated the nasal tip, “bunny scrunch” reduction, and can reduce nasal flaring when you are animated e.g., talking or smiling.
Dermal Fillers are suitable for areas where volume restoration is advantageous. Threads lifting, is the most utilized option for most non-surgical nose jobs as their versatility allows for an individualized approach to any nose! The large selection of available thread types allows for correction of the nasal bridge, nasal tip (elevation and narrowing as requested), straightening of the nasal bridge, amongst other indications.
Previous surgical rhinoplasties can also be treated and corrected where minor irregularities or asymmetries have occurred – reducing the need for re-operation.
Do non-surgical nose jobs last forever?
No – it is not a permanent treatment/procedure. It is dependent on the candidate and which treatment/procedure is more suitable together with budget restraints.
Botulinum Toxin Injectables will most likely need to be repeated every 3-4 months. On average, approximately 15 units are used.
Dependent on the Candidate and the concerned area, 1 to 2 dermal filler syringes may be needed. Results last anything from 9 to 14 months before the procedure needs to be repeated.
Thread rhinoplasties usually last around 12-36 months.
What are the benefits of doing Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical rhinoplasties are generally considered to be less painful, significantly less costly, and with less downtime than a surgical option.
There are fewer side effects which means that your cosmetic appearance is what you would like it to be.
Procedures/treatments are done in just 5 to 45 minutes!
Are the all the above-mentioned procedures safe?
Yes of course. However, it is always advisable that every candidate investigates the process thoroughly before commencing with a procedure.
Dr Claire Jacobsohn and the Team will always advise on the best route for each candidate specifically.

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.

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.

IV Infusions

PAIN RATING
What Are IV Infusions?
Intravenous (IV) infusions have gained significant popularity in aesthetic practices due to their ability to deliver essential nutrients, vitamins, and hydration directly into the bloodstream. This method bypasses the digestive system, ensuring that 100% of the nutrients are absorbed, making it an effective way to enhance beauty, wellness, and overall skin health from within.
IV infusions are commonly used to promote glowing skin, improve hydration, combat signs of aging, and support the body’s natural detoxification processes. Popular formulations include blends of vitamins such as Vitamin C, B-complex, antioxidants like glutathione, and minerals that support collagen production and repair damaged skin. By replenishing the body with these vital elements, IV therapy helps patients achieve radiant, youthful skin while also enhancing their energy levels and well-being.

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.

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

Looking For Smooth, Silky, Beautiful Skin?
The Aesthetic HQ partners with several top medical skincare brands in order to provide some of the best quality products to our patients.
Why select medical skincare brands over cosmetic and store-bought brands?
For the true fusion of Aesthetic and medicinal benefits! Medical skincare products have higher levels of active ingredients than their cosmetic counterparts. Sophisticated product delivery systems allow for deeper and targeted skin penetration of your homecare. This puts you on track for greater results and true skin transformation!
Science backs all claims made by medical skincare products, which means products must show measured, clinically proven efficacy. Medical skincare brands require batch testing, which ensures consistent quality and efficacy in each product that you purchase. Cosmetic brands such as bought instore at the cosmetic counters to the contrary do not have to undergo products or ingredient testing, and claims made do not have to be substatianted unlike medical skincare brands. Consider that you are paying for packaging and marketing more than what you pay for your product in many instances.

Treatment Areas
• Underarms
• Bikini
• “Hollywood”, including perianal
• Half leg
• Full leg
• Back
• Upper lip
• Cheeks
• Full face (e.g. men)
• Full face and neck
• Neck only
Fine vellus hair (fleecy/wispy) e.g. on the face is unlikely to respond to treatment, as the structure is different to terminal hair found on most of the body.
How It Works?
Our fully-trained laser therapists can treat any skin tone from dark to fair using our eLase with Motif (LHR) device. The laser aims a concentrated beam of light at your hair follicles. With darker skin types, the laser is attracted to the blood supply to the hair follicle. The pigment in your hair follicle will absorb the light and heat, damaging the follicle enough to discourage further growth, with the hair eventually falling out.
What Can I Expect?
Laser hair removal has fast become one of the most effective options for permanent hair reduction. No laser clinic can claim 100% hair removal, as some hair will always strive to grow back. Re-growth can be affected by hormones and other biological factors which will vary from person to person. A large percentage of our clientele are male and the most common areas treated are back, chest and arms.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
8-12 sessions are required are required as an average. These are performed 4-6 weeks apart depending on the area to be treated. Maintenance sessions post treatment may be required from time to time, especially for hair growth that is hormone dependent.
How Do I Prepare?
Shave your treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Strictly no waxing, plucking, sugaring, threading or any hair removal creams before or between treatments!

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

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 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”.
