We use Xeomin® which is the same class family as Botox® and Dysport®. Xeomin® is a highly purified* anti-wrinkle treatment. It has been scientifically formulated to purify the active protein that is responsible for relaxing the facial muscles. Xeomin®’s purified* formulation means that, unlike other anti-wrinkle treatments, Xeomin® is free from unnecessary additional proteins (called complexing proteins*) that may, over time, cause your anti-wrinkle treatment to stop working.

Anyone wanting to prevent wrinkles or soften existing wrinkles. Xeomin® and Botox® both work to smooth the skin and get rid of frown lines. While they are both comparable in effectiveness, some studies have shown that Xeomin® has a quicker onset of action and a longer duration.

Dr Yu Ishikawa will conduct a thorough medical evaluation prior to any treatment to ensure Xeomin® is a safe treatment option for you.

BOTOX®, Xeomin® & Dermapen Microneedling.
One question we often get asked is - Should I get BOTOX®, Xeomin® or Dermapen Mirconeedling?
While BOTOX® and Xeomin® will smooth the lines, treatments such as Dermapen will enhance the actual texture and quality of your skin long-term. This is why a combination of both advanced skin treatments and injectables can help you achieve the best possible results when it comes to youthful skin.
BOTOX® or Xeomin® will work on the muscles underneath the skin to plump out lines, while Dermapen will treat the skin itself for a smoother, healthier and glowing texture. Our unique partnership with Dr Yu Ishikawa means you can now put your hands in the care of the experts for both treatments, taking advantage of this powerful duo for the ultimate in skin youth!
Don’t trust just anyone with your face.
If you wouldn’t walk into just any cheap mall hairdresser, it should be even more important to apply this same logic when it comes to your face. Our injectable treatments are delivered by Dentist Dr Yu Ishikawa, using only the highest quality product and the latest techniques.
Dr Yu Ishikawa (aka Ishi) trained as a General Dentist at Otago University and graduated in 2012. Since then, he has worked in the public sector in a hospital and in Private Practice. For the last five years, Dr Ishikawa has provided expert dental care to the Central Otago community as the owner of Tarbert Street Dental Clinic and is now thrilled to offer Xeomin® as well.
It initially caught his interest as a great treatment option for dental issues such as bruxism (teeth grinding) which has been shown to be an incredibly successful management option. Dr Yu's dental background is beneficial as he has great understanding of head and neck anatomy, which makes him an excellent practitioner for forehead, frown lines and crows feet treatments.
