By using a full dose of Botox® the crows feet on this woman have been completely removed. Not everyone wants all the crows feet removed but in this age group it does provide a more youthful appearance.
Older women prefer to have some crows feet visible as this is a more natural look in the post 40 age group. We achieve this by using a smaller dose of Botox® targeted to specific muscles to allow some lines to remain but reducing the overall wrinkling when smiling.

We’ve known for a while that ‘volumising’ the cheeks, or placing dermal filler in the cheeks can lift the lower face. This procedure is known as the ‘liquid facelift’.

Surgitron- a quick, safe and easy way to fix moles of cosmetic concern. A lot of people have moles on their face and body they’re not happy with. Surgitron is a great way to get rid of moles, with the smallest possible risk of leaving a scar. The secret is to shave the mole off, rather than cut it out, as in the traditional technique. This means less damage to the skin, and thereby less risk of a scar.

Carradice and colleagues (British Journal of Surgery vol 98; April 2011) performed a study comparing clinical effectiveness of surgery and EVLA. 280 patients were randomised into equal groups having either surgery or EVLA. All patients had primary, one sided, symptomatic varicose veins with isolated saphenofemoral junction incompetence.

The Botox® Experts. We realize there are now many clinics offering Botox® so why choose Palm Clinic? Our main philosophy at Palm Clinic is to produce natural results – that requires expertise in facial anatomy and aesthetics. Dr Barrett was one of the first Botox® practitioners in New Zealand starting in the mid 90’s. He has attracted a group of highly trained doctors with a great aesthetic sense and the facial anatomy and pharmacological knowledge to ensure the best results. Everybody’s facial muscles vary so that Botox® needs to be placed differently for each individual to avoid side effects and achieve the most natural results. Dr Sam Dunn is a Botox® expert at Palm Clinic. He loves the instant natural results obtained with Botox® for men and women. Sam combines Botox® with dermal fillers for optimal results.
