Botox

Smooth Wrinkles and Refresh Your Look

Botox is one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments worldwide, and in Dubai it has become the go-to solution for women and men seeking to reduce wrinkles and achieve a fresher, more youthful appearance without downtime. Whether you are concerned about forehead lines, crow’s feet, or a tired facial expression, Botox injections offer safe, quick, and effective results.

What Patients Usually Ask for

Patients in Dubai often seek Botox when they notice that wrinkles make them look older or more tired than they feel. Many request treatment for:

– Early signs of ageing in their late thirties and forties.
– Wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions.
– A more youthful look for professional or social reasons.
– Prevention of deeper lines forming over time.

How Botox Works

1_
Botox is the trade name for botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for facial wrinkles. When injected in small, controlled doses, it prevents muscle contractions that cause lines to form, allowing the skin above to appear smoother and more relaxed.

The procedure is performed with a fine needle, usually taking less than 20 minutes, and requires no anaesthesia. Results are not immediate but appear gradually within 3 to 7 days, lasting around 3 to 6 months depending on the area treated and the patient’s lifestyle.

Common Areas for Botox Treatment

Forehead Lines
Horizontal wrinkles across the forehead are among the first signs of ageing. Botox smooths these lines, creating a younger, rested look.

Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
Vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called “11 lines”, can make you look angry or stressed. Botox relaxes these muscles, softening the expression.

Crow’s Feet
Fine wrinkles around the outer corners of the eyes are a frequent concern. Botox reduces their appearance, opening and refreshing the eye area.

Brow Lift
Strategic Botox injections can gently lift the brows, improving eyelid heaviness without surgery.

Jawline & Masseter Muscle
Botox can slim a square jawline by relaxing enlarged masseter muscles, often used to treat teeth grinding (bruxism) as well.

Neck Bands
Vertical neck lines (platysmal bands) can also be softened with Botox injections for a smoother neckline.

Other Uses
Botox may also treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the underarms, palms, or soles.

Results and Recovery

Botox results are natural and subtle when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. The goal is to relax lines and refresh your look, not to freeze facial expressions.

After the procedure, patients may return to normal activities immediately, as there is virtually no downtime. Minor redness or swelling at the injection site disappears within hours. Results last 3–6 months, after which repeat treatments maintain the rejuvenated appearance.

Lip Fillers

Subtle Enhancement for Natural Beauty

Lip fillers are one of the most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatments in Dubai, offering women the chance to restore or enhance the shape and volume of their lips in a natural and elegant way. Whether the concern is naturally thin lips, loss of definition with age, or asymmetry, lip augmentation with fillers can create harmony in the face and highlight your natural beauty without looking artificial.

How Lip Fillers Work

1_

Lip fillers are most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that attracts water and adds hydration and volume. When injected into specific areas of the lips, fillers can:

– Add fullness to thin lips.
– Restore lost volume caused by ageing.
– Improve lip shape and border definition.
– Correct asymmetry between the upper and lower lip.
– Enhance hydration for a fresher, smoother look.

The procedure is performed using very fine needles or micro-cannulas to ensure precision and minimise discomfort. Dr Charles carefully evaluates the proportions of the face and lips before treatment, always aiming for results that look balanced and natural.

Technique and Dr Charles’s Approach

Unlike overfilled or artificial-looking lips, Dr Charles’s technique focuses on lip harmony and facial proportion. By using small, precise amounts of filler in the right areas – such as the vermillion border, Cupid’s bow, or body of the lips – he enhances the lips in a way that complements the entire face. His expertise ensures that each patient maintains their individuality while achieving a softer, more youthful expression.

Common Concerns Lip Fillers Address

Patients in Dubai often seek lip fillers for:

– Naturally thin lips that lack definition.

– Age-related changes, including volume loss and fine lines around the mouth.

– Facial imbalance, where lips appear too small compared to other features.

– Desire for subtle enhancement, rather than a dramatic change.

Results and Recovery

The results of lip fillers are visible immediately after the procedure, with final outcomes settling within a few days as minor swelling reduces. Depending on the product used, results typically last between 6 and 12 months. 

Downtime is minimal, and most patients return to their daily activities straight away. Some mild swelling or bruising may occur but usually resolves within a few days.

Eyelid lift surgery

Blepharoplasty is a popular choice for those seeking to refresh their eyes

Blepharoplasty—commonly referred to as an eyelid lift surgery—is a highly sought-after procedure for individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their eyes.

Many patients pursue this treatment due to concerns about drooping or sagging upper eyelids, under-eye bags, puffy or hooded eyes, and asymmetry that disrupts facial harmony. In some cases, excess skin may even interfere with vision, adding a functional aspect to the decision to undergo surgery. 

How Is Blepharoplasty Performed?

Blepharoplasty typically involves removing excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from the upper or lower eyelids to create a smoother and more youthful appearance.

1_

Upper Eyelid Surgery

For an upper eyelid surgery (upper blepharoplasty), the surgeon makes a discreet incision along the natural crease of the eyelid. Through this incision, excess skin and fat are carefully removed or repositioned to eliminate droopiness and lift the eyelid.

2_

Lower Eyelid Surgery

For a lower eyelid surgery (lower blepharoplasty), the incision can be made just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), depending on the patient’s needs. This technique reduces under-eye bags and smooths out puffiness without visible external scars.

Result

Using advanced methods, skilled surgeons ensure that the final result blends seamlessly with your natural features, achieving a refreshed and balanced look. 

Results and Benefits: A Long-Lasting Solution

Patients often notice an immediate improvement in the shape and contour of their eyes, creating a more alert, rested, and youthful appearance. The results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting, and patients no longer need to rely on temporary measures like makeup tricks, eyelid tapes, or cosmetic fillers to camouflage the issue.

Most patients find that after this procedure, they feel more confident without the need for constant concealing strategies. The newly rejuvenated eyes highlight their natural beauty, without the tired or heavy appearance that once overshadowed their expression.

Facelift Surgery

Restore a Youthful, Natural Look

A facelift (also called rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin and underlying tissues of the face and neck. Over time, natural ageing, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors cause skin to lose elasticity, resulting in sagging, wrinkles, and loss of definition.

A facelift in Dubai offers an effective solution for women and men who want to rejuvenate their appearance and restore confidence with long-lasting results.

Who Usually Seeks a Facelift?

Most patients considering facelift surgery are in their forties to sixties, experiencing concerns such as:

– Loose skin and visible wrinkles.
– Loss of definition around the jawline.
– Sagging in the midface or neck.
– A tired or aged appearance despite feeling youthful inside.

How a Facelift Is Performed

1_
Facelift surgery is tailored to each patient’s needs. The procedure usually involves carefully placed incisions around the hairline and behind the ears, where they are well hidden. Through these incisions, the surgeon lifts and repositions the deeper layer of facial muscles and connective tissue (known as the SMAS – Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System). By tightening the SMAS and removing excess skin, the face regains a firmer and more youthful contour.
2_
In some cases, the facelift is combined with a neck lift, addressing sagging under the chin and along the jawline. Techniques may also include fat grafting to restore lost volume in areas such as the cheeks or temples. Modern facelifts aim not to stretch the skin, but to reposition the underlying structures for a natural and long-lasting result.

Areas Commonly Treated with Facelift Surgery

Jawline and Jowls: One of the most frequent concerns. Facelift surgery
tightens sagging along the lower face and redefines the jawline.

Midface and Cheeks: Lifting the midface restores youthful fullness and softens deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds).

 

Neck and Chin: Excess skin and muscle laxity in the neck can create “turkey neck” or double chin. A combined facelift and neck lift smoothens and firms this area.
 
Mouth and Lower Face: Wrinkles around the mouth and marionette lines can be improved by tightening the underlying tissues.

Results and Recovery

Results of a facelift become visible almost immediately, although swelling and bruising are expected in the first two weeks. Stitches are removed within 7–10 days, and most patients feel comfortable returning to social activities after 2–3 weeks. Full healing continues overseveral months, with results that may last 7–10 years depending on lifestyle and skin quality.

Importantly, a facelift does not stop the ageing process, but it turns back the clock significantly, restoring a fresher, smoother, and more defined appearance.
