Cosmetic injectables allow you to treat numerous skin concerns without surgeries, incisions, or downtime. With a few strategically delivered injections, your cosmetic practitioners can dramatically improve your facial skin and appearance. We provide three primary categories of cosmetic injectables — botulinum toxin (Botox) for face wrinkles, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for volume restoration, and PRP serum injections for skin rejuvenation. If you want to enhance your facial appearance without surgery, please contact our medical spa in Marbella.
Botox
What is Botox?
Botox is the most popular brand of botulinum toxin type A injections. We use botulinum therapy to reduce the appearance of dynamic facial wrinkles, such as the lines on the forehead, around the eyes, and from the mouth to the chin. Dynamic facial wrinkles are caused by repeated facial movements. Botox shots soften the contractions of the muscle, preventing the formation of a groove in the underlying tissues, thus suppressing the unwanted wrinkles for three to four months.

The Botox Procedure
The Botox treatment is carried out by injecting the botulinum toxin directly into the muscle of the affected area. 20 to 30 minutes prior to the procedure, a topical numbing cream can be applied. This will alleviate any potential sensitivity or discomfort from the injections. Your practitioner will have assessed your concerns during a pre-treatment consultation to outline the treatment areas according to your expectations.
Is Botox Safe?
Some people may remember the bad press that botulinum toxin (aka BOTOX) obtained. This was some time ago, and much development has taken place to ensure this treatment produces safe and effective results. Extensive training ensures that experienced injectors administer the product to the right place and at the right dosage, ensuring natural-looking results.
How Often Should Botox Be Done?
Botulinum therapy is usually administered in a single treatment to each area. The results are usually seen very quickly and will last for up to 4 months. Regular maintenance treatments will be required every three to four months to enjoy the results over an extended period.
Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers
What are Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?
Fillers can be used to restore a more youthful look or to enhance your facial features. Dermal fillers contain a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring gel that binds a high volume of moisture to your skin, making your skin look smooth, supple, and youthful. Hyaluronic acid serum injections can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands to create a more even texture. Fillers can also enhance the definition of the cheeks, lips, and jawline.

The Hyaluronic Acid Serum Injection Process
You may benefit from having a numbing cream applied to the chosen area 20 to 30 minutes before the dermal fillers are injected. The hyaluronic acid serum injections are administered just beneath the skin at various points of the affected area. The smooth gel provides instant volume to the skin, and different densities can be used to address different areas and concerns. The results are instantly visible, with gradual improvements as the side effects dissipate.
Is Hyaluronic Acid Safe to Inject?
Dermal fillers are completely safe. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar that’s abundantly available in the human skin, so the product is completely biocompatible. This procedure has global popularity and has seen millions of happy patients with outstanding results. The experts at Cirumed Clinic are trained and experienced medical professionals who apply fillers with optimal precision.
Do Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Hurt?
Hyaluronic acid serum injections may cause slight discomfort. You will be offered a numbing cream before the session to ensure comfort, and we will use an ultra-fine needle for the treatment. The aftereffects may cause some sensitivity, redness, bruising, and swelling, but these side effects will subside within 24 hours.
What Should You Not Do After fillers?
Avoid extremes of heat and cold for up to 24 hours
Avoid touching the treated area for up to 24 hours
Avoid applying unnecessary pressure for up to 24 hours
Avoid applying make-up for up to 24 hours
Avoid scrubbing the skin for up to 24 hours
Facial treatment with platelet-rich plasma.
Platelet-rich plasma is a component of blood with a high concentration of growth factors necessary for natural healing and recovery. Platelet-rich plasma is obtained from a patient’s blood sample that is centrifuged in a closed circuit to separate red and white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Platelet-rich plasma is injected through multiple punctures with a very fine needle, in the form of mesotherapy into the skin of your face. Your body begins to produce collagen and elastin, which makes skin tissues smoother and firmer.
This platelet-rich plasma, when applied to damaged tissue, releases growth factors that promote the repair of skin and mucous membrane lesions, increasing vascularity, decreasing inflammation, stimulating cell growth and the production of collagen and elastin.

The Plasma Facial Procedure
During the plasma facial procedure, your blood is drawn via a syringe and put in a machine that separates the platelets from the rest of your blood. A signature facial using utsukusy products, followed by steam clean and extraction, gentle peel, and disinfect is performed to prep the skin. Finally, the blood containing a high level of platelets is injected into the face, neck, and décolleté. The entire treatment concludes within 90 minutes.
Is PRP Right for Me?
You are a good candidate for PRP if you have uneven skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles, or sagging.
Is PRP Safe?
A full consultation is carried out before the treatment to determine any allergies, skin problems, or contraindications. It is not recommended if you have problems with wound healing, psoriasis, eczema, or rosacea. However, PRP is a completely safe procedure because it’s based on a substance derived from your blood, i.e., autologous.
How Many PRP Treatments Will I Need?
Your practitioner will advise on how many treatment sessions you will need to undergo, according to your individual circumstances. For optimal results, 3 or 4 PRP sessions are needed.
