SERVICES
Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland offers a comprehensive range of non-surgical facial aesthetic treatments, all carried out exclusively by Dr David Buchanan. Free consultations are offered for every treatment and all services are competitively priced.
- Botox (Anti-Wrinkle Injections): Botox anti-wrinkle injections at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland use botulinum toxin to temporarily relax specific facial muscles and reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. Areas commonly treated include the forehead, frown lines, and crow's feet, as well as more complex lines around the mouth and neck. The initial appointment includes a confidential consultation, a medical questionnaire and consent form, and a photographic record of the areas to be treated. A follow-up appointment is made 14 days after treatment to assess results and administer a top-up if required. Results typically last three to four months.
- Barbie Botox: Barbie Botox is a specialised botulinum toxin treatment available at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland that targets the trapezius muscles in the neck and shoulders to create a more elongated, graceful neck and a slimmer shoulder profile. The treatment is inspired by the aesthetic of the iconic Barbie doll silhouette and has grown significantly in popularity as a non-surgical body contouring option.
- Baby Botox: Baby Botox is an innovative variation of traditional Botox treatment available at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland, using smaller, more precise doses of botulinum toxin to achieve a subtler, more natural-looking reduction in fine lines and wrinkles while preserving fuller facial movement and expression. It is particularly popular with younger patients seeking a preventative approach to facial ageing.
- Lip Flip: The lip flip is a non-surgical treatment available at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland using a small amount of botulinum toxin injected into the orbicularis oris muscle around the upper lip. This causes the lip to relax and gently roll upward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined upper lip without the addition of dermal filler. It is a subtle, minimally invasive alternative to lip filler for suitable patients.
- Botox for Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis is available at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland to address the problem of excessive sweating in the underarms, hands, or feet. Botulinum toxin is injected into the affected area to temporarily block the nerve signals responsible for stimulating the sweat glands. Results typically last six to twelve months and can significantly improve quality of life for patients affected by this condition.
- Botox for Men: Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland provides botulinum toxin anti-wrinkle treatments specifically tailored for male patients, using techniques appropriate to male facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Male-specific Botox treatment aims to soften lines and wrinkles while preserving a natural, masculine facial appearance.
- Dermal Fillers: Dermal filler treatments at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland use hyaluronic acid-based fillers — primarily Juvederm and Restylane, the two market-leading brands — to restore volume, smooth static wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Fillers are used to treat nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other areas of volume loss across the face, delivering a naturally refreshed and youthful appearance. Results typically last six to eighteen months and fillers may be used in conjunction with Botox for particularly deep lines.
- Lip Fillers: Lip filler treatment at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland uses hyaluronic acid dermal filler to enhance the size, shape, and definition of the lips, restoring lost volume or creating a fuller, more luscious appearance. Dr David Buchanan has been providing lip augmentation treatments for over 15 years, delivering natural-looking results that complement the patient's individual facial features. Results are near-instantaneous and typically last six to twelve months.
- Tear Trough Fillers: Tear trough filler treatment is available at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland to address the hollow or dark circles that develop beneath the eyes as a result of volume loss and skin thinning with age. Hyaluronic acid filler is carefully injected into the tear trough area to smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, reducing the appearance of shadows and tiredness and creating a fresher, more rested look.
- Cheek Fillers: Cheek filler treatment at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland restores lost volume to the cheeks and midface, enhancing cheekbone definition and lifting the lower face. High, voluminous cheekbones are a classic sign of youth, and cheek fillers provide a non-surgical method of recreating this youthful structure. Juvederm or Restylane hyaluronic acid fillers are used, with results typically lasting twelve to eighteen months.
- Jawline Fillers: Jawline filler treatment at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland uses hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to enhance the contour and definition of the jawline, improving facial symmetry and balance. The procedure is minimally invasive and delivers immediate results with minimal downtime, making it an increasingly popular non-surgical alternative to surgical jawline procedures. Treatment typically takes thirty to sixty minutes.
- Smokers Lines Treatment: Treatment for smokers lines — the fine vertical lines that form around the mouth as a result of repeated lip pursing, ageing, and collagen breakdown — is available at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland. Dr Buchanan typically uses advanced dermal fillers, Botox, or a combination of both, depending on the depth of the lines and extent of puckering around the mouth.
- Profhilo: Profhilo is a revolutionary bio-remodelling treatment available at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland that works to tighten and rejuvenate the skin rather than adding volume like conventional dermal fillers. It uses a uniquely high concentration of hyaluronic acid to stimulate the production of four different types of collagen and elastin, improving skin laxity, tone, texture, hydration, and vibrancy from within. Dr Buchanan uses the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) injection technique, injecting five points on each side of the face. It can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, upper arms, and above the knees. Dr Buchanan has been offering Profhilo in Belfast for over six years.
- Sunekos: Sunekos is an injectable treatment available at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland that combines hyaluronic acid with a patented formula of amino acids to regenerate the extracellular matrix of the skin, stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin. It is particularly effective for improving skin quality, reducing fine lines, and restoring a healthy, youthful glow, and can be used on the face, neck, hands, and around the eyes.
- Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: Non-surgical rhinoplasty — also known as a non-surgical nose job — is available at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland as a non-invasive alternative to surgical nose reshaping. Using precisely placed dermal filler injections, Dr Buchanan can smooth bumps, refine the nasal tip, improve symmetry, and create a more aesthetically balanced nose profile, all without surgery, anaesthesia, or recovery time. Results are immediate and typically last twelve to eighteen months.
- 8-Point Facelift: The 8-Point Facelift is a comprehensive non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedure available at Facial Aesthetics Northern Ireland, using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers injected at eight strategic points across the face to lift, volumise, and rejuvenate the skin. The treatment targets the mid and lower face to restore volume, counter sagging skin, and enhance facial contours, delivering a more youthful and harmonious appearance without surgery or significant downtime. It is a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation than the 5-Point or 6-Point Facelift.
