Botulinum toxin, commonly known by its trade names such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®, is a purified neurotoxin derived from the bacterium clostridium botulinum. At Matthew James Aesthetics, we offer botulinum toxin injections as a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. When injected into specific facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—such as forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines—botulinum toxin relaxes these muscles, resulting in smoother, wrinkle-free skin.
The benefits of botulinum toxin injections may include:
Reduction of Dynamic Wrinkles: Botulinum toxin effectively reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, such as smiling, frowning, and squinting. By relaxing the underlying muscles, it helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful and rested appearance.
Prevention of Wrinkle Formation: In addition to treating existing wrinkles, botulinum toxin injections can also prevent the formation of new wrinkles by inhibiting muscle movements that contribute to wrinkle formation over time. Regular treatments can help maintain smooth and youthful-looking skin for the long term.
Non-surgical and Minimally Invasive: Botulinum toxin injections are minimally invasive and require no downtime, making them a convenient option for individuals seeking a quick and effective solution for facial rejuvenation. Treatment sessions typically take just a few minutes, and most people can resume their normal activities immediately afterward.
At Matthew James Aesthetics, our skilled practitioners have extensive experience in administering botulinum toxin injections with precision and expertise. We take a personalised approach to treatment, carefully assessing your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your overall appearance.
Nasolabial folds, often referred to as smile lines or laugh lines, are the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. While these lines are a natural part of facial expression and aging, they can become more prominent over time due to factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and loss of skin elasticity.
At Matthew James Aesthetics, we offer treatments to soften nasolabial folds and restore youthful contours to the face.
Nasolabial folds develop as a result of the natural aging process, which leads to a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin. As these structural proteins diminish, the skin becomes less firm and resilient, resulting in the formation of creases and folds, particularly around the mouth and nose.
The most common treatments for nasolabial folds include:
Smoothing Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Dermal fillers can fill in deep lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and vertical lip lines, resulting in smoother and more youthful-looking skin.
Adding Volume to Cheeks and Lips: Dermal fillers can enhance the volume and definition of the cheeks and lips, restoring lost volume and creating a more youthful and symmetrical appearance.
Improving Facial Contours: Dermal fillers can sculpt and contour the face, enhancing features such as the chin, jawline, and temples for a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
Hydrating and Rejuvenating the Skin: Some dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture. These fillers can hydrate the skin from within, improving texture, tone, and overall skin quality.
At Matthew James Aesthetics, our skilled practitioners will assess your unique concerns and goals to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. We prioritize safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction, ensuring that you achieve natural-looking results that enhance your overall appearance and confidence.
Lip enhancement treatments are designed to help you achieve the plump, luscious lips you've always desired, with natural-looking results.
Lip enhancement, also known as lip augmentation or lip fillers, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing the size, shape, and definition of the lips. Whether you were born with naturally thin lips or have noticed a loss of volume and definition due to aging, lip enhancement can help you achieve a more balanced and youthful appearance.
The most common method of lip enhancement involves the use of dermal fillers, typically composed of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin. These fillers are injected into specific areas of the lips to add volume, improve symmetry, and define the lip borders.
The benefits of lip enhancement may include:
Increased Lip Volume: Lip fillers can add volume to thin lips, giving them a fuller and more voluptuous appearance.
Improved Lip Shape: By strategically adding filler to certain areas of the lips, we can enhance their shape and symmetry, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look.

Vitamin B12 shots are a quick and effective way to boost your energy levels and support your overall well-being.
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a vital nutrient that plays a crucial role in many bodily functions, including energy production, red blood cell formation, and neurological health. While B12 is found naturally in certain foods like meat, fish, and dairy products, many people may still experience deficiencies due to factors such as dietary restrictions, absorption issues, or lifestyle choices.
Vitamin B12 shots deliver a concentrated dose of this essential vitamin directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption and effectiveness. This means that your body can quickly access and utilize the B12 it needs to function optimally.
The benefits of Vitamin B12 shots may include:
Increased Energy Levels: B12 plays a key role in converting food into energy, so a deficiency can lead to fatigue and lethargy. By replenishing your B12 levels with a shot, you may experience a noticeable boost in energy and vitality.
Improved Mood and Mental Clarity: B12 is involved in the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which regulate mood and cognitive function. Supplementing with B12 shots may help improve mood, concentration, and overall mental well-being.
Support for Healthy Metabolism: B12 is essential for the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, making it important for maintaining a healthy weight and supporting weight loss efforts.
Enhanced Athletic Performance: Adequate B12 levels are crucial for muscle function and endurance, making Vitamin B12 shots a popular choice among athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to optimize their performance.
At Matthew James Aesthetics, our Vitamin B12 shots are administered by trained professionals in a safe and comfortable environment. Whether you're feeling run-down, looking to enhance your athletic performance, or simply seeking a natural energy boost, our B12 shots can help you feel revitalized and ready to take on whatever life throws your way.
Ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin and a powerful antioxidant crucial for various bodily functions. It is essential for the synthesis of collagen, which is necessary for maintaining the health of skin, blood vessels, bones, and connective tissue. Additionally, ascorbic acid aids in wound healing, enhances the absorption of iron from plant-based foods, and boosts the immune system by supporting various cellular functions. Since the human body cannot synthesise vitamin C, it must be obtained through diet or supplements. Rich dietary sources include citrus fruits, berries, kiwi, bell peppers, and leafy greens.
These injections deliver a concentrated dose of vitamin c directly into the bloodstream offering numerous benefits for overall health and wellness.
Vitamin C is suitable for the general population for overall health, those with deficiencies like scurvy, pregnant and breastfeeding women, smokers, the elderly, stressed individuals, athletes, and people recovering from illness or surgery to support their increased nutritional needs and immune function.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that stimulates the skin's natural healing process to rejuvenate and improve its appearance. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling involves the use of a device with fine needles that create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin's surface.
The microneedling process triggers the skin's natural response to injury, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—the building blocks of healthy, youthful-looking skin. As the skin heals from these micro-injuries, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more radiant, with a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
We also offer the treatment with added skin boosters. Skin boosters are specialised serums or solutions infused with potent ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides and vitamins. When combined with microneedling, these boosters penetrate deeper into the skin, maximising their effectiveness and delivering nourishment where it's needed most.
One of the key benefits of microneedling is its versatility. It can be customised to address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Microneedling helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a more youthful appearance to the skin.
Acne Scars: By promoting collagen production, microneedling can help improve the appearance of acne scars, leading to smoother and more even skin texture.
Hyperpigmentation: Microneedling can reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone, resulting in a more balanced and radiant complexion.
Skin Texture: Whether you have rough, uneven skin texture or enlarged pores, microneedling can help refine and rejuvenate the skin's surface for a smoother, more refined appearance.
Our advanced chemical peels are designed to address a variety of skin concerns, offering personalised treatments for different skin types and conditions. These peels use a combination of potent acids to exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and stimulating the regeneration of new, healthy skin. Our selection includes light, medium, and deep peels, allowing us to customize treatments to target issues such as acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. Each session is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring optimal results and minimal downtime. Our experienced professionals assess your skin type and goals to determine the most suitable peel, providing you with a rejuvenated, radiant complexion.
