ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS
How do anti-wrinkle injections work?
Wrinkles occur naturally as skin ages, due to changes in the structure of the dermal layers and underlying facial muscles. Anti-wrinkle treatments use small amounts of Botulinium toxin to relax the muscles beneath the skin, helping to achieve a smoother, wrinkle free look.
Anti-wrinkle injections are applied directly to the problem areas and begins to work straight away, producing a smoother firmer look that lasts for 3 to 6 months. Mullan Gallagher anti-wrinkle treatments are and are effective for frown-lines, crows feet and other wrinkles.

What happens at the treatment appointment?
After applying a numbing cream, your Mullan Gallagher Facial Aesthetics expert will administer a few tiny injections with small amounts of the purified botulinum toxin under the skin. The number of injections you receive will depend on the areas that you wish to target and will take around 15 minutes to complete.
Anti-wrinkle injections are non-surgical, so there’s no recovery period after treatment. The result is a natural-looking improvement to your skin.

DERMAL FILLERS
How do dermal fillers work?
Skin
As we age, the structure of the skin changes, losing collagen, elastin and subcutaneous fats, and leaving the skin loose and prone to wrinkles and sagging. Dermal fillers are used to replace those lost elements, restoring the underlying skin structure and creating a firmer, younger lookplumping out fine lines and wrinkles and restoring a more youthful appearance.
At Mullan Gallagher we use a dermal filler called hyaluronic acid, which is something that already naturally occurs in the body. As we age the levels of hyaluronic acid decrease and our skin loses hydration, causing classic signs of ageing. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are a popular option to support the skin’s structures and moisture, effectively delaying these classic signs of ageing.
Dermal fillers are:
- A simple, non-invasive procedure
- A natural solution that works with your body
- Easy and discreet to use
- Ideal for plumping and firming
- Great for wrinkles and fine lines
- Instantly effective and rejuvenating for up to 6 months
Lips
Soft, hydrating fillers specially designed for the lip area can restore fullness that has become depleted through time. The lip line can be rebalanced, defined and accentuated – anything from a mild enhancement to a full re-shaping of the lips.

Glycolic Acid Peels
If you are looking to uncover the smooth and younger skin beneath what you have now, you might be considering a glycolic acid peel. The benefits are immense but it’s important to understand what they are and what they can (and can’t) do for your skin.
What is a peel?
A peel is a product that’s put on your face and, as the name implies, is peeled off. These can be done at home with an over the counter product, but the most effective peels are those that are performed in the office of a dermatologist or aesthetician.
A chemical peel uses some kind of chemical solution (there are a variety of peels you can get) to improve the skin. They smooth skin by removing the outer layers, which hold onto damage and are often rough and dry. Many people can benefit from a peel, but those with pimples or acne, uneven skin coloring and winkles are most likely to seek peels the most. These people will also derive the most benefit.
What is a glycolic acid peel?
Glycolic acid peels are simply a chemical peel that features glycolic acid as the main component.
Glycolic acid is currently a popular treatment for winkles and acne. Part of the alpha hydroxyl family of natural ingredients, glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane and is a fruit acid. When applied to the skin, it helps to remove the “glue” that holds the older, rougher and dryer skin on the surface. When it removes that top layer of skin, the fresh, new layer is visible. It’s this layer that’s without damage and which looks fresher.
People who have glycolic acid peels are often amazed with the results – they look younger, with fewer fine lines and wrinkles and if they have acne, they often notice their skin is quite a bit less oily and is much clearer.
How does a glycolic acid peel work?
You might decide to have a peel done when you have cosmetic surgery performed, but it’s not necessary to combine the two. A chemical peel can be performed without having any other cosmetic surgery performed, and while it can produce impressive results, a glycolic acid (or other) peel isn’t designed to take the place of a face lift or other cosmetic surgery.
When you decide to have a glycolic acid peel, you will visit with a plastic surgeon, aesthetician or other skin expert. If you decide on a glycolic acid peel, you are choosing to have a fairly light peel done that will usually result in few, if any, side effects.
A light layer of the peel is applied to your face and left for a period of time that will depend on the particular peel you are having, the reasons for having it and the person who is performing the peel.
The peel is removed and you are free to leave the office. With a light peel like a glycolic acid peel, there is no real recovery time and no pain relievers are necessary. If you do feel any discomfort during the procedure (which would likely only be slightly irritation to the skin) you might be given a Tylenol or Motrin.
Side effects
There are few if any side effects to having a glycolic acid peel. Right after the procedure you might feel some burning, but it often goes away quickly. You might have some redness, but again, this usually goes away fairly quickly. If you have sensitive or very fair skin you are more likely to encounter these discomforts.
Glycolic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so you should wear a good sun block after having a glycolic acid peel.
Future treatments
Often one glycolic acid peel isn’t enough. You will usually be given a series of treatments over a prescribed period of time.
