Wrinkle Reduction

  • Wrinkle Reduction Treatments are quick and simple at Nass Holistic Journey. A small amount of the wrinkle reduction is injected into a specific and desired treated facial muscle with a very fine needle. Treatments generally take around 10-20 minutes.

    Typically, any pain is minimal and brief with no anaesthetic is required. You can resume normal activities immediately and it’s important to follow any post-treatment instructions provided by your cosmetic injectable nurse at Nass Holistic Journey.

  • You’ll generally start to see results in 3-5 days of treatment and it can take from 10-14 days for full results to be seen. However, results may vary depending on the individual.

    The effects of treatments usually last up to 3-4 months and gradually decrease over time.

  • Regular Wrinkle Reduction Treatments may help effects to last longer and may help reduce static wrinkles.

  • For the majority of patients at Nass Holistic Journey, any side effects are temporary and limited to where Wrinkle Reduction treatment was applied.

    Possible side effects include pain, burning or stinging; bruising, swelling or redness at the injection site; local muscle weakness including drooping eyelids or eyebrows; swollen eyelids and skin tightness; tingling sensations, itching or aching forehead; headaches, nausea and flu-like symptoms.

    If you have any concerns about side effects, please talk to your cosmetic injectable nurse at Nass Holistic Journey.

  • Yes! Wrinkle Reduction Treatments can be combined with other cosmetic treatments such as dermal fillers (which replace or lifts the volume under the skin) and skin treatments that help skin texture, tone and quality.

Volume Restoration

  • To determine the best desired outcomes, the treatment begins with a consultation and in-depth discussion of your individual requirements and concerns.

    After your skin is cleaned with a disinfectant solution, a topical anesthetics will be applied for more comfort during treatment.

    The volume restorations are injected into the dermis (skin) with a needle, resulting in increased volume, plumpness, and definition. The treatment takes about 45-60 minutes to complete. After the treatment, clients should prepare for some swelling and bruising.

    It’s important to follow any post-treatment instructions provided by your cosmetic injectable nurse at Nass Holistic Journey.

  • We recommend you to attend a follow-up appointment at Nass Holistic Journey approximately 2 weeks after your initial treatment. This enables your cosmetic injectable nurse to review the results.

    You may begin to notice the results of your Lip and/or Dermal Filler treatment within 2-3 days. Dermal Fillers take up to 2 weeks to recover, the best results are seen 4-6 weeks after treatment.

    As the duration of the results will vary from person to person, please speak to your cosmetic injectable nurse at Nass Holistic Journey about a personalised treatment plan.

  • It is not unusual to experience some side effects following Volume Restoration:

    • Swelling

    • Tenderness

    • Bruising

    • Infection

    • Injury to Blood Vessels

    • Itchiness

    • Rash

    • Vascular Occlusion

    • Change in skin sensation in the treated area.

    • If you feel unwell or are concerned about any aspect if your treatment, contact your cosmetic injectable nurse immediately.

Collagen Bio Stimulation

  • When it comes to your Collagen Bio Stimulation treatment, results are gradual. This means that changes are subtle, and usually aren’t apparent immediately after the first treatment. Improvements may last up to 12-18 months after the initial treatment. However, results can vary depending on the individual.

  • Initially, 2 or 3 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Results develop gradually as collagen production is stimulated and skin appearance improves. Maintenance doses every 1 to 2 years will prolong the effect.

  • Serious side effects are not common. The most common side effects after initial treatment include injection site swelling, tenderness, redness, pain, bruising, bleeding, itching, vascular occlusion and lumps.

    Other side effects may include small lumps under the skin that are sometimes noticeable when pressing on the treated area. Larger lumps, some with delayed onset, with or without inflammation or skin discolouration, have also been occasionally reported. Talk to your cosmetic injectable nurse, if you have any concerns about the safety of Collagen Bio Stimulation treatment, or if you experience any side effects.

Skin Boosters Treatments

  • When it comes to your skin booster treatment at Nass Holistic Journey, results are progressive. This means that changes in skin condition are subtle and natural-looking. While you are likely to see some benefits immediately, the full effect of the treatment may take up to 6-8 weeks.

  • Skin boosters treatments at Nass Holistic Journey are usually initially given across 3 treatment sessions, 6-8 weeks apart. The effects may last for up to 12 months.

    Regular maintenance sessions (approx. every 6 months) are recommended to ensure lasting results.

  • You may initially experience some redness, swelling, infection, pain, vascular occlusion or minor bruising around the treated area.

    This is temporary and should gradually subside over the next few days, although in some cases may last for up to two weeks. If these become troublesome or persistent, contact your cosmetic injector asap.

PDO Mono Threads (Short Threads)

  • PDO Threads induces production of collagen, creating a tightening effect for 6-12 months after your treatment. The threads become a support structure for your face, allowing natural collagen production to take place.

  • After your skin is cleaned with a disinfectant solution, a topical anesthetics will be applied for more comfort during treatment.

    PDO Threads will be inserted underneath the skin. Bruising and mild swelling is to be expected.

    This treatment is a very customised procedure, and your cosmetic injectable nurse at Nass Holistic Journey, will work closely with you in order to achieve optimal results.

    PDO Thread treatments DO NOT REQUIRE any sort of incision (no stitches required).

  • You will begin to see results in 6 weeks which continue to improve over the next 2-6 months as new collagen is produced.

    Although the PDO Threads will slowly dissolve, you’ll continue to see results for up to 12 months.

  • The time of your treatment at Nass Holistic Journey will vary based on many factors (such as; the size of your treatment area). However, it will typically take between 30-60 minutes.

Fat Reduction

  • Fat Reductions is typically given a 1 to 2 hours sessions. Your cosmetic injectable nurse will administer a series of injections into the targeted area at each session.

  • Prior to administering the Fat Reduction, your cosmetic injectable nurse may apply ice/cold packs or topical and/or injectable local anaesthesia to the treatment area to make you more comfortable. They may also suggest that you take an over-the-counter pain medication before your appointment.

  • As with other injectable treatments, you may experience side effects with Fat Reductions. Most patients experience mild or moderate pain or discomfort at the time the Fat Reduction is injected.

    Noticeable swelling will occur immediately after treatment and last 4-7 days following the procedure, this is a positive indicator of the treatments progression. It is important that patients refrain from using any medication that decreases the swelling during this time.

    Tell your cosmetic injectable nurse immediately if you notice any of the following:

    • Brusing

    • Pain

    • Numbness

    • Swelling

    • Redness

    • Tingling

    • Formation of small areas of hardness

    • Itching around the treatment area

    • High Blood Pressure

    • An ulcer (open sore) at the site of injection



  • Many patients treated with Fat Reductions experience visible improvement on their treated area after 2-8 treatments. However, results can vary depending on the individual.

    We do recommend a minimum of 2x treatments required (6 weeks apart). Once your desired results are achieved, additional treatments may not be needed as results are maintained for at least 4 years.

    However, results can change depending on the individuals diet and lifestyle.
