Xeomin is a purified neuromodulator designed to relax the muscles responsible for expression lines and wrinkles. It helps create a smoother, refreshed appearance while still allowing for natural facial movement. Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
How It Works
Xeomin works by temporarily blocking specific chemical signals between nerves and muscles. When these signals are reduced, targeted muscles relax, minimizing the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles. Xeomin may also be used therapeutically for certain medical concerns.
Benefits of Xeomin
• Softens fine lines & wrinkles
• Helps prevent deeper lines over time
• Natural-looking results
• “Clean” formula with no unnecessary proteins
• Quick treatment with little to no downtime
• Results start in ~3–7 days
• Lasts about 3–4 months
• Can also help with jaw tension & clenching
Please note that only Nurse Sunjit administers Dysport at this time. Dr. Gouws exclusively uses Xeomin for all neuromodulator treatments.

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, enhance facial features, and soften lines and folds for a refreshed, natural-looking appearance. At Aura Beauty Lounge, we offer Restylane (Nurse Sunjit Only) & Belotero hyaluronic acid fillers.
How It Works
Belotero and Restylane are hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers that attract and retain moisture within the skin to add hydration, softness, and volume. They are commonly used for lips, cheeks, smile lines, under-eyes, and facial contouring.
BENEFITS OF DERMAL FILLERS
• Restore volume and facial balance
• Enhance lips, cheeks, jawline, and contouring
• Soften lines and folds
• Hydrate and plump the skin
• Natural-looking, customizable results
• Minimal downtime
• Immediate results with continued improvement over time
Biostimulators are injectable treatments that work a little differently than traditional dermal fillers. Instead of simply adding volume, they stimulate your body's natural collagen production over time, helping to improve skin quality, firmness, and structure from within.
Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier.When injected:
Provides immediate volume and support
Stimulates your body to produce new collagen and elastin
Improves skin firmness, texture, and elasticity over time
Results continue to improve for several months after treatment
what can radiesse treat
Cheeks and mid-face volume loss
Jawline definition
Chin enhancement
Marionette lines
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Neck rejuvenation
Décolletage rejuvenation
Hands showing volume loss and visible veins/tendons

Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) treatments designed to deeply hydrate the skin, improve elasticity, and enhance overall skin quality from within. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, skin boosters are not intended to add volume or change facial contours. Instead, they focus on improving skin texture, luminosity, and hydration for a healthy, radiant glow.
How It Works
Microdroplets of hyaluronic acid are placed beneath the skin's surface, where they attract and retain moisture while stimulating the skin's natural rejuvenation processes. This helps improve hydration, smoothness, and elasticity over time.
BENEFITS OF DERMAL FILLERS
• Deeply hydrate the skin from within
• Improve skin texture and elasticity
• Enhance radiance and luminosity
• Help soften the appearance of fine lines
• Create a healthy, refreshed "glass skin" glow
• Suitable for the face, neck, décolleté, and hands
• Minimal downtime with natural-looking results
Every face is unique, and no two treatment plans are exactly the same. Treatment times can vary depending on your goals and the areas being treated. As a general guideline, neuromodulator appointments typically take approximately 15–30 minutes. A consultation will always be completed prior to treatment to ensure the most appropriate approach for your individual goals.
