Turn Back the Clock With Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are a natural purified protein that is used to relax your muscles and can help prevent/soften the muscles from contracting, which eliminates wrinkles and fine lines. Anti-wrinkle injections are an extremely effective, safe and affordable temporary treatment used to rejuvenate your skin and appearance, making you feel refreshed, youthful and happier.
The result of this treatment varies with each individual but tends to range between three and six months.
The treatment is straightforward and minimally invasive, meaning patients can resume usual activities straight after. However, it is important to note, due to the needle, slight bruising/swelling may be encountered. This can easily be masked with makeup.
A range of products can be used for these procedures and your dentist can help you individualise your needs to the materials.
The procedure is quick, and it can easily be done over your lunch hour or a coffee break. You won’t see results immediately from anti-wrinkle injections at our dental clinic; it can take up to 14 days for your skin to begin to look smooth.
Anti-wrinkle injections can smooth out wrinkles between the eyes, above the nose (the ‘angry 11′), crow’s feet or smile lines at the corners of the eyes and wrinkles around the mouth.
The cost of your anti-wrinkle treatment at our office will vary depending on how many units of the medication you need to achieve your goals. After conducting a comprehensive examination, we will provide you with an accurate estimate of the cost, so there are no surprises.
When patients are suffering from aching jaw joints, tension headaches, facial soreness and over-development of the jaw muscles, chronic pain can make it difficult to perform everyday tasks. Injections used for anti-wrinkle treatment have also been shown to be effective in relaxing the muscles in the jaw joint.
Anti-wrinkle injections can also be helpful for sufferers of bruxism, or teeth grinding, who come to our dental clinic seeking relief. Bruxism is usually a subconscious condition that can cause undue wearing down of the teeth. It can also lead to painful jaw joints.
If you have an upcoming special occasion, such as a wedding or reunion, you might be considering anti-wrinkle treatment before your big day. Our dentists recommend that you plan ahead and arrange your appointment at our dental clinic for anti-wrinkle injections about three weeks before your event. This will help ensure you look your best.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are an excellent, fast and easy way to restore volume, plumpness and hydration in aged skin. They work to improve appearance by filling wrinkles, deep creases and fine lines, plumping cheeks, lips, jawline and under the eyes giving you a youthful appearance. Essentially, dermal fillers fill in areas of the face where the original volume of the skin has been lost because of the ageing process.
Filler injections give visibly instant results with minimal downtime and discomfort. Bruising, swelling and redness can occur but should settle within a few days with results lasting anywhere between six and 24 months.
You can feel confident getting dermal fillers at our dental clinic. Our dentists are experienced with full facial anatomy knowledge and have taken courses to learn how dermal fillers can be used to provide patients with optimal results.
Dermal fillers are generally made from hyaluronic acid (HA), which is classified as a glycosaminoglycan. It is a safe, biocompatible material that is well accepted by the body.
Areas of the Face That Are Most Commonly Treated with Dermal Fillers
These are the areas of the face we most commonly treat with dermal fillers:
- Lines that form from the nose to the mouth
- Lines at the corners of the mouth, also referred to as marionette lines
- To add volume and shape to the lips
- To enhance the chin or cheeks
- To sculpt the jawline
Before a Special Event
Just as with anti-wrinkle injections at our dental clinic, we recommend planning ahead if you have an upcoming special occasion. Three weeks prior to the big day is a good rule of thumb.
