Botulinum toxin (Botox®) and dermal fillers are a safe and virtually pain-free way to reduce facial wrinkles for younger, healthier looking skin.
At b dental we offer carefully planned treatment by a qualified facial surgeon with a special interest in facial aesthetics. Depending on your individual needs, Botox and dermal fillers will be used either separately or in combination to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How do the treatments work?
Botulinum toxin works by relaxing muscle tissue and is well suited for areas around the face where skin tissue has weakened. This includes forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows and crows’ feet around the eyes. Dermal fillers use naturally occurring molecules to increase lost skin volume and smooth out unwanted folds and wrinkles. They are especially suitable for pronounced smile lines, lip plumpness and cheek augmentation. Both Botox and fillers work together to give you a generally more relaxed and youthful appearance.
What do the treatments involve?
After an initial consultation and treatment planning, a few tiny injections are administered into specific areas of your face. Most people report only short-lived minor discomfort while this is being done and anaesthetic cream or cold packs can be used if you prefer.
What about 'downtime'?
The huge advantage regarding these treatments is that there is no recovery period. You will be able to drive and engage in all your normal activities straight afterwards. There might be some slight bruising at the injection sites but otherwise there should be no visible signs of your skincare treatment.
How long do the treatments last?
You should start to see a visible effect in the treated areas within a few days. This may increase for up to a week. After between 3 and 4 months the effects start to wear off and repeated treatment is necessary to maintain the effects. The duration of the effect will increase slightly after repeated treatments.
Who carries out these treatments?
All Facial Rejuvenation treatments at B Dental are carried out by Dr Jonathan Collier, a qualified facial and oral surgeon with a special interest in facial aesthetics. Dr Collier is available at B Dental for consultations and treatment Friday afternoons and alternate Saturday mornings.
