Anti-Wrinkle

 you want to reduce the lines on your face without having to resort to surgical procedures, the good news is that facial rejuvenation techniques can soften wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. The benefit of having this treatment done by dentists is that they have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the facial anatomy and can perform this delicate work in a precise and safe manner.

​

Our practice uses the botulinum toxin type A for this treatment, an injectable aesthetic solution. Here is how it works:

​

1. Once injected into the skin the botulinum toxin relaxes the tiny facial muscles, which cause expression lines, by blocking the nerve impulses in them, leaving the skin looking smoother.

2. Areas on the face that can be treated include frown lines (vertical lines which form between the eyebrows), eyebrows, crow’s feet, forehead lines.

3. The injection is quick and painless, usually lasting around 5-10 minutes and requiring no anaesthetic. Results will usually be seen in a few days, sometimes taking between 7-14 days for the effects to be seen. 

​

As this is not a permanent treatment, the effects will wear off over time. It is therefore possible for the procedure to be repeated every 3-6 months for effective results.
