What is Anti-wrinkle treatment?

09-11-2022

Anti-wrinkle treatment solution is made from a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin (Botox), and it has grown to be considered one of the safest and most widely researched products in today’s medical field. The injections are FDA approved to treat a variety of medical and cosmetic solutions including facial wrinkles, bruxism related muscle soreness, chronic migraines, upper lip repositioning and many more. Targeting signals in the nervous system, anti-wrinkle treatments work by temporarily relaxing the muscles from contracting to form unwanted wrinkles and lines.

Effects of Anti-wrinkle treatment

In order to achieve nonsurgical anti-aging results, anti-wrinkle treatment injections target “dynamic” wrinkles and lines and these occur when the patient squints, frowns, or makes other facial expressions. “Static” wrinkles exist when the face is at rest and these are best treated by dermal fillers. When anti-wrinkle treatment is done by highly qualified medical professionals such as the dentists at our practice, the effects will be subtle enough to reduce wrinkles during facial expressions without the face appearing frozen or paralysed. The effects of anti-wrinkle treatments are typically visible within 3-5 days of the injections, and continue to improve until the final result around 10-14 days.

What to Expect

• Consultation – Your first step is a free consultation, where our medical aesthetics experts will work with you to determine what your desired result is, how to best achieve this, and fully address any questions or concerns you have.
• The anti-wrinkle injection procedure can be as quick as 10-15 minutes depending on the number of areas being treated (e.g. forehead, glabellar, crows feet around the eyes, smokers lines on the lips).
• Anaesthesia is not necessary, however patients may elect to use a topical numbing cream. Pain or discomfort with this procedure is typically minimal and very brief.
• Botulinum toxin powder mixed with saline is injected directly into the neuromuscular tissue.
• Because this procedure is so minimally invasive, anti-wrinkle treatment does not require any downtime or recovery period!
• We simply advise avoiding exercise, swimming or sauna activities for 24hours.
• Typically results can be expected to last around 3 months before topping up of the areas may be necessary.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal filler injections work to replenish hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring protein substance within the skin that diminishes with age. Hyaluronic acid is what creates youthful volume, and when it decreases, fine lines and wrinkles can set in. The gel-filled syringes of dermal fillers are injected by one of our highly trained medical professional dentists at the practice and they can target areas such as the lips, cheeks, troughs under the eyes, jawline and chin area. Dermal fillers work to increase collagen production and add volume to the desired areas with hyaluronic acid.

Effects of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to meet a variety of aesthetic needs and in order to achieve nonsurgical anti-aging results. Dermal filler injections are versatile so can be used on younger patients simply looking to plump the lips and reshape facial features, or they are also effective on those looking to fill in fine lines and wrinkles. Our dentists use expert techniques to allow for effects that create subtle improvements instead of dramatic unnatural results. Dermal fillers can be used to achieve the following results:

• Plump up thin lips
• Volumize cheek structure
• Increase chin volume and definition
• Reshape side profile
• Improve jawline definition
• Lift sagging eyelids
• Reduce the appearance of scarring
• Soften the appearance of wrinkles
