Facial Aesthetics treatments at Tunbridge Wells Dental Practice

Tuesday 9th, January, 2024

In recent years, the allure of facial aesthetic treatments has remarkably grown, reflecting a broader trend towards non-invasive procedures that rejuvenate and enhance natural beauty.

Botox and dermal fillers are popular among these treatments, known for their efficacy and transformative results. In Tunbridge Wells, our dentists are highly trained in providing these sought-after services.

Leveraging our extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and a commitment to aesthetic excellence, we offer an array of treatments, including Botox, dermal fillers, and innovative facials like the Fire and Ice Facial.

Why choose a dentist for your facial treatments?

The answer lies in our profound understanding of facial structure. As dental professionals, our daily work revolves around the face’s intricate anatomy. This expertise positions us uniquely to administer treatments like Botox and dermal fillers with precision and artistry.

Our Tunbridge Wells team is skilled in dental care and extensively trained in aesthetic procedures, ensuring outcomes that harmonise perfectly with your natural features.

Botox at Tunbridge Wells Dental Centre

Botox, a brand name for a botulinum toxin, works by temporarily paralysing muscles in a controlled procedure. Here’s a more detailed explanation of how it functions:

  1. The Nature of Botox: Botox is derived from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, called botulinum toxin. It can safely and effectively reduce wrinkles and treat certain medical conditions when used in small, controlled doses.
  2. Mechanism of Action: When injected into specific muscles, Botox blocks the nerve signals that make muscles contract.
  3. Cosmetic Uses: In terms of cosmetic applications, Botox is primarily used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. Common areas for Botox injections include the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the brows. By relaxing the underlying muscles, Botox can smooth out wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions.
  4. Medical Uses: Beyond cosmetic applications, Botox is also used to treat various medical conditions, including chronic migraines, TMD and jaw pain, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), muscle spasticity, certain bladder disorders, and even eye squints (strabismus).
  5. Duration of Effects: The effects of Botox are temporary. They typically last about 3 to 6 months. Muscle action gradually returns, and the wrinkles reappear, necessitating further treatments to maintain the effect.
  6. Safety and Considerations: Botox injections are generally safe when administered by a qualified professional. However, potential side effects can include pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, headache, flu-like symptoms, and, in rare cases, more severe effects like issues with swallowing, speaking, or breathing due to weakening of associated muscles.

Anyone considering Botox treatment must consult with a qualified healthcare professional to ensure the safety and appropriateness of the treatment for their individual needs.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used in cosmetic dermatology to restore volume, smooth lines, soften creases, or enhance facial contours. Here’s an overview of how they work:

  1. Composition of Fillers: Most modern facial fillers are composed of substances compatible with the body. The most common type is hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin, known for its capacity to attract and retain water, which helps keep the skin hydrated and voluminous.
  2. Mechanism of Action: Fillers add volume to the treated area when injected beneath the skin. This can immediately smooth out wrinkles and folds, restore lost volume, and enhance facial contours. For example, fillers can plump thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases, remove wrinkles, and improve the appearance of recessed scars.
  3. Areas of Application: Common areas for filler injections include the cheeks (to restore lost volume), the nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth), marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth downward), lips (for augmentation), and under the eyes (to address hollowness).
  4. Duration of Effects: The effects of dermal fillers can last from 6 months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated.
  5. Immediate Results and Minimal Downtime: One of the appealing aspects of facial fillers is that the results are typically immediate, and there is little to no downtime after the procedure. Some minor side effects can include swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site, but these usually subside quickly.
  6. Reversibility and Safety: An advantage of hyaluronic acid fillers is that they are reversible. If the result is not as desired, hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the filler. As with any cosmetic procedure, risks are involved, so it’s essential to have fillers injected by a qualified and experienced professional.

What’s the best treatment for me?
