Facial Aesthetics
Dermal fillers and wrinkle reduction treatments in South Yorkshire
Having a beautiful smile is great, but complementing that smile with a bright, healthy-looking complexion can improve self-esteem and overall quality of life. If you are concerned about wrinkles around your smile or your eyes, or deep-set expression lines that face creams can’t fix, the experienced team at Tickhill Dental can offer wrinkle-smoothing injections and dermal fillers to restore the youthfulness of your face and smile.
So why choose a dentist for facial aesthetics? If you’ve invested in your smile – perhaps with dental implants or teeth whitening – you don’t want the rest of your face to detract from it. Dentists can offer a holistic approach to your treatment planning, taking the whole complexion into account. And because dentists have an advanced knowledge of facial anatomy and an aesthetic eye for cosmetic treatments, they’re extremely well placed to carry out facial aesthetics such as wrinkle reduction (botulinum toxin, or ‘Botox’) and dermal fillers.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are growing in popularity as a way to restore, correct, or enhance your overall appearance. Safe and clinically proven, dermal fillers are a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in our bodies and is responsible for cell renewals. Injected into key areas of the face, dermal fillers plump skin from within, replacing the volume that is lost naturally as we age. They’re especially effective in the lips and cheekbones and can even be used to recontour the face, creating a more sculpted look.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Dermal fillers are temporary, as the body eventually absorbs the fluid. The effects of dermal fillers typically last anywhere from six to twelve months, depending on the individual. For a more accurate timeframe, speak to one of our team members today.
Are dermal fillers dangerous?
No. Dermal fillers are a safe and effective facial aesthetics procedure that can revitalise your overall appearance. They are not dangerous as they are made of the same naturally occurring hyaluronic acid that is present throughout your body.
Does wrinkle reduction require surgery?
Wrinkle reduction procedures do not require surgery, and a consultation with your dentist can determine which wrinkle reduction technique is right for you. Some of the most popular wrinkle removal treatments are painless and require no anaesthesia or downtime.
What is a wrinkle reduction treatment?
Wrinkle reduction treatments are more commonly known as Botox, though at Tickhill Dental & Implant Centre we recommend the generic ingredient botulinum toxin, which is also used by the Botox brand. Botulinum toxin is safe and backed by decades of scientific research. It works by temporarily freezing the facial muscles underneath the skin, smoothing away wrinkles and deep expression lines, such as those caused by frowning. It’s especially effective on the forehead, between the eyebrows and on laughter lines, or crow’s feet.
