Facial Aesthetics & Rejuvenation

Rejuvenate your skin!
Facial Aesthetics

‍As we get older, our skin starts to show signs of ageing. It’s an inevitable part of life and can lead to us feel less confident. Winkles develop as skin cells divide more slowly, and the middle layer of the skin, called the dermis, begins to thin. The dermis is composed of a network of elastin and collagen fibres, which offer support and elasticity and over time this causes the depressions in the skin.

Our qualified clinicians have a range of facial aesthetic treatments that can help combat these wrinkles. Whether you wish to smooth away noticeable lines that appear when you laugh, frown or smile.

We also have options available for those that suffer from migraines and jaw pain.

Why visit your dental practice for facial aesthetics?

Our clinicians are experts in the facial anatomy, not just teeth and gums. We have high standards of care and have carried out extensive training in the field to make sure that any clinicians offering services are fully qualified to do so.

Hyperhidrosis– Excess Sweating

Injectables have come to be widely used in managing primary hyperhidrosis when topical treatments have failed. The treatment works by blocking the nerve signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active. It takes three to four days for the results of Botox injections for hyperhidrosis to become evident.

Injectables for clenching & Grinding

We offer injectables into the master muscle near the TMJ (temporo mandibular joint) to prevent you from clenching and grinding your teeth. The injectables weaken the muscle enough to stop the habitual grindinghabit bringing relief to the TMJs and significantly relaxes the muscle relieving symptoms such as headaches, migraines, and tooth wear.

Gummy smiles

Reducing the ‘gumminess’ of smiles can be done in two different ways. One would be through the use of antiwrinkle relaxant injections. The muscles relaxant is injected into area between the upper lip and the nose and reduces the movement of muscle.

The otherway to reduce the visibility of your gums when you smile would be through crown lengthening surgery. See Crown Lengthening

Dermal Fillers

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers work by boosting the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid, dermal fillers revitalise and add volume to the skin, instantly diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and giving a natural softer look.

Dermal fillers are a soft injectable gel consisting of stabilized, non-animal hyaluronic acid. The gel is tissue-friendly and closely resembles the hyaluronic acid that exists naturally in the body. It is long-lasting but not permanent.

What areas can be treated?

Commonly treated areas include:

Nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines)
Upper and lower cheeks
Oral commissures (corners of the mouth)
Marionette lines (lines below the mouth corners)
Lips
Tear trough (hollowness beneath the eyes)
Smoker’s lines (area above and below the lip)
Jaw line
Jowls
Chin
Nose reshaping
Temples

How long does it last?

They last between 6-18 months

How long does the procedure take?

Approximately 30-60 minutes

Does it hurt?

There may be a slight discomfort whilst the filler is being injected into the face. We minimise this by applying an topical anaesthetic cream before treatment.

Obagi

What is Obagi and how does it work?

Obagi aims to “correct” rather than “prevent” so that your skin can look and feel it’s very best. With their wide array of products to choose from whilst at the same time supporting diversity, Obagi prides itself on the development of scientifically backed, clinical-quality formulations that promote healthy skin with over 30 years of research.

Obagi offers different systems that can completely transform problem skin and tackle a range of concerns, no matter what they are.

The home care systems include different:

Creams
Cleansers
Toners
Exfoliators

These are some of the conditions that Obagi system can help with:

Sun damaged skin
Hyperpigmentation and uneven ski tones
Sigs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkle

Obagi Radiance Peel

This helps quickly and effectively exfoliate the top surface-level of the complexion, leaving behind smoother and clearer skin. We recommend 1-3 before starting the home care regime.

What areas can you treat?

Face
Neck

How long does it last?

Once you have completed the 16 to 24 week programme. You may then feel you want to continue with the maintenance programme, or you may choose not to.
‍

Does it hurt?

No there is no pain.

How long does the procedure take?

A blue peel treatment takes 30 mins and we advise up to 3 treatments. Once you begin the home treatment course this is between 16 & 24 weeks. You may then feel you want to continue with the maintenance programme, or you may choose not to. The treatment course is between 16 & 24 weeks.

When do you see results?

While results can vary depending on how your skin reacts to the treatment, there is a high percentage of regular Obagi users that claim that the Obagi transformation systems have significantly improved the way their skin looks. However, if you don’t see an improvement after 12 weeks of regular use, it is recommended that you seek further consultation from your skincare professional.

There are testimonials from Obagi users from as early as 2 weeks of use which state that they can see improvements in their skin. Such improvements followed the use of the Obagi Nu-Derm System which was referenced as fading melasma and “tough spots”.
‍

Is there any downtime?

Your skin may become redder than usual, or you may experience dryness and flaking, itchiness or greater sensitivity than you do normally. If you are treating acne, this may appear to get worse.

It really is worth thinking about the timing when you start the treatment. Don’t begin it just before a holiday, a family celebration, or a wedding! You will need to stick with the system for the full course of 16 weeks or more to see the end result.

This type of reaction will occur within the first 6 weeks of using Obagi. This is the time when the top layer of your skin is being removed. For most, this is a short experience, and the worst is quickly over. The good news is that this means a new layer of healthy skin cells will be revealed, which is your ultimate goal.

What are the risks & side effects?

You have had a reaction to a certain product or ingredient in the past
You have extremely sensitive skin (ask Alisha our skin expert for advice)
You suffer from conditions such a dermatitis or eczema which could be irritated when using certain conditions like tretinoin
You are pregnant

Are there any contraindications?

People with prior history of sensitivity or allergic reaction to this product or any of its ingredients should not use it. The safety of topical hydroquinone use during pregnancy or in children (12 years and under) has not been established.

How much does it cost?

Single treatment £80
Course of 3 £225
Course of 6 £420

Profhilo

What is Profhilo and how does it work?

Profhilo is a dermal filler treatment that works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. This increase in new collagen and elastin production makes the skin more elastic and firmer, and also helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. The filler is made from hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance produced in our body, found in skin, joints and other connective tissue. Its role is to aid collagen production and retain moisture in the body. It can hold 1000 times its weight in water which makes it ideal for binding moisture in the skin. Hyaluronic acid production slows as we get older making the skin appear duller and dehydrated, and fine lines and wrinkles begin to from.

Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of stabilised hyaluronic acid. It acts as a hydrator not as a filler because it is thermally bonded and not chemically bonded. It is injected just underneath the surface of the skin where it disperses quickly and reacts with your own tissue to instantly boost hydration. During Phase two it then starts to boost elastin and collagen production. This effectively remodels the skin and giving it a plumper, smoother and firmer appearance. Profhilo has a smooth consistency like gel which ensures the smooth appearance and even distribution. This means it’s an excellent choice for more difficult areas to treat like the neck and forehead.

What areas can you treat?

Face
Neck
Decollete
Arms
Hands
Knees

How long does it last?

Profhilo generally lasts 6 months if 2 treatments are given one month apart. After the initial treatments, we recommend coming back to see us every 6-9 months.

How long does the procedure take?

The full treatment consists of two sessions, one month apart. A further session may be recommended after approximately six months to prolong the effect.

When do you see results?

Profhilocan be used on its own or in conjunction with other fillers, laser treatmentsor Botox as a complementary, rather than a competitive treatment.

In most cases, patients notice a visible improvement in their skin's texture and tone after just one treatment. However, you can expect to see the full results 4-6 weeks after treatment.

Does it hurt?

Profhilo is injected just under the skin using very fine needles in pre-determined points. It is relativley painless and there is usually no need for topical pain relief creams prior to treatment. The treatment itself is very quick, taking only about 10 minutes.

Is there any downtime?

There is no downtime. After treatment you should avoid wearing make-up, and strenuous physical activity a should be avoided for 24 hours It is also best to avoid saunas and steam rooms for a few days after treatment.

What are the risks & side effects?

There are no long-term side effects. Profhilo is metabolised by the body completely. Some people may experience redness, slight bruising, tenderness as well as itching at the injection sites but these were temporary and should resolve within a few hours to a day.

Are there any contraindications?

Patients with bleeding disorders or a compromised immune system due to, for example, infectious diseases, cancer, HIV or diabetes should consult their doctor before considering Profhilo. Cosmetic injectable treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
