If you’re looking to combat the visible signs of ageing or minimise the appearance of scars, consider facial aesthetics Stockwell.

Thanks to dermal fillers, patients are able to enjoy a more youthful appearance with plumper skin. We are delighted to be able to offer patients the opportunity to have facial aesthetics Stockwell here at SW9 Dental and look forward to assisting you. Our qualified team of dental practitioners are on hand to help with any queries and are happy to offer support and guidance.

Enjoy an array of benefits thanks to dermal fillers

If you are considering having facial aesthetics Stockwell performed on your skin, why not consider dermal fillers to help reduce the appearance of scars? The treatment offers no need for downtime and the results can be enjoyed soon after the treatment takes place. For optimal results we recommend that patients wait around 14 days to enjoy the full effects of the procedure.

If you feel that your self-confidence levels may be negatively affected as a result of scars, a cosmetic treatment such as dermal fillers may be the best solution for you. They can help to diminish the appearance of scarring and will boost your confidence in the process.

Patients are able to treat lines around their mouth and nose, as well as those that appear on their cheeks or lower and upper lip as well. Patients that are heavy smokers may find that they are experiencing more noticeable lines around their mouth. These can be reduced with the help of dermal fillers as they are great at adding firmness to the skin.

So, how exactly do fillers work?

One of the main ingredients of dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid. This substance helps to plump and nourish your skin resulting in a firmer appearance and youthful glow.

Lines and wrinkles may start to appear on your face for a number of reasons. The most common reasons include natural ageing, smoking or ill health. Choose dermal fillers to help restore volume to your skin and create a fuller enhancement.

When receiving a facial aesthetics treatment such as dermal fillers, the solution is injected directly into the patient’s skin on the affected area. The solution is administered using a fine needle and numbing cream may be applied beforehand to help minimise any discomfort.

The filler is then inserted directly into the muscle that is located underneath the surface of the skin. Some patients may experience a slight stinging sensation, while others have reported to feel no side effects as a result of the numbing cream. Those patients with sensitive skin may experience some bruising following the injection, but there are normally no other instances of pain or discomfort. Any bruising will resolve itself within a few days.

Enjoy results within a few hours following treatment

One of the main advantages of choosing to have a dermal filler is that the results can be enjoyed instantly. We recommend that patients wait around 14 days in order to see the full effects of the treatment, but a noticeable difference can be seen immediately after the procedure has taken place.

With a diverse range of treatments in facial aesthetics in Stockwell available at SW9 Dental, there is no reason why anyone, male or female of any age, should have their appearance tied to their chronological age. Now patients can target a range of facial ageing symptoms such as the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, loss of skin elasticity and loss of volume.

We have found anti-wrinkle treatments a very popular option in facial aesthetics in Stockwell at our clinic. The treatments we offer are intended to help patients not only look their best selves, but to feel younger too. Non-invasive cosmetic procedures should be about enhancing those facial qualities patients love about themselves.

Many patients seem to have the same cosmetic goals and concerns when considering minimally invasive aesthetic treatments. To us, ensuring our patients receive all the information they need to make an informed decision regarding their health is an important part of what we do. Here we cover some of the most pressing questions we get asked by our patients regarding facial aesthetics in Stockwell, and in particular, anti-wrinkle treatments.

Common questions patients have about anti-wrinkle treatments

1.  How natural are the results?

One of the best parts of non-surgical cosmetic treatment is its more subtle results – ideal for patients who are looking for a low key anti-ageing treatment. These treatments do not focus on drastically changing a patient’s appearance. What our patients receive is a more refreshed look.  More importantly, when performed by a registered medical professional, these treatments are safe. There is less likelihood of risks such as infection and great care is taken to minimise discomfort.

Of course, the effectiveness of a treatment largely depends on the practitioner chosen to carry it out. It is important for patients to take a minute and consider why professional experience and skillset is vital to achieve this goal.

• Do injectable treatments hurt?

The level of discomfort varies from patient to patient, but once again, the expertise of the practitioner relates to how much or how little pain a patient experiences. Our highly qualified dental practitioners perform procedures every day that require mastered techniques in administering injections into the facial area. Thus they are extremely proficient in taking care to be gentle, so that should any discomfort be felt it is minimal and for a very short duration.

•  How long do facial injectable treatments last?

The average length of time for most anti-wrinkle treatments is between three to four months. The effects can be extended beyond this average time length by patients opting for ongoing treatment through touch-up applications and treating additional facial areas.

• Who will be performing the procedure?

At our dental clinic these anti-wrinkle treatments are administered by registered and experienced dental practitioners.

• What do these treatments cost?

The cost of aesthetic treatments will depend on the needs and goals of each patient. This will be discussed during the consultation appointment.

Life takes its toll on us, and as we get older, one place the strains and stresses of modern living never fail to show up is on our faces. It could be due to not enough sleep, too much work and commuting, or simply being a parent. Whatever the reason for having a tired looking face, there is a way to get it looking fresh and youthful again, and that’s with facial aesthetics.

At SW9 Dental in Stockwell, we offer facial aesthetics treatments that last a good few months, but are not permanent, like a surgical facelift. This means you can try them out and, if you don’t like the results, you can go back to looking how you did before. So why not come in and give them a go?

Both our injectable treatments are administered by dentists who were already highly skilled with injections and also highly knowledgeable about the anatomy of the face and neck. That’s why dentistry and facial aesthetics go so well together.

Botox

You can’t have been living on planet Earth and not heard of Botox. It’s been around for a good couple of decades now. This is the purified protein of the botulinum toxin. Originally developed to combat excessive sweating, Botox is now also used to relax wrinkles that are held in place by habitually contracted muscles. It works really well on wrinkles in the top third of the face – the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines. It’s also really good for smoker’s lines around the top lip. Botox works by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, which, over the week after treatment, gradually relax and smooth out. Treatments last around 4 months, so we recommend a top-up, if you like the results, after 3 months.

Dermal fillers

These injectables contain synthetic hyaluronic acid, a compound produced in the body that helps lock moisture into cells. Natural production of this acid reduces after the age of 30 and its lack is what makes our skin appear papery and lose its dewy glow. We use it to fill out wrinkles and hollows around the mouth. It can last 6 months.

Come in and give a try.

At SW9 Dental, we know that a lovely smile needs to go in a lovely frame, and how, if you get your smile made wonderful, it can make you want to improve your face too. This is why we offer facial rejuvenation treatments alongside our cosmetic dental treatments.

In Stockwell, facial aesthetics are increasingly popular because it provides a quick and easy way to soften facial wrinkles and lines and fill out the hollows that develop as the skin of the faces ages.

Botox

Botox is the brand name of the Botulinum type A toxin. We inject the Botox into areas with wrinkles, such as the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows, the crow’s feet around the eyes and surprise lines across the forehead. This blocks the nerve impulses that run along to the muscles, telling them to contract. Over the next few days, as the Botox slowly takes effect and effectively paralyses the tiny muscles holding the wrinkles in place, they smooth out and disappear. Treatments only take between five and ten minutes per area being treated. The full results of the treatment become visible between four days and one week after the treatment, as Botox works to relax the muscles gradually.

Dermal fillers

As we grow older and wiser, the deep skin of our face produces less collagen and elastin, which supports it and gives it volume. That is when we start to notice hollows and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are a simple, quick, injectable facial rejuvenation treatment to smooth and plump out the contours of the face to recreate younger-looking skin.

We use a brand of fillers that provides fantastic, lasting results. The active ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a sugar that is naturally found in the skin, tendons and muscles, which the body uses to retain moisture in the cells. As such, it is perfect for working to reduce a variety of natural ageing symptoms, including sad mouth lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, ageing lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers can also be used to enhance lip volume and contours.

Why not come along for a consultation and see how we can help you regain your youthful glow?

More and more of us want to stay looking younger for longer. Our image-focused society offers endless opportunities for us to present a picture of ourselves. Are you happy with yours?

Far from being a merely superficial concern, we at SW9 Dental know from talking to our patients that how we look deeply effects our self-esteem, confidence, relationships and sense of wellbeing. If we feel at ease with how we look, we are more relaxed with ourselves and others, and it makes so much more possible in our personal and professional lives.

We offer facial aesthetics in Stockwell as a natural extension of our existing cosmetic work. As highly trained medical professionals, we are well-suited to safely apply these delicate and precise treatments, to help you regain a more youthful appearance.

How does it work?

We offer two kinds of facial aesthetics in Stockwell: anti-ageing injections and dermal fillers.

Anti-ageing injections work by injecting botulinum toxin type A into wrinkles. This relaxes the muscles, causing the face to look smoother. Treatable areas include:

• Frown lines between the eyebrows.
• Eyebrows.
• Crow’s feet at the side of the eyes.
• Forehead lines.
• Lines around the mouth and top lip.

The treatment takes a maximum of 10 minutes and you will see results within a week. To maintain this look, you will need to top up every three months.

Dermal fillers use a hyaluronic acid gel to add plumpness to the face. The body naturally makes hyaluronic acid but it reduces as we age. The filler gives nature a boost by adding it to areas that need firming up. These include:

• Lips.
• Mouth to chin lines.
• Nose to mouth lines.
• Cheeks

This is also a quick treatment. We give you a local aesthetic to ease any discomfort then the injection itself takes a few minutes. You will see results straight away and the effects will last 6 – 12 months.

The dentist may not be your first port of call when looking to lift the look of your face. The beauty parlour or a doctor may spring to mind first.

However, your dentist is ideally suited to offer non-surgical cosmetic procedures for your face; providing a high quality, cost-effective treatment in Stockwell. Facial aesthetics are being offered by more and more dental surgeries.

Dentists spend years learning about the complex anatomy of the face, so administering facial aesthetics in Stockwell is a natural next step.

Smoother lines

Here at SW9 Dental, we offer two facial aesthetics treatments: anti-ageing injectable treatment and dermal fillers.

Anti-ageing injectable treatment is more commonly known as Botox. It works by injecting botulinum toxin type A into the tiny facial muscles that causes wrinkles. This causes the muscles to relax, thereby smoothing the appearance of the face.

The treatment is very quick – it takes 5-10 minutes to complete. The results show in between four to seven days and last for around three months.

Regain the youthful look

Dermal fillers use a synthetic form of a naturally occurring substance to plump up facial lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar found in the skin. As we age, we produce less of it. The dermal filler is a non-animal hyaluronic gel that we inject precisely into the areas that will benefit the most from this plumping effect.

This is also a very quick and easy treatment. We give you a local anaesthetic before applying the filler, which then takes a few minutes. Unlike the Botox-type treatments, you will see the effects straight away. The effect lasts 6 – 12 months and increases over time with repeated applications.

The success of both treatments depends upon the skill of the practitioner in knowing exactly where to apply the injection so it has the most natural looking effect. Therefore, it is essential to go to a trained medical professional if you want your Stockwell facial aesthetics treatment to look natural.

Drop into the surgery today to find out more about how facial aesthetics in Stockwell could help add a youthful spring to your step.

As we age, unwanted lines and wrinkles can start to appear on our faces. These are caused by the stresses and strains of everyday life, a lot of exposure to the sun and by dietary factors. The end result can be that we look far older than we feel.

Facial aesthetics treatments help to address these issues by replacing lost hyaluronic acid in the skin (in the case of dermal fillers) and by preventing the contraction of muscles that cause lines and wrinkles (in the case of Botox). A major benefit of having these treatments from a dentist trained in facial aesthetics is that dentists already have expert knowledge of facial anatomy, and can provide this delicate treatment in a safe and precise manner.

At SW9 Dental we offer treatment with Botox (botulinum toxin type A) and dermal fillers. The best treatment for you will depend on your individual wants and needs, and will be discussed at your initial facial aesthetics consultation.

Here’s the lowdown on how these treatments work. . .

Botulinum toxin

Botulinum toxin is used to treat:

• Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
• Smoker’s lines (around the mouth)
• Crows’ feet
• Forehead lines

Treatment with botulinum toxin is fast and painless, typically lasting a maximum of ten minutes. The botulinum is carefully injected and relaxes the tiny facial muscles by blocking nerve impulses to them, resulting in smoother looking skin. Results take between four and seven days to fully develop, and will last for at least three months.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are used:

• To treat lines, wrinkles and folds on the lower face
• For lip enhancement
• To shape facial, neck and hand contours

Local anaesthetic is applied first before the filler is carefully injected. Treatment only takes a few minutes and results will be seen immediately. Depending on which area is treated, results will last between six and 12 months.
