Wave Goodbye to Wrinkles with Botox and Restylane Dermal Fillers

Aging is a perfectly natural process, but it’s not something that most of us particularly enjoy, especially the physical effects. Luckily nowadays you don’t have to put up with them. Bromley Dental Practice can help make over your smile and your looks as Dr Zaki Bashir can provide patients with aesthetic beauty treatments including Botox and dermal fillers.

Dentist BromleySome people might be quite surprised to learn dentists provide these kinds of treatments, but when you think about it your Bromley dentist is perfectly placed to do so. After all they have undertaken years of medical training in order to qualify as a dentist and know exactly how all the facial muscles work. This means they can apply the exact amount of Botox or fillers needed to provide an incredibly natural looking appearance that will keep people guessing as to whether or not you’ve had any work done.

Botox contains the botulinum toxin which might sound alarming but in fact it’s extremely safe. It’s injected into the facial muscles to help weaken the signals from the nerves that tell the facial muscles to contract. This has the effect of smoothing out unwanted wrinkles and crow’s feet. The effect can last anywhere from 3 to 5 months. A common concern is worrying that your facial muscles will be completely paralyzed and you will not be able to move them or show any facial expressions or emotions. This is certainly not the case, as you’ll still be able to move your facial muscles normally, just a little less than before. Your dentist in Bromley will make sure to only use the minimum amount necessary to get an extremely good effect.

Dermal fillers work in a slightly different way and Bromley Dental Practice uses a very well-known and respected brand called Restylane. Dermal filler is actually a form of hyaluronic acid. This is a substance that is produced naturally by the body, but production gradually declines as we age. Its purpose is to help the skin remain hydrated, and to provide volume, creating a more youthful look. The effects of dermal fillers gradually reduce after a few months but tend to last a little longer than Botox.

If you’re interested in refreshing your looks then it’s best to book a consultation with your dentist in Bromley. This is your chance to ask all the questions you might have about treatment, and to find out how much it will cost. At the start of your evaluation you might think you’ll only need one treatment or the other, but quite a few people can benefit from using a combination of both. This won’t necessarily be any more expensive as your dentist will need to use less of each. Using a combination of both treatments can often prove to be highly effective, as some wrinkles may be more deep-seated and will benefit from dermal fillers, while more recent wrinkles may be just fine with a little bit of Botox. Finally, Botox and dermal fillers aren’t just for the girls, as plenty of men are beginning to take advantage of this treatment as after all, we all want to look our best.

Refreshing Your Looks with Botox

Botox is a great way to get a fresher look, and this treatment is very non-invasive and quick. You will need to book a consultation with one of our Bromley dentists to find out if this treatment will work well for you. It is ideal for treating frown lines in between the eyes, and for treating wrinkles that are not particularly deep seated such as early signs of wrinkles or crow’s feet around the eyes, or the first signs of wrinkles on the forehead.

Dentist BromleyTreatment can be completed within just ten minutes, as our dentists in Bromley will have identified the best locations for the injections which are administered using very fine needles, minimising discomfort. You might see some redness around the injection sites in the first few hours after treatment, and you may experience a small amount of bruising, but this should quickly clear up. It does take up to a week or so for the full results of treatment to become visible, and afterwards the effects should last approximately four months before they need topping up.

One of the things that concerns people about having Botox is that they will end up unable to express emotions, as everybody has seen actors and celebrities who seem completely unable to move their faces anymore. This will definitely not happen when you have Botox in Bromley, as our dentists only ever use the smallest amounts necessary to help relax the facial muscles, while still allowing you to move your face. The results should look very natural, and it will certainly not be obvious that you have had any work carried out. The idea is to make you look refreshed and well-rested.

Treating More Deep-Seated Wrinkles

Botox is great for many different types of wrinkles, but is not always so effective for wrinkles and folds that are well established. In this case you may need to look at an alternative form of treatment, and we do offer our patients dermal fillers. We use a brand called Restylane that is extremely well-tested and researched, and which can provide very good results. Restylane is very effective at helping to replace lost volume in the skin, something that happens naturally as we age as the skin begins to lose its plumpness. It is ideal at helping to reduce wrinkles around the mouth, and at revitalising facial features. It can give the skin a refreshed appearance as it uses a substance called hyaluronic acid that is produced naturally by the body, but production tends to drop as part of the aging process.

The best way to find out which treatment will work best for you, or whether you would benefit from using a combination of Botox and Restylane, is to make an appointment to see Dr Zaki Bashir or another of our dentists in Bromley. We will only recommend this treatment if we think it will work well for you, and will give the results you are looking for. Both treatments will only provide temporary results, but both are extremely safe to use.
