Facial Aesthetics Treatment & Technique

Facial line and wrinkle reduction treatment is a minimally invasive technique that has revolutionised the cosmetic approach to the care of facial skin.

One method involves a liquid product that is injected to relax the muscles and decrease muscle movement. When the product is injected into the muscle that is casuing wrinkling of the skin, the overlying skin will temporarily become quite smooth resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Another approach injects biodegradable implants directly into the dermis of the skin to fill lines, folds and wrinkles, replacing any natuarl collagen that has been lost. Mouths can also become fuller and lips more clearly defined.

Both treatments are effective seperately although your dentist may advise you to combine the two treatments to acheive the best results.

Treatment normally takes around 15 minutes, requiring no recovery time and with a very low incidence of side effects. Although there may be moderate discomfort during the treatment using fine needles and the area is numbed with anaesthetic cream to avoid any pain.

In the hours that follow your treatment, you may see some slight swelling or small red marks. These can be easily masked with make-up. The area may be tender to touch for up to 48 hours but patients can reasonably expect to return to work or attend social engagements immediately after treatment.
