Our dentist in West Byfleet: surprise, surprise!
If you have started to worry about the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, you may have tried several ways to improve the situation. You may have started drinking lots of water, using moisturisers and face masks and even trying facial yoga (yes, this really exists!). However, the results may not have been as impressive as you’d hoped. You may be surprised then to learn that, at Byfleet Dental, our dentist in West Byfleet can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with facial rejuvenation treatments.
Don’t be alarmed, though; we haven’t gone ‘cray-cray’ over here! Our dentists are professionals in facial anatomy, and they can treat your face effectively, using their expertise to deliver delicate procedures to the tiny facial muscles with needles.
How we can help
At Byfleet Dental, we have a couple of treatments that we use to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We have an anti-wrinkle treatment as well as dermal fillers. Our dentist in West Byfleet, here at Byfleet Dental, can discuss which treatment may be suitable for you.
Anti-wrinkle treatment
Our anti-wrinkle treatment involves softening the wrinkles on your face using a non-surgical procedure. By using botulinum toxin type A as an injectable solution, we inject the wrinkles to relax the muscles, blocking the nerve impulses and softening the lines that are causing you concern.
The treatment takes just 5 to 10 minutes, and you should be able to see an improvement in your appearance in as little as 4 to 7 days. Nevertheless, this treatment is not a permanent solution, so we advise that you have further treatments every 3 months to maintain the results.
The areas that we can treat are the forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet and smoker’s lines. It may not sound too glamorous, but you may well look it once you’ve had your treatment and treated yourself!
Dermal fillers
Another option available is dermal fillers, consisting of hyaluronic acid gels that are not derived from animals. Hyaluronic acid is produced naturally by the body and gives the skin its elasticity and youthful appearance. Over time, your body starts to produce less of this natural substance and this is where the injections can help. By injecting dermal fillers into the areas where your wrinkles are, we can plump up your skin. These fillers can also be used to give your lips a more enhanced pout.
The great thing about fillers is that they can last between 6 and 12 months before you need to have further treatment, and, like our other anti-wrinkle treatments, they don’t involve surgery and may be only mildly discomforting.
