It is a normal process for our skin's structure to deteriorate as we mature. With constant exposure to wind, sunlight, cold and pollution, your skin is under constant attack which results in fine lines and wrinkles forming. At Wedmore Dental Practice our fully qualified dental clinicians are able to reduce theses lines and fill deep wrinkles, to give a subtle improvement on your appearance, which results in helping to preserve and restore youthful looking skin.
Botulinum Toxin Treatments
This is a very successful method to reduce (and in some cases even eliminate) frown lines,
wrinkled foreheads and laughter lines. In order to achieve these results,
tiny amounts of a bacterial toxin are injected at very specific sites to
reduce the activity of the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles in the
overlying skin. This has an effect only in the site of injection. The
material used is extremely safe and has been in use for over 20 years by
surgeons for the non-surgical treatment of squints and similar muscle
imbalances.
Before and After treatment of frown lines
Before and After treatment of "crow's feet"
In some instances, it is not appropriate to use Botulinum toxin; for example
in a very mobile area such as the lip, or where there is a natural fold in
the facial tissues. In these cases, dermal fillers are the treatment
of choice.
Dermal Fillers
We use a product called Juvederm Ultra® to smooth and plump deep
grooves. It is a non-animal hyaluronic acid based implant that
replenishes the body's own hyaluronic acid which declines with age.
Insoluble in water, Juvederm Ultra® acts as a molecular sponge - hydrating the
dermis of the skin by imprisoning the water molecules and giving back to the skin its
volume and initial form. Fine lines, wrinkles and folds are immediately
filled and corrected.

After
We advise a consultation
appointment prior to providing these treatments. This allows us to
thoroughly discuss and assess which method of treatment would suit your
individual requirements.
