Facial Injectables in Tweed Heads
TC Smiles understands that a dentists’ role isn’t just confined to the inside of the mouth.
Facial injectables may be considered for certain cosmetic concerns following an individual assessment of your needs and treatment goals. We’ll discuss your concerns, assess your suitability for treatment and explain the available options, including potential risks, benefits and alternatives. All procedures, costs and aftercare will be fully detailed to you.
The Causes of Wrinkles
Wrinkles can encompass a ridge, fold or crease in your skin. They are a natural part of ageing that is inevitable. Your skin thins, loses elasticity, becomes drier and isn’t as capable of regeneration as the years go by.
Some of the factors that contribute to the ageing of your skin include:
- Exposure to UV rays – Whether artificial or natural, UV light is detrimental to your skin’s health. It breaks down elastin and collagen, which give the skin elasticity.
- Dehydration: Did you know that 60% of your body is water? If you’re dehydrated, your skin will lose the volume that is provided by water molecules.
- Smoking: If you smoke, your skin has a reduced blood supply and flow. Oxygen and other nutrients aren’t delivered to your skin as they should be.
During your consultation, we’ll assess the factors contributing to your concerns and discuss whether facial injectables or other treatment options may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.
The services we offer within facial injectables includes anti-wrinkle therapy and cosmetic dermal fillers.
Anti-Wrinkle Therapy
The muscles in your face are constantly being used, whether you’re aware of it or not. The skin on top of your muscles moves, too. As the muscle constantly moves, the skin above it will wrinkle where the muscle is contracting. Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily relaxing selected facial muscles. This may reduce the appearance of certain dynamic lines and wrinkles.
Only trained professions can administer this prescription. Prescription-only anti-wrinkle medicines are administered following an assessment by an appropriately qualified practitioner where clinically appropriate.
The duration of treatment effects varies between individuals and will be discussed during your consultation.
Most commonly, people have anti-wrinkle injections in their forehead, crow’s feet and frown lines.
Cosmetic Dermal Fillers
If you have areas of skin where the volume has been lost, dermal fillers may be an option for some patients, depending on their individual needs and suitability.
Since your skin loses collagen and elastin with age, the skin appears thinned out and sags. Dermal fillers are used to add volume to selected areas of the face where clinically appropriate.
Our dermal fillers contain naturally-occurring substances found in your skin such as hyaluronic acid, fat and collagen. Treatment aims vary depending on the area being treated and your individual treatment goals.
Dermal fillers provide a non-surgical treatment option for selected cosmetic concerns where appropriate.
The duration of dermal filler treatment varies depending on the product used, the treatment area and individual factors.
How long they’ll last depends on how full you want the area to be and the desired location of the injection.
