Facial aesthetics

Are you concerned about the effects of ageing on your appearance?

Wrinkles are part of the ageing process as, over time, the structural makeup of your skin alters. Skin slows down its ability to produce good collagen and elasticity from the late twenties. As the body ages, the appearance and characteristics of our skin change.

Age, hormones, sun exposure and smoking, all have a part to play, causing fine lines and wrinkles. Skin may feel slighter rougher and less elastic. The amount of Hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance produced by your skin, decreases with age, causing us to retain less water. The oil-producing (sebaceous) glands become less active and our skin becomes drier. The face also loses fat, so it looks less plump and smooth. As the ageing process progresses, we also find that everything ‘heads south’ and folds and lines appear that can be quite prominent.

As we get older, we start to see two kinds of wrinkles appear:

·       Dynamic lines which form only when moving the muscle, like a frown for example.

·       Static lines, which are wrinkles that have become ingrained into the skin due to the volume loss.

Treating both of these main components of facial ageing leads to natural, balanced, and refined outcomes.

Can you stop or slow down the process?

Of course, you can never stop the natural ageing process, but a healthy diet and lifestyle will help slow this down and may minimise aging effects. Regular exercise, keeping hydrated, along with a healthy diet will all help.

But if you’re looking for some help you to look rejuvenated, and restore your personal confidence, facial aesthetic treatments may be used to soften lines and define facial contours.   

We offer solutions to help you restore a healthier, younger looking you. These treatments are a fuss-free and straightforward option if you are looking to soften lines and wrinkles, or to lift your brows or jowls. Book a consultation to see if these treatments could suit you.

If ageing skin is a concern of yours then The Smile Spa are pleased to offer consultations for the following facial aesthetic treatments:

Why do dentists offer this treatment?

Dentists are highly knowledgeable about the anatomy of the face and understand how to treat it safely. They’re used to looking at people’s faces to observe symmetry and balance to create aesthetically pleasing smiles. Dentists also have skills honed with years of administering injections in difficult and restrictive areas, which also enables them to use traditional local anaesthesia if necessary.

Dermal fillers

Fa Split Pods 300720 Jl21

Dermal fillers are used to enhance, restore and re-volumise areas of the face where ageing and loss of skin elasticity has taken place.

As we age, the natural plumpness of our face can be lost, meaning that our skin can start to sag and create lines and folds that don’t always reflect how we feel within.

Dermal fillers consist of stabilised Hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in our own bodies. This is what gives us fresh-looking, hydrated skin.

Used in the right way and with precise techniques, fillers can recreate a natural-looking, more youthful appearance. Treatment can range from very subtle, gradual results, to a more defined full-face rejuvenation. We will work with you to offer the treatment that suits you best and plan appointments to fit your needs and budget.

Fillers can be used to treat cheeks (a great starting point), jawline, chin, lips, under-eye area, lines around the mouth and nose and also general lines and wrinkles.

    Our medically trained, GDC registered dental professionals have trained extensively in facial aesthetics and offer treatment with botulinum toxin to reduce forehead and frown lines and reduce the appearance of crows feet around the eyes. 

    Botulinum toxin can also be used to reduce clenching and grinding of teeth and prevent tooth wear, jaw joint pain and headaches related to teeth grinding.

    It can be used to reduce a gummy smile. This is caused when the lip muscle lifts the lip too high when smiling and shows a lot of gum tissue. This can make people too self-conscious to smile unguarded. We can help.

    Excessive sweating can be a socially-limiting problem, with sufferers having to restrict the types of clothes they wear or avoiding going out in warmer weather at all. Botulinum toxin works on the sweat-producing glands and stops them from producing too much sweat.
