Non Surgical Facial Cosmetic Treatment

BOTOX® anti-wrinkle treatment in Wootton Bassett and Swindon

What is BOTOX® used for?

Muscle relaxants have been used for years to treat muscular problems including eyelid spasm and facial spasms. The ageing face has wrinkles and furrows which may develop as a result of weakened Collagen in the skin from sun exposure and gravity, or due to excess facial muscle action on the skin.

How does BOTOX® work?

What areas can be treated with BOTOX®?

Ideal areas for treatment are those wrinkles caused by muscles that have no significant function such as the deep creases between the eyebrows, crow's feet and forehead lines.

Treatment can also be used to smooth the skin of the neck and décolletage.

How long do BOTOX® injections take and is it painful?

Good results can be obtained after a single injection and the effect generally lasts between 3 and 4 months. The procedure is simple to perform and most patients find the injections only cause a mild sting lasting seconds.

How long does BOTOX® last?

Repeat treatments are usually needed approximately every 3-4 months over a 12 month period. It is encouraging to note that clinical trials report that some patients who have had treatment over 12 months only require further treatments once or twice the following year. It is important to be aware that it takes between 5-7 days for the treatment to work.

What are the side effects of BOTOX®?

If they do occur they are;

1. Temporary
2. Mild to moderate
3. Slight bruising from the injection

Dermal Fillers

 

Juvéderm® Ultra Dermal Fillers at the Cottage Dental Clinic

Juvéderm® ULTRA is a range of smooth consistency gels made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in our skin that helps to hydrate and adds volume. It instantly smoothes away facial wrinkles and folds  and restores the skin’s volume; it can also be used to redefine lips. It is a smooth consistency gel that flows easily into the skin for a smooth, natural look and feel.

This product is unique because it contains Lidocaine (a built-in anaesthetic) which makes the injection process a more comfortable experience. No allergy/skin test is required as the products are of natural origin. Results are instant with minimal down time.

As with all dermal fillers, how long the results of the treatment last varies from patient to patient and is due to a number of factors. However, results usually last in excess of 6 months and in some cases, can be up to a year.  To retain the results, we would recommend maintenance treatments.

1. Juvéderm® ULTRA - Comes in three formulations for more natural-looking, customisable results.
2. Juvéderm® ULTRA 2 - Erases moderate lines, especially those around the lips and corners of the eyes and those very close to the surface of the skin.
3. Juvéderm® ULTRA 3 - Smoothes wrinkles between the nose and corner of the mouth and around lips. It can be used very subtly to plump out lips in order to maintain a youthful smile.
4. Juvéderm® ULTRA 4 - Works on the most noticeable folds and lines, and improves the contour of the face.
