When you’re looking for a dentist Richmond, we’ve got you covered!
What may be a surprise is to learn that here at Sheen Dental, we also offer facial aesthetics to help freshen your face and make it look more youthful. We understand that this can seem rather odd, but it really isn’t as strange as it may at first appear, when you think about it.
Why should I go to a dentist Richmond for facial aesthetics?
Having injectable treatments for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is an area of treatment that can be done by practitioners who have very little experience or qualifications in the field of facial aesthetics. By choosing to have this treatment with a dentist Richmond, you are signing up to the highest standards in health and safety. Moreover, our dentists are experts in understanding facial anatomy, which really does help when dealing with the facial muscles. Also, dentists are highly experienced in carrying out delicate work and with over 25 years as an established practice, you can be sure that you are getting great care from our team.
What is involved in the procedure?
On the subject of facial rejuvenation, lines and wrinkles appear for many reasons, but there are small facial muscles that can be relaxed in order to reduce the appearance of them. Using either our injections of botulinum toxin type A or dermal fillers that contain a synthetic version of hyaluronic acid that comes from non-animal sources, we can treat frown lines, crow’s feet, lines on the forehead or around the mouth and upper lip. Hyaluronic acid is produced naturally by the body to give the skin its plump and smooth look, but this depletes with age. Both options are non-invasive procedures and they require no down time, so you can even pop in for a treatment on your lunch break.
How long do the results last for?
For botulinum toxin type A, once your 5-10 minute treatment is completed, you will only have to wait a few days to see results. We advise 4-7 days to see the optimum results. You can then enjoy your freshened appearance for up to 3 months, after which time we advise that you have further treatment to maintain the results you have achieved. With dermal fillers, you will also only need a few minutes for the treatment after receiving a local anaesthetic to ensure there is no pain. With this treatment you will see the results immediately and they can last for up to 6 to 12 months before you will require further treatment.
