Holding back the years

Here at Raynesway Dental Practice we realise that as well as wanting your smile to look great, you’d also like the rest of your face to look equally good. Facial aesthetic treatments help to remove or reduce lines, and improve facial contours. As dentists we are ideally placed to carry them out because of our advanced knowledge of the structure of facial tissue, and our experience in carrying out intricate procedures.

Botox

Botox® is well-known for its wrinkle-removing effects. It is now one of the top-selling non-surgical cosmetic treatments in the UK, and continues to gain in popularity.

It works on facial lines that have been caused by repeated muscle movements, such as frown lines, lines across the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes. It can also prove effective on lines around the lips and the corners of the mouth.

The procedure is effective and simple. Botox® is injected in tiny quantities, and with a very small needle, directly into the muscles that are being treated. It works by relaxing the muscles, so they are no longer habitually contracting. This means the lines caused by the muscle movement are significantly reduced or erased.

Results start to appear after about 24-72 hours, with the main effect appearing after about a week. Your face will look smoother, younger and more relaxed, potentially taking years off your appearance.

Hydra Fill

Hydra Fill® is a natural material called hyaluronic acid, which binds with the water within your skin to lift it and make it firmer.

It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as enhancing your lips to make them appear fuller and less lined around the edges, helping to erase facial lines, and to generally improve your facial contours.
