Anti-wrinkle treatments in Peterborough

Relax… you look better

We are inclined to develop fine lines and wrinkles as part of the natural ageing process. Skin cells become less effective at repairing themselves and produce less collagen, so skin becomes thinner and less elastic.

How quickly that happens is partly genetic, but lifestyle matters too. Ultraviolet (UV) light, smoking, a high-sugar diet, lack of sleep and stress can all affect cell repair and collagen production.

How the treatment works

We use botulinum toxin, a naturally-occurring muscle relaxant, to reduce the contraction of the facial muscles that fold the skin. With those muscles softened, the skin above them lies smoother — and the lines have a chance to settle rather than deepen.

The effects of one treatment can last anything from three to five months. If an area has not responded as fully as we would like, we will top it up free of charge within three weeks.

Treated properly, the result should look like you, rested. Postoperative complications are rare.

Why have facial aesthetics at a dental practice?

Dentists work with the anatomy of the face every working day, injecting in this region with precision under strict cross-infection control, in a regulated clinical environment. It is a natural extension of the skills already used at the chair.
