Have you noticed fine lines around your mouth? Do you think your lips are thinner than they used to be? Or perhaps you wonder if your cheeks have lost a little of their shape?
Keeping youthful
As well as helping you to maintain your oral health and boost your smile, SpaDental practitioners can help to keep your skin looking youthful. We offer a range of facial rejuvenation treatments including dermal fillers, lip augmentation and treatments that are only available with a medical prescription.
Our dental practices follow strict clinical guidelines so you can be sure all treatments are delivered in a professionally regulated, safe setting.
As well as following a good skin care routine at home, your clinician will recommend appointments for further facial rejuvenation treatments to ensure your fresh new look is maintained.
Facial rejuvenation is an investment of time and money so it is important to consider the implications and results carefully. Our team is willing to discuss your options with you. Please ask in your surgery for more information.
Dermal Fillers
For a beautiful boost
Our safe, effective dermal fillers are injected into the skin to restore volume in areas of lost elasticity.
As we age, our skin loses hyaluronic acid, a moisture attracting substance that keeps skin looking young. Using safe dermal fillers reduces wrinkles, boosts fullness and improves definition. Treatment takes only 10-15 minutes and the results are immediately obvious, so you’ll leave the practice with noticeably better-looking skin.
Dermal Fillers
give facial contours a more youthful look
are a quick and safe procedure with instant results
have long-lasting effects
Looking after your skin
The results of dermal fillers should last for several months, but they are not permanent. If you want to retain your younger looking skin for longer, just pop back for a top-up treatment.
Lip Augmentation
For a fuller smile
As we get older, our lips can start to develop wrinkles and lose their youthful fullness and definition. This is due to a loss of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, which attracts and retains water. We can replace this substance with dermal fillers, which will help to combat signs of ageing and give your pout a subtle boost.
The gel-like filler is injected using a very fine needle, followed by a gentle massage to ensure even distribution in the skin.
How lip augmentation helps:
corners of the mouth are gently lifted
lips look plumper and more defined
quick, simple treatment process
Keeping your lips in good shape
Although the treatment is only minimally invasive, there may be some swelling or sensitivity after the treatment. Be sure to contact your dentist in the unlikely event of considerable swelling or discomfort. It is better to schedule the treatment for about two weeks prior to an important event.
As with all non-surgical treatments, the effects will begin to wear off over time, so we recommend you have top-ups every few months to maintain your enhanced lips.
Collagen Induction Therapy
For reinvigorated skin
Collagen induction therapy, also known as skin micro-needling, can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and even scars. It uses a roller covered in fine needles to pierce the skin and activate the body’s healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to make the skin look smoother, brighter, and more youthful.
Collagen induction therapy can also improve the absorption of face creams and serums, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin.
Collagen induction therapy
enhances skin elasticity and boosts volume
smooths fine lines and evens out contours
improves skin tone and texture
Looking after your rejuvenated skin
Following treatment, it is important to keep skin moisturised and wear a sunblock for at least seven days if you are exposed to direct sunlight.
Results can become apparent within a few weeks of the first session, but for the best results we recommend a course of treatments – usually three to seven sessions around 4-6 weeks apart.
Skin Care
It may surprise you to learn that the best person to ask about your skin care is often your dentist!
For a relaxed look
During a consultation with your dentist, you may ask about skin care treatment. Your dentist can explain the different methods that are available from a medical professional to enhance the appearance of your skin.
As we age, fine lines and deeper wrinkles appear which a dentist has the skill and ability to smooth over. Dentists have expert knowledge of how the structures of our face work, and are well qualified to deliver the kind of care that helps maintain a youthful, fresh appearance.
Please note that some products used to smooth skin are prescription only medications. For the treatment to be safe, it must be prescribed by a qualified medical professional.
Skin smoothing treatment consultation
A dental professional can help you with correct and up-to-date information about the range of treatments that can enhance the appearance of your skin and explain their effects.
During your consultation you may ask your dentist:
How do you reduce the appearance of fine lines, creases and wrinkles?
What kind of treatment will help my skin appear younger?
How long will it be before I see a result and my skin looks smoother?
How long will the effect last?
Looking after your smoother skin
If you have any treatment to enhance the youthfulness of your skin the noticeable effects will start to wear off after a few months. Maintaining a fresh, younger look requires regular consultations and advice from your dentist about how best to proceed. Moreover, to protect the youthful appearance of your skin it is important to avoid sun damage. Ensure you follow a good skin care routine at home too.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
A personalised skin perfecting technique
Give your face a real boost by rejuvenating and lifting your skin. As your blood is the source of the nutrients, this treatment is tailored just for you.
A blood sample is taken, and the platelets in your blood are separated and concentrated using a process known as centrifugation. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is injected into your skin to stimulate deep cell activity which helps to improve tone and texture.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy
improves pigmentation, wrinkles, scarring and lost elasticity
treats all areas of the face including the forehead, around the eyes, the cheeks and the lips
can also rejuvenate the neck and décolletage
helps boost skin elasticity and volume, filling out deeper lines
Looking after your enhanced skin
After your first injections, results will become apparent within a few weeks. To ensure your enhanced look lasts longer, you will need a short course of treatments. We usually recommend three treatments, roughly 4-6 weeks apart.
If your skin feels a little dry for a few days after treatment, simply apply your usual moisturiser. Use sun block for around seven days following the injections if you are exposed to direct sunlight.
