What are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections are also known as ‘Botox’ which is short for botulinum toxin. This is a naturally occurring purified protein that causes the muscles in the face area to relax by blocking the nerve signal that causes muscles to contract, consequently removing wrinkles. It is one of the most popular and growing cosmetic treatments for the removal of wrinkles in both men and women.

Here at NW1 Dental Care we offer anti-wrinkle injections to treat the following areas:

Forehead wrinkles
Crow’s feet lines around the eyes
Frown lines, the “11 lines” between the eyebrows

How Does Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work?

The muscles on your face contract whenever you concentrate, squint, or frown. With years of these frequent contractions along with environmental factors like exposure to the sun, wrinkles and lines are formed becomes permanent.

At NW1 Dental Care, the Botulinum toxin of choice is Botox®. During the treatment very small amount of Botulinum Toxin are injected into the target areas of the patient using an extremely fine needle. This blocks the impulse from the nerve to the facial muscles, reducing the contractions that cause wrinkles. After the treatment the skin over the muscles looks smooth and even leading to a swift and noticeable improvement in the appearance of persistent frown lines and wrinkles, helping men and women alike to achieve a healthier, more youthful appearance. The number of injections depends on the area being treated. The procedure takes around 30 minutes and the potential full effect can be seen after 2 weeks.

Anti-Wrinkles Injections or Botox Injections contain purified bacteria that freeze muscles thus it works by relaxing the muscles under the skin to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions.

Dermal Filler on other hand contains hyaluronic acid which is a protein found in the cell of living organisms and as we age we produce less of this acid causing thinning of the skin. So Dermal fillers are used as temporary volumiser injected into the skin to add fullness.

Yes definitely. Botox is a safe treatment and it’s FDA approved since 2002 for treating wrinkle lines. However, it should ALWAYS be undertaken by a qualified medical professional. Dentists who offer botox are perhaps best-suited healthcare professionals as they are anatomically trained and have good knowledge of facial musculature, vasculature ad nerve supply and so they are becoming increasingly recognized as one-stop-shop for Botox, fillers, and dental treatments.

Not at all, you can opt for dermal fillers as an alternative. You can book a facial aesthetics consultation with one of our experienced dentists who can advise which treatment is best suited for you.
