At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we have some simple options to restore the youthfulness of your skin in our dental clinic in W1. BTX and dermal fillers require no significant preparation and can be completed in the dental practice in less than an hour. If you feel the need for something more than a simple facial, visit our dental clinic in W1 and our experienced dentists will be able to advise you on the best options for you.
BTX
If you want to reduce the lines on your face without having to undergo surgery, the good news is that BTX can help soften your wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.
Once injected into the skin, BTX relaxes the tiny facial muscles, which cause expression lines, by blocking the nerve impulses in them, leaving the skin looking smoother.
Areas on the face that can be treated with BTX in our dental clinic in W1 include frown lines, eyebrows, crow’s feet, forehead lines as well as lines around the mouth and lips.
Treatment with BTX may last from three to six months and patients are encouraged to repeat treatment for more consistent results.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used fill in wrinkles and lines in the lower half of the face. They usually consist of sterile hyaluronic acid gels made from non-animal sources. Injecting fillers into the skin acts to replace the hyaluronic acid that is lost with age. They are also used for lip enhancement and for shaping facial, hand and neck contours.
Dermal fillers offer subtle and impressive results, which can last up to nine months.
