Rejuvenate your skin with Botox and dermal fillers in Banbury

Ageing is a continuous process, already starting in our 20s and progressing through life due to the physiologic changes of the skin and underlying tissue. The first noticeable signs of ageing are fine lines and wrinkles. These lines appear on different areas of the face and tend to become more noticeable because of the effects of gravity and the pull of muscles.

At Amsel and Wilkins, we use innovative treatments like dermal fillers and Botox, designed to revitalise your skin and provide a fresh and youthful look. Our experienced and highly-qualified dentists offer a thorough cosmetic and face consultation in Banbury in order to determine the best available treatment for your skin. We are an accredited member of Save Face, a reputable website with qualified and trained registered healthcare professionals in the UK.

Dermal Fillers in BanburyBotox

Botox is a very popular non-surgical treatment with many fans worldwide. The benefit of having this treatment done by dentists is that they have a thorough knowledge and understanding of your face and can perform this intricate procedure in a thorough and accurate manner. At Amsel and Wilkins, we use the botulinum toxin type A for Botox injections, which is a safe, high-quality injectable aesthetic solution.

Botox injections prevent muscle movement, and therefore contribute towards reducing facial tension and help the face to look smoother and more refreshed. The treatment targets frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers, on the other hand, help restore the skin’s volume and plumpness. As we age, the collagen and the hyaluronic acid in our skin start to decrease, causing wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, mouth, cheeks and jaw line. At Amsel and Wilkins, we use dermal fillers to temporarily halt facial wrinkles and add more volume and fullness to your face.

The injections, which only take a few minutes, are usually administered after a local anaesthetic has been applied. This way you will hardly feel any pain or discomfort. The effects of dermal fillers can last for up to 12 months and follow-up treatments will help to maintain volume and plumpness over time.

Brighten your smile with teeth bleaching in Banbury

Are you tired of having yellow, stained teeth, despite your diligent daily oral hygiene? You are not alone. Luckily, professional teeth whitening can help you overcome stained teeth and smile again with confidence.

At Amsel and Wilkins, we understand there is a chance your teeth have seen whiter days and we are here to help you restore the brightness of your smile. We deliver two types of teeth whitening – power whitening and home whitening. Both methods are safe and highly effective.

Bleaching in BanburyWhy do teeth turn yellow?

So what causes teeth to discolour over time? Teeth darken naturally as we age and some people are genetically predisposed to have darker teeth than others, yet tooth discolouration is a very common phenomenon with various causes. Understandably, smoking, as well as excessive alcohol consumption, contribute greatly to the staining of teeth .

Similarly, caffeine and red wine also yellow teeth over time. Additionally, dark-coloured foods like blueberries, pomegranates and blackberries can leave teeth tinged with stains, and so do red pasta sauces and balsamic vinegar. Finally, some medications accelerate tooth yellowing. While it is not necessary to stop enjoying these foods altogether, it is really important to brush and floss your teeth straight after consuming them. This way you will minimise the staining effects.

Power whitening

Power whitening is ideal for patients looking for immediate results. A power whitening treatment at Amsel and Wilkins normally takes two hours or less, depending on your desired shade, and is carried out in the dental chair. Power bleaching is ideal for people who have an important event coming up and want to look their best.

Home whitening

Home whitening lasts longer than power whitening and can be performed in the comfort of your own house. Your dentist will provide you with a custom-made, lightweight, mouth tray that fits snugly over your teeth. You will then have to put a bleaching gel inside the tray and wear it all night or for a few hours during the day. You will begin to notice the first results approximately after two weeks.
