If you’ve noticed that you’ve started developing fine lines and wrinkles on your face, it can feel a bit difficult to come to terms with the idea of ageing and this reflecting in your skin’s appearance, especially when you don’t feel any older in your mind. Here at Amsel & Wilkins, we can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to slow the signs of ageing using one of our facial aesthetic treatments. While it may sound somewhat wacky to think that our dentist could offer facial aesthetic treatments, it is not as cuckoo as you might imagine. Our dentist in Banbury is a skilled professional when it comes to facial anatomy, having been trained for years and understanding the implications of injecting tiny facial muscles. What’s more, the environment of the dental practice also makes it very safe and minimises the risk of infection.

What we offer

Our dentist in Banbury can offer you dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. Both treatments involve injections and only take a few minutes to administer. However, there are distinct differences between the treatments that you must consider before deciding which treatment is right for you.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers contain an injectable solution called hyaluronic gels, which is an FDA-approved substance that mimics the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is produced by the body to give the skin its elasticity, and this production diminishes as we age. By using hyaluronic acid gels that are made from non-animal sources, we can plump up the fine lines and wrinkles and make the skin look smoother and more youthful. The results of dermal fillers can be seen instantly and should last for around 6 to 12 months. Dermal fillers can also be used as lip fillers to make your pout more pout-able! You can also use dermal fillers to contour your face, neck and hands. Having dermal fillers should be a completely comfortable process as we will use local anaesthesia to ensure that the area being treated is numbed.

Anti-wrinkle injections

Like dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections are also made from non-animal sources and are FDA-approved. Anti-wrinkle injections take just a few minutes to administer and contain botulinum toxin type A, which is an injectable solution that is regarded as highly safe, and the results may be seen in around 4 to 7 days after treatment or even up to 2 weeks. The treatment should be very comfortable and no downtime should be required afterwards, so you will be free to continue with your day as usual. This is also the same for dermal fillers.
