Be the best version of yourself with facial aesthetics in Colchester
We have always seen appearance and beauty as an integral part of providing excellent dentistry. And our facial aesthetics in Colchester can do a lot beyond what you might expect! 
Wrinkles, smile lines and general drooping of the face are a normal part of ageing, but that doesn’t mean we have to resign ourselves to them or that nothing can be done. In our clinic, we use Botox as a primary anti-wrinkle agent, by selectively relaxing sections of muscle in the face. The resulting tissue which that muscle controls can be altered. Exactly what the results of those alterations are depends heavily on the skill of the practitioner providing the injection. Our dental staff have been through rigorous training as part of their 7 years on an accredited dental course, along with additional courses giving them excellent experience at providing extremely safe and effective treatments.
Depending how and where the injections are administered, we divide them into different categories of procedure. In this article, we will take a look at one of our most popular, non-surgical aesthetic procedures; the neck lift.
Neck lifting
The idea of a Botox based neck lift is to reduce the sagging effect that many people suffer from as they age or after sudden weight loss.
When this is done to the muscles underneath and around the jaw, the perceived loose tissue below the face can be tightened and pulled upwards, as the muscles tighten and the nerves become inactive. The effects can last between 3-6 months and can be administered every 4 months if needed.
How long does anti-wrinkle treatment take?
The treatment sessions we perform in the clinic are extremely convenient and you should be able to fit them into a lunch hour break. We do provide lunchtime appointments for those who wish to receive their treatments midweek. There are few things that you will not be able to go straight back to; there is no issue with operating heavy machinery or complex tasks, but some people would experience headaches afterwards. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise is not recommended so perhaps plan your gym sessions accordingly!
We always perform follow-ups as part of our facial aesthetics in Colchester services. Usually around one to two weeks later, or whenever you’re free, we will check up on how the treatment is going and talk about any potential side effects. This is also a great time to book any future treatment as all effects are temporary and would require reapplication if you wish to maintain them.
We practise pain free dentistry and that extends to our facial aesthetics in Colchester. The quantity of material that is injected is very low, allowing very thin narrow needles to be used. This minimises any discomfort from the injection, meaning there is no need for anaesthesia. Although if you do find it difficult, a topical numbing agent can be applied, but usually the injections can be performed without you even noticing they are occurring.
All of our treatments focus on achieving a youthful natural finish, so call us today for more information about them.
