COSMETIC FACIAL INJECTABLES

To soften age lines and frown marks, and to feel more refreshed and rejuvenated, our dentist has training in cosmetic facial injectables.

This treatment was once reserved for medical use by dentists for jaw joint issues such as acute jaw pain or temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) caused by teeth grinding and bite, and with extensive training in facial anatomy, smile design and aesthetics, our dentist has had training over the past decade to offer a wider range of facial rejuvenation and enhancement injectable treatments.

What are cosmetic facial injectables?

Cosmetic facial injectables are non-surgical treatments that can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging on the face. These treatments involve the injection of various substances into the skin, including neuromodulators, which are muscle relaxants, and dermal fillers.

Neuromodulators work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, such as those around the eyes and forehead. They are typically used to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by facial expressions and movement. The effects of these injectables usually last between three to six months, and the treatment is relatively painless and requires minimal downtime.

Dermal fillers, on the other hand, work by restoring volume to areas of the face that have lost fullness due to aging. They are commonly used to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, as well as to add volume to the cheeks and lips. Dermal fillers typically last longer than neuromodulators, with results lasting anywhere from six to eighteen months.

Both neuromodulators and dermal fillers are FDA and TGA approved and are safe when administered by a trained and licensed healthcare provider. However, it's important to note that there can be side effects associated with these treatments, such as redness, swelling, and bruising.

It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before undergoing any cosmetic facial injectable treatment. They will evaluate your medical history, discuss your goals, and recommend a personalised treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs.

Cosmetic facial injectables can be an effective way to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance without undergoing surgery. Whether you're looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles or add volume to certain areas of your face, there are a variety of injectables available that can help you achieve your goals. However, it's important to choose a qualified healthcare provider to perform the treatment and to discuss any potential risks and side effects before undergoing the procedure.
