Anti-wrinkle Treatment
If you want to reduce the fine lines on your face without having to resort to surgical procedures, anti-wrinkle injections may be the ideal solution for you. These injections have been used for over 20 years in the treatment of lines and wrinkles and other medical conditions.
Botox and Dysport are the brand names for a bacterial protein- Botulin Toxin Type A. When injected into a muscle, the protein blocks the nerve signals that make the muscle contract. The muscle then relaxes and hence reduces the fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. We use Dysport at our clinic.
The benefit of having this treatment done by dentists is that they have a thorough knowledge and understanding of facial anatomy and can perform this delicate procedure in a precise manner.

Frequently Asked Questions
The number of units of injection required for the anti-wrinkle treatment varies as per individual and the area being treated. The treatment is tailored to meet your requirements. Each patient is reviewed after the initial treatment to determine the need for a top-up. Please discuss this with our dentist for further information.
It is very rare for these injections to be painful. Most patients only experience a feeling of slight discomfort, if at all, during the treatment itself. Rest assured we will talk you through what to expect before your first injection, so you will be fully prepared before treatment.
The rejuvenating effects of Botox/Dysport may take up to two weeks to become fully apparent, and they can often last for 6 months. To maintain ideal results, touch-up treatments can be received periodically.
