Facial Aesthetics
Fillers
Dermal filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure that plumps up facial lines and wrinkles to make the skin look more youthful. Fillers usually consist of sterile hyaluronic acid gels made from non-animal sources. As we age, the skin's natural hyaluronic acid is lost, giving rise to the appearance of lines, wrinkles and folds. Fillers are also used for lip enhancement and for shaping facial, hand and neck contours. Here is how dermal filler treatment works:
-
Local anaesthetic is first administered to the area to prevent any discomfort.
-
The dermal filler is then injected, which only takes a few minutes.
-
The effect of the treatment is visible immediately.
-
Depending on the area treated, skin type and the injection technique, the filler effect can last between 6 and 12 months (usually six months for lips)
-
Follow-up treatments will help to maintain the plumped up look over time.

Non-surgical and painless procedure.
How the Treatment Works
Botox
Anti-Ageing Injectable Treatment
If you want to reduce the lines on your face without having to resort to surgical procedures, the good news is that facial rejuvenation techniques can soften wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. The benefit of having this treatment done by dentists is that they have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the facial anatomy and can perform this delicate work in a precise and safe manner. Our practice uses the botulinum toxin type A for this treatment, an injectable aesthetic solution. Here is how it works:
-
Once injected into the skin the botulinum toxin relaxes the tiny facial muscles, which cause expression lines, by blocking the nerve impulses in them, leaving the skin looking smoother.
-
Areas on the face that can be treated include frown lines (vertical lines which form between the eyebrows), eyebrows, crow's feet, forehead lines and lines around the mouth and top lip, known as 'smoker's lines'.
-
The injection is quick and painless, usually lasting around 5-10 minutes and requiring no anaesthetic. Results will usually be seen in a few days, sometimes taking between 4-7 days for the effects to be seen.
As this is not a permanent treatment, the effects will wear off over time. It is therefore possible for the procedure to be repeated every 3 months for effective results.

THE SCIENCE
Obagi has created three skin care systems to repair and protect the skin. Each system of products is specifically designed to work together, effectively balancing the pH level and penetrating ingredients to the layers of the skin, revealing superior results
The range contains two main active ingredients: hydroquinone and zinc oxide. The Nu-Derm range contains 4% hydroquinone. This is the ingredient that makes it prescription-only. Hydroquinone works by blocking the process in the skin that leads to discolouration: suppressing the melanocyte metabolic process. The zinc oxide acts as a sunscreen: it deflects the sun, providing broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Zinc oxide is known for it’s non-irritating and non-allergenic properties, and protects the skin while the hydroquinone takes effect.
Obagi Nu-Derm also contains a number of other ingredients to nourish and improve the skin, including glycerin and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).
Nu-Derm works to transform skin from the inside out. The formulation carries the active ingredients deeper into the dermal layers, creating real (and lasting!) change:
Boosting skin health at the cellular level, resulting in a longer-lasting improvement
Targeting common signs of ageing including: skin damaged by sun exposure, wrinkles, and changes in texture and tone
Combating causes of acne through better sebum control and cell metabolism
The diagram below shows the different layers of the skin. Each of these plays an important part in the overall appearance of the skin:
