Facial rejuvenation: what are the best treatments?
Autore:Dr Anne Gormley is a leading dental practitioner and facial aesthetics clinician. In her latest article, Dr Gormley explains some of the facial rejuvenation and anti-aging treatments she offers such as microneedling, chemical peels, and dermal fillers.
As people get older, many reach a point where they wish the clocks would stop ticking. For some, this could happen at different points in their lives: a particular milestone with their children, noticing wrinkles around the eyes, or realising that their skin is starting to sag. However, a facial aesthetics dental practitioner can offer many treatments that help combat some of these signs of ageing that so many people dread, and restore the youthful glow that they once had. These treatments include:
- Microneedling
- Chemical peel
- Radiofrequency therapy.
Chemical/acid peels are an important tool for skin rejuvenation and help treat skin conditions such as:
Patients can achieve exceptional results with a minimum amount of downtime by combining acids, antioxidants, anti-aging and brightening boosters. Using non-surgical facial aesthetics treatments is a very popular approach to getting rid of wrinkles and plumping the cheeks. These treatments can offer you a more radiant complexion.
Below are some key tips for patients to get the best possible results.
A qualified practitioner - First and foremost, it is essential that you find a skilled and experienced practitioner. Make sure the practitioner has the necessary training to deliver the therapies.
Before starting treatment, a face-to-face meeting with the patient is important. During this consultation, I will normally record a complete medical history as well as lifestyle behaviours. We'll spend some time going over the many treatment choices, including information on the substance being used, how much will be injected, and how long the improvements will last. I also describe potential problems in the event of an adverse reaction.
Sterile environment - The optimum setting for facial aesthetics is a dental office. Because injections into the skin can result in infections, it is crucial that the clinic you select places a high priority on cleanliness, with a medical-style surgery being preferred.
Fine lines and wrinkles versus anti-aging treatments - Anti-wrinkle injectables are the most efficient technique to stop static wrinkles from forming. Neuromuscular toxin restricts muscle action and treats expression lines by blocking nerve signals in the muscles.
Relaxing facial muscles results in skin that is smoother and softer. Usually, I examine the patient's facial musculature and use the proper dosage of product to achieve the most subdued and natural-looking outcome.
The forehead region, in-between the brows, and at the corner of the eyes are the areas most often treated with neuromuscular toxin. Dermal fillers are frequently used to enhance volume and plump the skin. The most popular dermal filler is hyaluronic acid, mainly because there is a chemical that can counteract its effects.
Both a cannula and a needle are used to inject the substance. A stiffer consistency is needed in the cheek area, while a more elastic material is used in the lips. The fillers are gel-like substances of varied consistencies.
