As the years tick by, there are countless different ways in which our body lets us know it’s aging. However, nowhere else are these signs and symptoms quite so visibly clear as on the face.
Ageing around the face can be seen in the discolouration of teeth, the formation of wrinkles, loss of volume, and the change in facial structure, all of which can be reversed or countered with the right anti-aging treatments. What many clients don’t realise is the importance of local dentists in tackling these issues, with cosmetic dentistry playing a major part in the look of teeth and their impact on the aging process.
Some dentists take this one step further, with leading cosmetic dental practitioners in Essex bridging dental work with other aesthetic treatments, as part of their full smile transformation packages. One such treatment is known as anti-wrinkle treatment, but it’s not to be confused with filler or Botox! Here’s why…
What is Anti-Wrinkle Treatment?
Anti-wrinkle treatment involves the use of a needle and injection, but that’s where the similarities to traditional fillers end.
Rather than injecting a long-lasting substance under the skin to add volume, anti-wrinkle treatment contains a controlled amount of a prescribed toxin, which freezes the muscles and causes them to relax. As it’s the muscles constantly contracting which causes wrinkles in the first place, the impact of this toxin literally relaxes and irons out the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
All that, without injecting a foreign substance into the skin, and instead nurturing a more youthful appearance, completely naturally.
Is Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Better Than Filler?
The answer to this question really depends on the results that you are hoping for.
Anti-wrinkle treatment is recognised as a non-invasive treatment option, which does not add anything foreign to the body but instead relaxes the contraction of muscles which cause wrinkles to appear. This means that the results from anti-wrinkle treatment are entirely natural and do not alter the structure of the face in any way.
By contrast, filler adds volume beneath the skin in the form of a new, injected substance. This does have an impact on the structure of the face and rejuvenates it in a clearly defined and visibly clear way.
Is Anti-Wrinkle Treatment the Right Option for Me?
Anti-wrinkle treatment is, in the simplest terms, a natural way to ease the contraction of muscles and help the face to relax, smoothing out the skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. But the benefits don’t end there.
The same prescribed toxin that’s used in anti-wrinkle treatments also has a positive impact on several other conditions, including chronic migraines, headaches caused by tension, and excessive sweating (a condition called hyperhidrosis). These are all results of the same muscle-relaxing properties, as the toxin used in the treatment allows the muscles which cause these issues to relax.
If you suffer with any of the above, or you want to add youth and vitality to your skin, anti-wrinkle injections are a non-invasive option that’s available through your local leading dentistry and aesthetics team.
