Some dental surgeries now offer non-invasive cosmetic surgery procedures to compliment the work that has been done on your teeth.
Wrinkles are a normal part of ageing and only a lucky few will manage to get to their fifties without a few creases in their skin. While in the past the only way to deal with these signs of ageing was to have expensive and complicated cosmetic surgery, there are now several different types of non-invasive procedures available which can smooth out your skin in one short session. Many dental surgeries are starting to offer these procedures as a way of completing the work they have carried out on your teeth.
Dermal fillers are one of the most popular and straightforward of these treatments, with a session only lasting around half an hour with no recovery time. The therapist, who has to be a trained nurse or medical professional, injects the filler into the creases and wrinkles in your skin, pumping up the tissue and creating a smoother look. The injections are relatively painless, though if you are nervous you can always ask for some anaesthetic cream to be applied beforehand. The treatment is so simple you can have it on your lunch hour and be back at your desk with younger looking skin and the effects can last for up to nine months.
There are different kinds of dermal fillers on the market, both natural and synthetic, but the most common types use collagen to fill the creases and wrinkles in your skin and restore your skin’s natural glow. Collagen is a substance that occurs naturally in our own skin, making it less likely that patients will suffer any allergic reaction. Often clinics will decide to carry out an allergy test on new customers to make sure they can tolerate the injections before they have several on all the affected areas of their face.
