Everyone gets older, and ageing is a natural part of life. Even so, it is easy to feel self-conscious about the physical signs of ageing, as skin can begin to look different thanks to wrinkles or sagging. Many treatments now exist to help combat these signs of ageing, and it’s becoming more and more common for people to undergo some of these treatments fairly regularly. Two such treatments which are offered by Dublin18 Dental Care are Anti wrinkle injections and Dermal Fillers.

Anti wrinkle injections

The treatment works by injecting tiny quantities of the safe bacterial toxin into the muscles to help them relax. This works by stopping the signals between the nerves and the muscles, thus reducing the amount the muscles work temporarily. As the muscles relax, the appearance of wrinkles on the skin is greatly reduced. Treatment with Anti wrinkle injections is almost pain-free, and can take as little as ten minutes. The effects begin to show after two or three days, and you will continue to see improvements for up to a month. The effects can last as long as four months.

Dermal fillers

An alternative treatment is dermal fillers. Similar to Anti wrinkle injections, dermal fillers are usually a gel-like substance which is injected into areas such as the cheeks and lips. The effects of dermal fillers can include the removal of crow’s feet around the eyes, deep ‘smile lines’ around the cheeks and other types of wrinkles, facial scars, smoker’s lines around the lips, and they can also be used to ‘plump up’ lips to help them have a fuller appearance. As with Anti wrinkle injections, the dermal filler is eventually broken down by the body, and so you would need to return for treatment to continue to see the effects. However, the effects of one treatment with dermal fillers can last nine to twelve months! There should not be any way of noticing that you have had treatment with Anti wrinkle injections or dermal fillers, other than your more youthful and wrinkle-free face!
