What is Facial Aesthetics?

Facial aesthetics or rejuvenation is any cosmetic or medical procedure used to increase or restore the appearance of a younger age to human face. The specific term, however, refers to a set of surgical procedures which try to restore facial geometry and skin appearance which are typical of youth. At Green Apple Dental Studio we only offer the non-surgical option and they are:

  • Lip Augmentation
  • Nose Contouring

Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

Anti-wrinkle treatment refers to the use of Botox(TM) to slightly relax the muscles around the face so as to reduce their effect on the skin and hence reduce the wrinkles.

Botulinum toxin injections may reduce some types of wrinkles. They are often used to treat forehead and frown lines that come from making facial expressions. They can also reduce lines at the corners of your eyes (crow’s feet). Botulinum toxin can only reduce what are called active wrinkles which are caused by muscle activity. It won’t work for wrinkles, creases or lines that don’t change with your facial expressions.

Botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. If you have botulinum toxin treatment, your clinician or doctor will inject the protein into specific muscles in your face. It will relax or paralyse these muscles to reduce their effect on lines and wrinkles. Untreated areas of your face should continue to move as normal and you will be able to laugh, smile and frown, but with less wrinkling of your skin in the treated areas.

It may take one to five days for the treatment to take effect and the best results will be after around a week or two. The treatment should last for three to six months. You will need to have botulinum toxin injections repeated if you want to keep the effects.

Botulinum toxin injections aren’t suitable if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding or have a neurological disorder, such as myasthenia gravis. The injections can’t treat wrinkles caused by sun damage.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers aim to plump up your skin and make it appear fuller and smoother. Dermal fillers are often used to reduce lines around your chin and your lips, and to enhance the shape of your lips and nose. There is a range of dermal fillers available that work in different ways, and they can be temporary or permanent.

If you have a permanent filler, it won’t adapt to further changes to your face as you age. Therefore these aren’t used as much as temporary fillers. Your clinician will usually recommend using a non-permanent dermal filler. These are either synthetic, or made from a material that closely resembles a naturally occurring acid in your body. Your clinician will inject the dermal filler into the required area with a tiny needle.

The effects from dermal filler treatment usually last from three months to 18 months, depending on the type of filler and the area you have treated. You will need to have repeat treatments if you want the effects to last longer.

Nose Contouring

Nose contouring or reshaping is also referred to as Non-Surgical rhinoplasty involves injecting dermal fillers.

With dermal fillers, nose contouring and reshaping can be done quickly, safely, and effectively as well as having no downtime and you can enjoy your new nose immediately.

Patients who have less severe deformities of the nose and who are seeking a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure to improve the shape and contour of their nose quickly and with satisfactory results.

The method is very precise and can achieve finer adjustments to the nasal contour.
