Facial Aesthetics

The pursuit of a youthful appearance is a common aspiration. Attaining this without having a surgical procedure can seem impossible, but a solution is often closer than you may think.

At the Cassio Road Dental Practice, we are pleased to offer facial aesthetic consultation, where our medical professionals can assess your skin, health and expectations and advise you accordingly. If you are a suitable candidate, one of the treatments we can prescribe and carry out in practice is wrinkle reduction injections. This is a non-surgical procedure that can soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows and on the forehead. The treatment can also be utilized for wrinkles around the eyes (‘crow’s feet’) with fantastic results.

Following your consultation to discuss the treatment, you and Dr Pranav Patel will create a personalised plan for your facial rejuvenation. Once agreed, the product is administered by injection into the specified areas, relaxing the small muscles of the face. The benefits are reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles, a younger appearance, smoother looking skin and the disappearance of facial lines.

The treatment typically takes 5 to 7 days to take effect with another two weeks for a complete effect. Dr Pranav Patel recommends 3 monthly injections for the first year, to maintain effective treatment and appearance. The interval can be prolonged to 4 months once the treatment threshold is reached.
