Strange as it may sound, medical practitioners from around the world have found that since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, there has been a sharp increase in female patients seeking facial aesthetics treatments.
The pandemic has changed a lot of things, even people's working conditions with more people working from home, and Zoom (for one) has become a popular platform for video conferencing. However, sitting in front of a computer screen watching your own face for several hours, has also made many women more aware of their facial imperfections.
The ugly truth is that no one can escape ageing, and unfortunately, one's face is the first to show signs of ageing. With filler treatments, however, your skin can look young and healthy overnight. Non-surgical cosmetic treatments for the face usually involve two treatments namely Botox and dermal fillers.
Although there are many less invasive ways to delay ageing of the facial area, the most popular trend among women is the ‘filling’ tendency to make the skin look younger, as it produces results almost immediately. The most important thing is to ...
... choose the right, and this article highlights two types of facial aesthetics treatments so that you can make an informed decision if it is something you are considering.
Dermal fillers
With dermal fillers, administered by a trained and qualified medical practitioner, the aesthetic results are visible almost immediately, and you will notice the difference immediately after your treatment.
The decision to get a cosmetic injectable treatment is personal and differs from person to person - depending on age, current skin condition, and of course skin ageing. Derma fillers should be performed by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic doctors, or trained and accredited dentists. Yes, these days, you can get even get derma fillers from your dentist in Whitton!
Nowadays, there are a number of different dermal fillers available, namely Calcium Hydroxyapatite, Hyaluronic Acid Derivatives, Bovine Collagen, Human-Derived Collagen, and Autologous Fat, which are suitable for the area around the nose, midface fills, the jawline, and the chin.
Derma fillers are popular because they are very safe and almost painless (some patients experience discomfort when the skin is pricked with the injection needle), and no recovery time is required. This means that you can visit your dentist in Whitton for derma filler treatment during your lunch hour, and simply return to your office with a smoother and younger-looking face.
Botox
Botox is actually a brand name that is associated with botulinum toxin - hence the abbreviation Botox. This product is approved to treat frown lines and is the only aesthetic indication for Botox. Botulinum toxins are used for cosmetic purposes as an injection that relaxes wrinkles. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles between the eyebrows (the frown lines), creating a softer, more rested look.
Injectable dermal fillers fill in deeper wrinkles and fine lines and are injected directly into the wrinkle or the fold, temporarily improving that part for a smoother appearance. The most common dermal filler is Hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and moisturises the skin. These fillers, therefore, help to supplement the body's natural levels of hyaluronic acid. The good news is that hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can last between four and 12 months, as it helps the body to reabsorb hyaluronic acid.
If you are considering derma fillers at your dentist in Whitton, it is important to determine if the practitioner is approved to perform the treatments, and the practice must also comply with the prescribed local regulations. Treatments should only be performed in a clinical, hygienic, and professional environment.
