As people get older they often find themselves losing confidence when it comes to their appearance. There are so many different areas of the face that can appear less youthful over time, and whilst many people turn to surgery to have these aging signs reversed quite a lot of people are wary about undergoing such procedures. Here at Kings Dental Clinic we have several different non-invasive, non-surgical treatments available that will leave you looking and feeling much more youthful.

If you have been feeling insecure about your appearance, then booking a consultation appointment with one of our professionals will enable you to discuss facial aesthetics in Hammersmith. Your practitioner will be able to recommend treatments that will help your situation and create a personalised treatment plan for you. It is easy to book a consultation appointment at our practice online and via telephone, as well as within our practice itself.

What can we help you with?

Several different areas of the face change as you age and as your skin loses its natural elasticity it is likely to become wrinkled, loose and even saggy in some places. This can leave people feeling much older than they are and damage their self-esteem in the long run. Sometimes people feel isolated from others in their friendship group when they feel unable to join in with certain activities such as group photos because they feel insecure about their face’s appearance.

Facial aesthetics in Hammersmith can help with all of these issues, as well as things such as having smoking lines and dull looking skin. Having treatments will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated, and in some cases you will be able to see visible results from the moment your treatment has been completed. No treatment is permanent, so your professional will advise you of how often you will need to receive treatment if you wish to maintain your new look when you attend an appointment.

What types of non-surgical treatments are available?

Facial aesthetics in Hammersmith is made up of several different types of treatments that are capable of targeting different areas of your face. You may require Mesotherapy, dermal fillers, a thread lift or even Botulinum Toxin, and there are more treatments available at our practice too. The only way to tell which treatment you will require is by having one of our professionals assess the condition of your facial skin.

Sometimes people will require Mesotherapy, which is where you will have a series of injections that will provide your body with an additional supply of vitamins, minerals, hyaluronic acid and other acids that can help to encourage cell growth. Your body’s supply of hyaluronic acid depletes over time, which is one thing that gives your skin an aged appearance.

Dermal fillers work by replacing the body’s supply of hyaluronic acid, as this diminishes as you get older. Fillers can make the appearance of your skin seem more youthful as it plumpens it, giving your skin a tighter, less wrinkled appearance. Once you have had this treatment it is capable of lasting for anything between six and twelve months, but if you with to maintain your youthful appearance it is easy to book an appointment to have your filler topped up.

If you want any more information on the treatments that we have to offer then our team will be more than happy to answer any questions that you have and can explain how each treatment works and how it could benefit your individual situation.

Have you ever done up one room in the house only to find that now it’s had a fresh coat of paint and a new carpet that other rooms are looking rather tired and worn in comparison? It can be a bit like that with teeth: you invest in getting that fabulous new smile: whitening, veneers, maybe even cosmetic braces and, all of a sudden, the face that frames them is looking a bit on the tired side.

It can be a bit disheartening, getting older, but there are ways to freshen up your face with facial aesthetics treatments that are not permanent and don’t involve surgery. Here at Kings Dental Clinic in Hammersmith, we provide a range of facial aesthetics treatments.

As well as Botox, which relaxes wrinkles formed by habitually contracting certain muscles, and dermal fillers, which plump wrinkles, hollows and flattened top lips, we also offer:

Thread lifts

Thread lifts use a synthetic fibre that dissolves under the skin called polydioxanone (PDO) to lift the face. We insert several PDO fibres into the dermatological layer of the skin to stimulate the production of collagen and help improve the look of sagging skin, wrinkles, jowls, forehead wrinkles and to improve the definition of the jawline. Treatment takes about half an hour and is administered under a local anaesthetic. Treatments last about 10 months, but can last longer if you have 2 further treatments done.

Platelet rich plasma therapy

Also known as the Vampire face lift, for this we take some of your blood and mix it with a dermal filler before injecting it back into your skin to bring your collagen and elastin back to life, while also removing damaged cells from your skin. You may be a bit bruised for a few days after treatment, but after 3-4 weeks, you will begin to see a reduction in wrinkles, an improvement in skin tone and texture and better skin hydration. The improvements should continue for up to 3-6 months and the treatment lasts about a year.

We also offer mesotherapy. Why not come in for a consultation and find out which treatments, or combination of treatments, would work best for you?

As dentists, we like to see our patients at Kings Dental Clinic in Hammersmith looking great with lovely smiles framed by lovely faces.

That’s why we now offer simple non-surgical ways to a younger, fresher-looking face with facial aesthetics treatments. Cosmetic surgery is a pretty drastic way to stay looking young, and, once it’s done, it’s done — there is no going back. That’s ok if it looks good, but what if you have some disastrous results and you no longer look like you. Far better to have temporary treatments that last a few months with a dentist, who has a deep training and understanding of the many muscles, nerves, and blood vessels that go to make up the face.

Botox

Botox is a purified protein from the botulinum type A toxin, which is injected into the muscles. Over a few days, it gradually paralyses the nerves that send signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting into wrinkles. Botox works as a treatment on the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines. It lasts for three or four months and top up treatments are recommended.

Dermal fillers

These plump out the hollows and wrinkles that form as the skin stops producing as much collagen and hyaluronic acid, and loses fat deposits from under it. All three work to produce that plump, dewy look associated with younger skin. Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid that is injected, with a local anaesthetic, under the skin to fill out hollows and wrinkles and recreate areas that have lost their plumpness. It’s great for lips, nasolabial lines, and marionette lines. Fillers last for 6–12 months, depending on which area is being treated.

Thread lift

Polidioxanone is a strong, synthetic tissue that dissolves in the skin after it has been in place for some time. It was first used to hold wounds together, but is now also very successfully used to tighten the skin. The threads are inserted under the skin, often from the mouth area to the upper cheek or ear area, and are pulled tight to lift the skin back towards the edges of the face. Treatments last for about 10 months to 2 years.

Will anyone notice?

We offer differing types of facial aesthetics in Hammersmith, one of the types we offer is called Botox – botulinum toxin. We inject it into your face, on the area where you want the wrinkles softened. The injection takes only ten minutes, does not require anaesthetic and works by stopping the nerve endings in the muscles, which cause the lines. The result is a younger, smoother face for you. The treatment will take 4-7 days to show effect. This treatment is only temporary, so if you want to continue to look like this you will need regular treatments.

What causes premature ageing of the skin?

Many factors are involved in premature skin ageing. These include:

* Excessive exposure to the sun.

Spending a lot of time in the sun without using protection leads to wrinkles and thinner skin, and can also damage the vital skin proteins elastin and collagen. This is usually most noticeable on the face and hands, which are usually exposed to the sun more than the rest of the body.

* Not drinking enough water.

Good hydration is important for your skin. If you don’t drink enough water and become dehydrated, this can show on the skin of your face.

* Dietary factors.

Not eating a balanced diet and drinking too much alcohol or coffee (which have dehydrating effects) and affect the appearance of your skin.

* Smoking.

As well as being generally bad for you, smoking prevents oxygen from entering the skin cells, and is a common cause of lines around the mouth – known as “smoker’s lines” – thanks to repeat inhalation.
