We often think that beauty is the preserve of the young, and it’s maintenance, the domain of the rich and famous, but in central London, it’s available to all. Cosmetic treatments to fend of ageing, for a while, were all ‘cut and slice’. But the more technology advances our understanding of the human condition, ageing treatments are leaning more towards non surgical techniques such as botox and dermal fillers, not only to fight the ageing process in the cases of wrinkles and lines, but also for restoring injuries. Dentists have also picked up the gauntlet of these treatments as they involve simple, precise injections similar to that of local anaesthetics administered to the mouth for dental procedures. Dermal fillers reinstate ‘youth’ to tired areas, injecting collagens or hyaluronic acids into areas around the mouth, firming the skin and regenerating old cells; halting and in some cases, reversing the ageing process: the perfect accompaniment to any recent dental work done. It lasts up to a year before a top-up is required and is quick (treatment up to 1 hour) and fairly cheap at around £300.

Botox is a cosmetic procedure that is injected into the face to prevent muscle spasms that cause wrinkles. It is one of the most widely used cosmetic procedures in the world with nearly five million treatments being used in the US alone last year.
Botox is short for Botulinium Toxin A and when injected it effectively paralyses facial muscles which cause wrinkles. It has been declared perfectly safe for use in the body and is naturally broken down leaving no trace after a matter of months. It is a great product to use for people who are worried about the appearance of wrinkles and lines around the mouth, eyes and brow especially. It can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by as much as eighty per cent.
The treatment takes up to about 80 minutes and is performed in the dentist’s surgery. The dentist will determine the amount necessary for each individual patient before injecting it in several different places around the designated area.
The effects of Botox are noticeable immediately in most cases. Although there are some side effects these are generally mild, including slight nausea and redness at injection points. Your City of London dentist will be able to give you more information but it is generally a very safe procedure.
Botox is especially useful for patients who have had some cosmetic dentistry work performed to improve the appearance of their teeth. Wrinkles around the mouth can spoil the framing look of a great smile and a Botox treatment may be able to give you the overall perfect smile you have always wanted. The cost of Botox varies on the amount used and each individual patient but you should expect to pay somewhere in the region of £75 to £250 per individual treatment.

Every great picture needs a great frame and the same is true for a great smile. With the improvements in dental technology over the last twenty years, the possibilities for improving the appearance of teeth for patients of all ages has increased almost beyond belief. It is now possible to reverse even the most severe damage and cosmetic dentists can produce stunning results. For many patients who have undergone cosmetic dentistry treatment to improve their appearance they also might consider improving the appearance of the skin around the mouth.
Dermal fillers such as Botox can make skin appear firmer and younger completing the smile makeover transformation and taking years off the appearance of the patient. Botox has existed for many years but in the last decade it has really become more accepted as another normal beauty treatment. As it has become more widely available it has also become more affordable.
Botos works by blocking the signals that are transmitted through facial muscles. It is these transmissions that cause the muscles to spasm and create creases we know as wrinkles. By interrupting this movement the appearance of wrinkles is reduced and the skin looks younger and firmer.
Botox involves no surgical cutting of the skin and can be achieved with a few injections. City of London dentists will apply an anaesthetic gel to the area prior to treatment to make the treatment as painless as possible. The treatment involves very little risk of carried out by a trained dentist and will last up to four months before it needs topping up.

If used correctly, dermal fillers can have an amazing transformative effect on the face. It can make patients look years younger in only matter of days with a minimum of fuss and risk. Make an appointment with a Central London dentist to discuss the cost and further benefits of dermal fillers.

More and more cosmetic dentists are now offering small scale cosmetic facial procedures as part of an overall smile makeover. After all, the mouth and facial tissue surrounds your smile and every beautiful picture needs an equally beautiful frame. Sagging facial tissue and wrinkles can now be combated by a range of dermal fillers including collagen and hyaluronic acid. These fillers firm and fill facial tissues providing a healthier and fuller appearance that enhances a beautiful smile.
Dermal fillers, like all cosmetic surgery, were once the sole preserve of the rich and famous but they are now increasingly affordable. This greater availability has removed some of the stigma attached to cosmetic enhancers and having a dermal filler injection is now no more unusual than having a haircut.
If applied by a trained professional dermal fillers carry little or no risk and because treatments are only temporary any risk of permanent damage due to bad treatment is reduced. Most of the common dermal fillers use compounds such as hyaluronic acid which already exist naturally in the body, further reducing the risk of a bad reaction to treatment. Hyaluronic acid is the substance in the skin that gives it a plump and healthy appearance.
Treatmenst are usually carried out under a local anaesthetic to make it more comfortable, and for those who don’t like needles this can be applied by using an anaesthetic cream applied half an hour before. The whole procedure should take little more than half an hour from start to finish and will involve no surgical cutting of skin or tissue. Results usually begin to show after a couple of days and can last up to four months before a top up treatment is required. Ask a London W1 dentist about dermal fillers and you could have a healthy and full looking frame for your smile.
