If you are becoming concerned about the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, you may be surprised to learn that Ashlow Orthodontics can help improve your self-esteem about your appearance. It may sound strange to think that an orthodontist in Stoke could be able to help with facial aesthetics and yet it isn’t us being zany or idiosyncratic at all. In fact, dentists are experts in facial anatomy and this makes them highly knowledgeable about facial aesthetics as well as excellent in carrying out delicate and precise procedures. At Ashlow Orthodontics, we offer a range of treatments to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Botox

We understand that many people don’t want to go under the knife and yet they are concerned about the ageing process. We offer a treatment that involves the use of botulinum toxin type A which is injected into the skin to help to rejuvenate it. It works because the botulinum toxin type A relaxes the facial muscles and as they relax, the skin appears smoother and more youthful. It can be used to treat a range of areas such as the frown lines between your eyebrows, forehead lines, crow’s feet, as well as the lines that may appear around the mouth and top lip (sometimes called ‘smoker’s lines’).

While people may not welcome the thought of needles, the treatment only lasts 5-10 minutes and so it is a quick and easy treatment that involves no pain at all and the results can be seen in as little a few days’ time, with results lasting up to 3 months before top-up treatments are required to keep the effects going. As an alternative to plastic surgery, this treatment offers a more convenient and less intrusive solution to freshening up your look and giving you the confidence to get out and about in style!

Dermal fillers

Another option that we have for patients looking to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is dermal fillers. This consists of hyaluronic acid gels that plump up the skin where the lines or wrinkles are, giving them a smoother appearance and making you look more youthful. Your body naturally produces hyaluronic acid and it is this which gives your skin its glow, but over time it depletes as you age. The hyaluronic acid gels are made from non-animal sources and can be injected in just a few minutes. We will use a local anaesthetic first to ensure that you don’t feel any pain and you can simply visit us in your lunch break for treatment – it’s that quick and easy!

Another bonus of dermal fillers is that you will be able to see the results immediately, so when you head back to the office, people should notice that you look better than when you left, except maybe for Derek – he only has eyes for a good spreadsheet, after all, but don’t worry about him!
