Before Treatment
After Treatment
In Ireland, antiwrinkle injections and dermal fillers treatments can only be offered by either doctors or dentists. Even though these treatments are easy to perform, knowledge of facial anatomy is essential to success of treatment.
Dentists are health providers very knowledgeable in the muscles of mastication and the muscles of facial expression which routinely receive antiwrinkle injections treatment.Many wrinkles are actually creases that have been etched in the skin by making the same expression thousands of times. These are called “expressions lines” or dynamic wrinkles.
Typical dynamic lines include frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes and forehead wrinkles. The presence of these wrinkles can add years to our appearance, often making us look angry, tired, worried when we are not. Antiwrinkle injections with Botulinum Toxin type A are remarkably safe and effective treatment which can help you to control your facial expressions so that you don’t look angry or worried when you are happy. In the 90’s when the toxin was released, everyone wanted wrinkle free expressionless faces. The trend for anti-wrinkle treatments has changed and currently “less is more”, people want to look better without looking “frozen”. This can be achieved by using lower doses and repeating treatments more frequently.
