Turn back the clock!
Many of us would like to have a few less 'Frown-lines' or 'Crows-feet'. Also as we get older our lips tend to get thinner and collapse inwards. At Molloy Dental Practice we can now help you correct these signs of aging, rejuvenating that youthful vibrancy we all crave.
Young skin is smooth and elastic and contains a large amount of hyaluronic acid that helps the skin look healthy. As we grow older, the ability of the skin to produce this acid decreases and the overall amount of the acid begins to fall. As hyaluronic acid helps to bind water, the ability of the skin to retain water also declines with age. As a result, the skin becomes drier, thinner and less able to restore itself. The loss of skin fullness also means that the skin becomes looser. This leads to wrinkling and the older appearance of the skin.
We use what are known as 'dermal fillers' to help rehydrate your skin and reduce wrinkles and lines. A small amount of the filler is injected into the skin with a very fine needle. The injected gel produces natural volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. The results can be seen immediately.
We also use anti-wrinkle treatments which will reduce the activity of the muscles that cause lines to form over time. These 'muscle inhibitors' work by temporarily reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause persistent lines. Within days you may see an improvement that can last 6-12 months.
These treatments are fast, painless and safe and leave no scars or other traces on the face. The treatment is long-lasting but not permanent. This means that you always have the option to assess your looks. The length of time a treatment maintains its effect is very individual and depends on many factors, such as your age, skin type, life-style and muscle activity, as well as the injection technique. Our experience has shown that a typical treatment can be effective for up to one year or more. Most patients choose to have a follow-up treatment six to twelve months after the initial treatment of wrinkles.
These treatments are becoming increasingly popular with millions of successful cases having been carried out worldwide. Both the dermal fillers and muscle inhibitors can make a big difference to how you feel about yourself. Call us on 01 862 1877 and arrange to come and see us.
