Winter can be tough on your skin, making it feel dry and flaky. You may find that it loses its elasticity, too – making it harder for you to combat the signs of ageing.
With a busy month of festive parties and social events to attend – indulging in tasty treats and exchanging gifts – finding the time to give your skin a much-needed “glow up” in December is often easier said than done.
This explains why so many people wait until the new year to fulfil their aesthetic needs.
If this rings true with you, we’re confident we can help you maintain a natural yet radiant appearance with our anti-wrinkle injections and lip fillers in St Helens.
Read on to find out more about the aesthetic treatments we offer at Kiln Lane Dental, including what they are and how you can benefit.
What are facial aesthetics?
Facial aesthetics are cosmetic treatments that enhance your natural beauty by highlighting your facial features.
Botulinum toxin injections (Botox®) relax the muscles in your face, helping to smooth out lines and wrinkles without the need to undergo surgery. Perfect if your skin needs to catch up from those sleepless nights.
Dermal fillers like our lip fillers in St Helens are another popular option for those wanting to fill unsightly lines and wrinkles and add volume to their faces. It involves injecting hyaluronic acid (a natural substance) into the skin around the mouth and lips to improve lip symmetry, create definition or enhance the overall shape and size of the lips.
What are the benefits of facial aesthetics?
Here at Kiln Lane, our experts want you to feel confident in your skin – and our facial aesthetic treatments are a surefire way to ensure exactly that!
One of the biggest advantages of dermal fillers and Botox in St Helens is that they are non-surgical and non-invasive treatments.
Botox will be injected into the muscles in your face using a fine needle. The process itself usually takes about 10 minutes, depending on how many areas are being treated (i.e. forehead frown lines only or forehead and crow’s feet).
For lip fillers, our practitioner will apply an anaesthetic cream to numb the skin – ensuring you don’t experience too much pain or discomfort. This treatment typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated and your desired results. You may find that the affected area is a bit red, tender or swollen immediately after having hyaluronic acid injected into your lips – but this is completely normal and will usually settle within a few days.
As a result of our aesthetic treatments being non-surgical (and carried out by a qualified practitioner at our dental clinic in St Helens), recovery times are generally shorter and you can expect fewer side effects. Although we’ll assess every patient on a case-by-case basis, most patients will be able to resume daily activities immediately after receiving treatment.
