Aesthetics

We all get older and, unfortunately, wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process. As we age our bodies produce less collagen, our skin loses elasticity and lines and creases start to appear. However, thanks to a range of treatments known as facial aesthetics, it’s now possible to reduce these signs of ageing and maintain a more youthful, radiant look

What are aesthetic treatments?

Facial aesthetics is a term used to describe a range of non-surgical treatments. These include anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. The treatments are designed to soften expression lines, define facial contours and improve the overall appearance of your skin.

Before you undergo any type of facial aesthetic treatment, it’s you important you discuss it with your dentist first. While the effects are only be temporary, everyone’s skin is different and you need to be sure you are choosing the right treatment for you.

Facial aesthetics can help if you want to reduce the signs of ageing and if you want to improve the look of skin that’s been damaged by smoking or exposure to the sun.

We provide these non-surgical procedures as part our extensive treatment range. They could be just what you need to rejuvenate your skin so you look and feel your best.
