Anti-wrinkle Treatment
At Dental Wellbeing, we offer our patients non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment which can improve the appearance of your skin and make you feel better about yourself
The target treatment areas are:
- Creases or lines on the forehead
- Lines that have appeared at the corner of the eyes (crow’s feet)
- Frown or Worry lines
- Lines at the side of the mouth or above the cupids bow.
We provide Azzalure ® treatment which helps relax the appearance of severe glabellar lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows) which are seen when we frown and around the eyes. Azzalure ® is a local muscle relaxant adapted from the botulinum toxin type-A drug that effectively paralyses specific muscle groups. The treatment is specifically designed for use in aesthetic indications.
Azzalure ® is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adult patients under 65 years, when the severity of these lines has an important detrimental and psychological impact for the patient.
How does this work?
Azzalure injections contain the active ingredient botulinum toxin type A, which is a toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum.
Botulinum toxin type A is a bacterial toxin that prevents nerves from functioning normally (a neurotoxin). It prevents nerves from releasing a chemical called acetylcholine, which is needed for nerves to communicate with muscle cells. The toxin therefore prevents muscles from receiving nerve stimulation.
An improvement in the appearance of frown lines is seen after a couple of days. The effect of these injections lasts for up to four months. For a continued effect you would need to keep having the injections every three to four months.
Immediately following treatment, you might experience temporary redness but this should not interfere with your daily routine.
