Line and Wrinkle Treatments

Wrinkles are caused by everyday factors like sun damage, smoking and facial expressions including laughing or frowning. As you get older the elasticity of your skin reduces too, and wrinkles naturally form – injectable procedures such as Botox can help to reduce wrinkles for younger looking skin.

These injectable procedures, often called “Botox”,  help to smooth out facial wrinkles especially frown lines on the forehead, wrinkles around the eyes and laughter lines, without the need for surgery. Botox injectable treatments are often used to slow down the effects of ageing and as a non-surgical alternative to facelifts or brow lifts.

Wrinkle Reducing (Botox) Injections
There are a number of Botox type products on the market, including Dysport, Azzalure,  Xeomin, Vistabel, as well as the original Botox, but are all commonly referred to as ‘Botox’ because they all contain the same toxin, Botulinum Toxin A that stops muscles from moving and smoothes wrinkles on the face.

Botox injections are particularly good for the upper face, eg frown lines, crows feet, smile lines and brow furrows.Botox  injections smooth, lift and can even be used to correct asymmetry and shape the eyebrows into a nice arch.  Botox can also be used to treat lip lines and neck wrinkles, when administered by an experienced practitioner.

Dermal Fillers
Fillers are fantastic! They are a quick and easy way of treating static lines (those that are there even when your face is still) and can also be used for adding volume and shape to your face.

The most commonly known brand is Restylane but there are numerous fillers including Perlane, Juvederm, Belotero, Hydrafill, Teosyal and most are made of a natural substance called hyaluronic acid.  The body is full of hyaluronic acid and it attracts water and plumps skin, making it firm and healthy.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are natural and effective way of instantly filling lines, and wrinkles on the face, restoring volume and shaping the face.  Filler, when correctly administered by an experienced injector, is soft and natural looking, and can last up to a year. Well placed filler never looks artifical or lumpy, just smooth and youthful, so for instant and long lasting volume and lift, ask for an appointment with Dr Dewji or Dr Awudu.

“Gummy Smile”

While some people smile, their upper lip elevates too far above their upper teeth, exposing gums and producing an unattractive “Gummy Smile.” This phenomenon could be due to several factors. One of the reasons is hyperactive muscle which elevates the upper lip. Occasionally, the gummy smile is also aggravated by a thin upper lip that further contributes to the problem by exposing the upper gum even more. While for most people smiling is an expression of happiness, individuals whose gums stand out more than their smile does often feel self-conscious. Very often those with gummy smiles try to control and minimize their smile and some feel so self-conscious that they prefer not to smile at all.   This may have a detrimental effect on one’s professional, social, and personal relationships. Thankfully,  gummy smile reduction is now possible, simple and effective. Utilizing a non-surgical approach by injecting small amounts of Botox® into the hyperactive muscle of the upper lip, Dr. Dewji will give you a smile that is natural and carefree. This simple procedure will weaken the hyperactive muscles and reduce the elevation of your upper lip, thereby reducing your inhibiting gummy smile.

How long does the treatment take?
The procedure takes about 15 minutes.

What does this procedure involve?
Dr. Dewji will apply a topical anesthetic, or plain  ice, to numb the area prior to injection.  A small amount of Botox® will  be injected on each side of your lip to weaken the muscles’ ability to contract. Within the next 3-4 days elevation of the upper lip is progressively weakened and your smile is transformed, showing less gum and giving you the confidence to smile without inhibition.

How long do the results last?
Your new smile will  last about four months and you will surely make up for all that time of hiding your smile!

Preparing for the Procedure
During your  initial complimentary consultation,  Dr. Dewji will  examine your individual concerns and determine whether this procedure is right for you.  It is preferable that you temporarily stop taking  medications that may cause bleeding, such as vitamin A and E, aspirin, or aspirin-like products (Ibuprofen, Naproxen,), one week before the procedure to reduce chances of minor bruising.
