What happens during facial aesthetics treatments?

As experts in facial structures and how they work, our team is highly experienced and skilled when it comes to delivering aesthetics treatments that enhance your natural appearance. At Knights Dental we offer Botox® and dermal fillers to help you to look like the best version of yourself.

Botox® anti-wrinkle injections are recommended for addressing fine lines and wrinkles caused by the movement of the face, typically treating forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines.

Fillers are typically used to achieve a more youthful appearance, softening the appearance of scars and plumping up areas where the skin has lost collagen as a natural part of ageing. It's often used to add fullness to the lips, cheeks and jaw.

Before your treatment your practitioner will discuss your goals, what's recommended to achieve them and the process involved. Both Botox® and fillers are administered using a fine needle to carefully and precisely target the area of concern and achieve balanced results.

Your appointment should not take more than around 30-minutes, depending on your specific case. In the case of Botox® the results may take up to two weeks to be fully apparent and should then last for up to six months. For fillers it may also take up to two weeks for the treatment to settle and again they can last for up to around six months.

How does Botox® work?
Botulinum Toxin (Botox ®) works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles, causing a smoothing effect on the lines in your face that are caused by movement.
Dermal fillers work by plumping up the skin, quite literally filling areas that have lost volume or collagen as a natural part of the ageing process.
When administered by a qualified practitioner, both dermal fillers and Botox® are considered safe.
Botox® is suitable for most people. However, it’s important to have a thorough consultation with your Knights Dental practitioner before treatment to rule out any potential reasons why it might not be for you. For example, it is not recommended in the following instances:

If the injection site is infected
If you have previously had an allergic reaction to Botox®
If you have a chronic disease such as Myasthenia Gravis or Eaton Lambert syndrome
For people under the age of 18
If you are breastfeeding or pregnant
If you have chronic difficulties breathing
If you have a blood clotting disorder such as haemophilia, or if you are taking anticoagulant medicines
If you have a history of Bell’s Palsy or stroke
Both are delivered using a fine needle or cannula, making them relatively painless. You may experience some additional swelling immediately after filler treatment, but this should subside within a day or so.
The effect of the treatment typically lasts between three and six months, so it’s not recommended that you have further treatments within 12 weeks.
In the hands of an experienced practitioner, the side effects of facial aesthetics treatments are considered unusual, minimal and mild. Some may experience mild tenderness at the injection site immediately post-treatment, or a small amount of swelling or bruising.
After treatment it’s important to let your skin settle. Try not to apply make-up, heavy cleansers or alcohol based products to your skin, and you should not do strenuous exercise for 48 hours. We also recommend:

If bruising appears, you can apply Arnica cream after 48 hours

If you experience mild pain after your procedure, take paracetamol

You should try to frown and lift your eyebrows for up to four hours following your treatment to encourage the Botox to reach all of the treated muscle

Avoid touching and rubbing the injected areas and don’t have a massage or facials for 48 hours
