Botox Cosmetic Injections

 Botox is extremely popular nowadays because it is simple to perform and consistently achieves good results. With just a few injections, the procedure can paralyse facial muscles and prevent them from wrinkling.

The name alone, Botox, is an implication of the true nature of the substance -Botulinum toxin type A. It is a non-surgical way to reduce or eliminate frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet and other wrinkles.There are other brands of the same toxin which work in exactly the same way, eg Azzalure

A tiny bit of botox treatment does a really powerful job. The treatment is effective but temporary and has to be repeated every 3-6 months. Botox weakens the facial muscles that create wrinkles and frowns when they contract. When it starts to wear off, muscle activity will gradually being to reappear, so you will not wake up one morning to all of your pre-Botox wrinkles lunging at you in the bathroom mirror! The goal of Botox is a subtle softening, not necessary the complete elimination of facial expression lines.

If you are thinking about taking Botox Injections, it is wise to first learn about the procedure and the possible side affects. Understanding how Botox works is an important step in making up your mind if it is a cosmetic surgery procedure that will be worthwhile for you. Let’s go through the procedure step by step.

First Clare will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The location, size, and use of the muscles that create a furrowed brow vary markedly among individuals.
Botox (Botulinum toxin type A) is then injected with a very tiny needle. The injected Botox attaches itself to nerve endings and blocks the release of the transmitter acetylcholine, causing the muscle to become relaxed.
Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Most patients compare the sensation to a pin prick.

In usual cases the Botox treatment lasts for about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. You may resume normal activity immediately. You may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows within a matter of two to three days. Improvement may continue for as long as a month, and could last up to 6 months. However, results are known to vary from person to person depending on their medical history and lifestyle.

Dermal Fillers now available with Dentelle

 
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a powerful moisturising agent .It exists naturally in the dermis where it helps to maintain tone and hydration levels in the skin. As we age the skin  starts to dry out and wrinkles start to appear. The tissues progressively sag and the face becomes hollow.

When injected into the dermis dermal fillers will effectively alleviate this hyaluronic acid deficiency. In this way HA fillers can be used to fill out facial lines and wrinkles and plump up lips. They have an established and excellent safety record and a wide range of products are available to suit individual requirements. No pre-test is required as the hypo-allergenic gel is so similar to our body’s own natural HA. The effect is not permanent as the filler biodegrades slowly over time.

Clare uses a  popular range of fillers including Teosyal and Belotero which have a soft consistency for a natural improvement.This treatment may be used for areas such as...
 

• Softening fine lines in any area of the face (e.g. forehead & frown lines)

• Eradicating  fine vertical wrinkles around the lips (e.g. smoker’s lines)

• Reducing Naso-labial (nose to mouth lines)

• Marionette lines at the cornesr of the mouth

• Lifting the corners of the mouth
• Volumising thin lips 

• Restoring loss of contour in the cheeks

ILLEGAL TOOTH WHITENING-ALWAYS SEE A QUALIFIED DENTAL PROFESSIONAL

GDC wins first-ever 'illegal' tooth whitening case

25th Mar 2011 -DENTISTRY MAGAZINE

In the first case of its kind,he UK's dental regulator has successfully prosecuted a clinic's boss for 'illegally' performing tooth whitening.The General Dental Council (GDC) regards this cosmetic treatment as the practice of dentistry and won its case against national chain, Style Smile Clinics.Under the Dentists Act 1984, it is an offence for non-registrants to practise or be prepared to practise dentistry.

The GDC launched the case last year after it received hundreds of complaints from members of the public and dental professionals about tooth whitening treatment being provided by individuals who are not registered dental professionals.

Chief executive and registrar of the GDC, Evlynne Gilvarry, says: ‘This case has significant implications for the dental profession and for public protection.'
The GDC will now consider its position carefully with regards to the hundreds of other complaints about the illegal practice of dentistry that it has received.
‘We are concerned about the risk to the public posed by such potentially hazardous treatment being provided by people without the training and qualifications necessary for registration as a dental professional.

Dentelle offers professional teeth whitening - carried out safely.            

Inman Aligner-straighter teeth for adults...Fast!

Inman Aligner™              http://www.dentelle.co.uk/inman-aligner.html

The Inman Aligner™ has been described as the "Greatest Innovation in Cosmetic Dentistry since the porcelain veneer".

A fairly recent addition to the dental market it is a fantastic, simple way of straightening your front teeth. There are limitations to the treatment but if you are suitable then it is possible to have straight teeth in only 10-12 weeks.

What is the Inman Aligner™?
Inman Aligners are a type of removable orthodontic appliance that is especially good for adults. They are not entirely invisible and have a thin metal or clear bar that shows across the front of the teeth. The Aligners are not suitable for every case as they are restricted by the tooth movement they can achieve, but in those patients who present with mildly misaligned top or bottom front teeth they can be the ideal solution. You will be able to find out whether you are suitable after a consultation with Clare.

How does the Inman Aligner™ work?

The Inman Aligner™ appliance straightens teeth by applying a gentle constant force. The force is created by a coiled spring which lies on the tongue side of the teeth and a bar which sits across the front of the teeth. These act in opposite directions, squeezing the teeth by a pushing/pulling action so that they come to lie within a predetermined arch.

Because the pressure is very gentle the aligner is comfortable to wear. It needs to be worn ideally for 16 - 20hours per day being removed for eating and cleaning.
