At Templeogue Dental, patient safety is our priority.
Dr. Eoin will be able to adjust the dose and positioning of your anti-wrinkle injections to achieve the best results. This will be discussed with you before treatment.
Dr. Eoin can also use anti-wrinkle injections to treat other concerns such as gummy smile which reduces the look of an overly visible gum line. Masseter muscle injection slims the jaw and aids teeth grinding.
What are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
While the muscle relaxant is working these lines cannot get any deeper as you are not repeatedly creasing the skin. This is why people often have this treatment to prevent the formation of wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle injections do not remove deep, fixed lines but it may reduce them slightly stopping them from getting worse.
Anti-wrinkle injections are regarded as being safe and have been used to treat tens of millions of patients worldwide for both medical and cosmetic reasons over the past two decades.
When administered correctly, muscle relaxation will typically last for 3 – 4 months (however individual factors apply and some clients get a longer or shorter duration than this). Anti-wrinkle injections are not painful as ultrafine needles are used.
It is a quick, easy, and very effective treatment with little or no recovery time.
