Medical Aesthetics Clinics Coventry, West Midlands

Fine line and wrinkle smoothing treatments are one of the most extensively studied medical aesthetic treatments available. Wrinkle smoothing treatments are a safe, simple and effective way to improve fine lines and deep wrinkles in the upper part of the face. They work by relaxing facial muscles making lines and wrinkles, such as crows feet and frown lines, less obvious. However, these treatments are also being used to lift eyebrows, corners of the mouth and reduce orange peel appearance of the chin.

The most popular dermal fillers used today are made of a material using hyaluronic acid based products. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are non-permanent, meaning that they are reabsorbed into the body over time. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is found in body tissues, and it has been used safely in general medical applications for several decades. Throughout the ageing process we lose some of the skin’s ‘building blocks’ such as collagen and fat, which are the materials that prevent to skin becoming loose and saggy, allowing fine lines and wrinkles to appear. As we age, our skin becomes thinner and more visible lines and wrinkles start to appear. The facial bones and fat pads begin to shrink accelerating the creation of folds and deep wrinkles. The dermal filler acts as a replacement for the lost fat and helps to restore our skin to its former youthful appearance. The material is carefully injected into different layers of the skin depending on the type of filler selected and the patient’s needs. Dermal fillers are available in different thicknesses and viscosity that match to the patients needs. The thicker products are generally reserved for deep folds or wrinkles, whilst smoother product is used to plump out fine lines and wrinkles.

Anti-wrinkle injections using Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox) is the most popular treatment in the UK. This is a quick, safe and simple procedure involving muscle relaxing injections. It can be used to smooth out those lines and wrinkles on the frown between the eye brows, forehead lines, and crows feet. Botox is a prescription only medicine and should be considered a medical procedure and carried out by a qualified medical professional only.
