Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation
Do you have fine lines and wrinkles around your forehead, nose and mouth, or under the eyes; if so you are not alone.
Lines and wrinkles can develop as early as our 20s! Thankfully, today’s advanced injectable solutions & skin treatments enable patients to prevent & effectively reduce these fine lines and wrinkles in just minutes!
Dr. Derry Rogers and his team of Registered Nurses (RN’s) can achieve natural results & facial rejuvenation with Antiwrinkle Injections and an array of Dermal Fillers, as well as Skin Boosters & Skin Bio-remodelling. Dermal Fillers are additionally an excellent way to add natural-looking contours & replenish volume loss to the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline & much more.
Wrinkles: What You Need to Know
Fine lines and wrinkles develop in many forms. When we speak and form common facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, and squinting, our muscles strengthen & we form a groove beneath the skin. Over time with the natural use of our facial muscles we form static lines. Static lines stay on our face even when we are no longer using the muscle or expressing ourselves. Antiwrinkle Injections are designed to safely and effectively relax the muscles preventing further static lines from forming & softening lines that may already be present. Resulting is smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Another cause of wrinkle formation occurs naturally as we age – the skin slows down with it’s production of collagen & elastin, resulting in structural loss within the skin. These changes can be an inevitable, frustrating development. Thankfully, they can be addressed with strategically-placed injections of Hyaluronic Acid! Hyaluronic Acid comes in the form of Dermal Filler, Skin Boosters & Skin Bio-remodelling. These treatments are a TGA-approved method of adding natural-feeling volume that can last months to years.
Antiwrinkle Effects and Duration
What is Filler?
- The effects of Antiwrinkle can start to kick in 2-4 days after the injections, with full effect being 14 days for maximum effects to be noticeable.
- The effects generally last for 3-6 months & vary from individual to individual. Metabolism & other factors can effect the longevity of the product.
At DR Dental South Yarra we use Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler, which is a naturally-occurring molecule within the body. The Hyaluronic Acid molecule is moisture-retentive and plays an important role in keeping elastin and collagen in the skin healthy.
Hyaluronic acid will fill deep lines and increase volume in targeted areas, so these fillers achieve results that look and feel natural. Hyaluronic acid has the additional benefit of stimulating collagen production within the skin, which helps to extend and complement the outcomes of your results.
