Facial Aesthetics
Wrinkles in the mid face are often a reflection of what is happening inside our mouth. When our teeth are misaligned, worn or missing, they are unable to support our facial muscles in a desirable way. This loss of support can lead to collapse of the facial tissues resulting in wrinkles. After the treatment of the underlying cause, imperfections may still exist in the surface of our skin. In cases like this, the use of dermal fillers (TEOSYAL) and muscle relaxants (Dysport) have proven useful as supportive treatments.

How are Hyaluronic Acids Adminstered?
Hyaluronic acid (commonly known as fillers) is injected into the skin defect with a fine needle. In most cases, the improvement is seen immediately but the degree of impact depends largely on the degree of volume loss and depth of wrinkle before treatment.
Muscle Relaxant
Wrinkles aren your style and the “frozen look” either. For adults who want a natural look, Botulinum Toxin Type A have proven to help smooth the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles in the upper face for adults under 65 years of age.
Type A Botulinum Toxin is a purified protein derived from Clostridium Botulinum bacteria, which acts to reduce muscle activity. It was first used in the 1960s to treat motor disorders and involuntary muscular spasms such as cerebral palsy and furthered developed for cosmetic use.
