Facial Aesthetics

Everyone wants flawless and perfect skin, be they teenagers or the elderly; the fact that ever-glowing and healthy skin attracts people is undeniable.

People try a lot of options on their own for minor cosmetic problems but often end up worsening the situation even further.

Facial aesthetics is a category under cosmetic treatments that helps boost and augment your natural beauty. It aims to conceal or resolve the flaws that may develop due to ageing or otherwise. Facial aesthetics is a rapidly progressing branch, and after dentistry, doctors are specialising in facial aesthetic treatments. It involves multiple techniques based on your skin type, age, and several other factors.

What are Facial Aesthetics?

Facial aesthetics are small cosmetic, non-surgical treatment modalities performed to improve your facial appearance. They can veil or even slow down the process of ageing and give you a youthful look for a longer time. It utilises several synthetic or natural chemicals to augment your beauty. These are injected under your skin in specialised areas using microneedles.

Skincare treatments that are useful when your skin becomes tanned or damaged due to excessive exposure to sun, pollution, or any other reasons, are also included under facial aesthetics. They encompass every modality, from anti-wrinkle treatments to Restylane skin boosters.

They provide very subtle and gradual improvements; hence, they don’t seem very pretentious. This not only boosts your self-esteem but also turns all eyes towards you.

These are clinically safe and FDA-approved but should be performed only by professionals because you would not want an amateur or unskilled person like someone at the saloon roughly handling your skin.

Who can perform Facial Aesthetic treatments?

Facial aesthetics is a specialised branch, and hence, skilled facial aestheticians can perform these treatments efficiently.

Facial aesthetics in dentistry is now very well-known, and at Caversham Heights dental practice, we have a professional individual who is highly proficient and trained in facial aesthetic treatments. You can stay assured of world-class quality and hospitality with us. We provide a friendly environment and take the utmost care of the comfort of our patients.

What treatments are included under Facial Aesthetics?

The treatments provided by Caversham Heights under facial aesthetics are as follows:

Anti Wrinkle Correction

Anti-wrinkle treatment uses Botulinum toxin A to stave off the fine lines and wrinkles from your face and give you a rejuvenated, youthful look. The areas that are targeted under this include frown lines, eyebrows, forehead lines, and the area around the lips or mouth.

Anti-wrinkle treatment is a safe and effective and can give you startling results, but it is not permanent. The toxin is injected into the targeted areas with microneedles. The procedure is almost painless and does not require anaesthesia. It usually takes only about 5-10 minutes to complete. It works by relaxing the facial muscles, whose tension is responsible for the wrinkles and fine lines on your face.

It lasts for about 3-6 months, and you will need retreatment after that; otherwise, your skin will exhibit wrinkles once again.

There are no or minimal side effects. Local irritation and redness may persist for a few days due to the needle prick, but it usually resolves by itself and does not require any specific treatment. However, it is contraindicated in pregnant and lactating females because it blocks the neuromuscular junctions, which may have an antagonistic effect.

Dermal Fillers

These are a way to fill your loose and saggy skin to tighten it and give it a natural glow. The dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid and are FDA-approved to contour and volume your facial structure. With the passage of time, your skin loses elasticity because of the loss of natural hyaluronic acid. Dermal fillers tend to replace them with synthetic hyaluronic acid and give it a similar youthful look. It can reduce decades from your face in just a few injections. Hyaluronic acid also moisturises your skin and gives it a bright and radiant glow. The areas which are targeted by dermal fillers include lips, cheeks, acne scars, tear troughs, chin, and jawline. The procedure is done by numbing the area by using a topical anaesthetic.

It lasts for 15-45 minutes, depending on how many areas are to be treated and how much improvement they require. The results will be visible from the very first treatment, but to maintain them for a longer duration, frequent treatments will be required at intervals of 2-3 months. This is because the therapy is not permanent, and the body breaks down even the synthetic hyaluronic acid injected under your skin.

There are no prominent side effects, but due to injection by microneedles, itching, redness, inflammation, and some tenderness may persist for a few days.

The application of ice is recommended after the treatment to soothe the skin and relieve the symptoms.

I have been using this dental practice for many years. I can be a bit of a baby when it comes to having treatment but honestly the practice is so very good. My dentist Karen is a wonderful kind and gentle dentist. It helps when you’re made to feel at ease. The receptionists are also kind and friendly whilst making sure they have all the right and up to date medical information about you. I would 100% recommend them to anyone in the area. The hygienist is also very good.

I cannot recommend Caversham Heights Dental Practice enough.I was an extremely nervous patient and had not seen a dentist for several years. Even from the first phone call with reception it was clear that my nerves would be taken seriously and that everyone wanted to make the experience as comfortable as possible.Dr Baidwan took the time to understand my previous experiences, why I was scared and explained everything really calmly and clearly with no judgement. He put together a treatment plan that worked for me, explained everything he was doing and why, and generally made every effort to put me at ease.I have been a regular fixture at the practice over the last couple of months - the treatment has been excellent throughout and seeing the improvement as the work has progressed has given me a renewed sense of confidence. I would highly recommend to anyone, but particularly those who have anxiety associated with previous bad experiences at a dentist.

I registered for the Invisalign open day in October and decided to go ahead. I’ve found everyone at the practice to be friendly and welcoming and the appointments are quick and easy to book. As a very nervous patient, Amrinder communicates throughout to make me feel at ease. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Caversham Heights is an outstanding dental practice. We’ve been regular patients for the last 7 years - Karen is terrific and now brilliant with our young children too. More recently I’ve completed Invisalign with Amrinder - who has been just fantastic throughout and I’m so pleased with the results. Can’t recommend highly enough!

I highly recommend Dr. Amrinder Baidwan and his exceptional team. The level of professionalism and care I received was outstanding. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and efficient. Amrinder took the time to explain everything thoroughly, addressing any concerns I had. The atmosphere was calming, and the entire experience surpassed my expectations.

I have been a patient at Caversham Heights Dental Practice for many years. When I first went I’m afraid my teeth and gums had been neglected. However, over the years with great professionalism, patience and encouragement from Karen as my dentist and more recently Jo-Anne my hygienist my dental health has been transformed. I’ve always been confident that the advice and treatment that they have given me is what is right for me.The atmosphere is welcoming; Carol on reception knows immediately who I am when I phone and with good humour and quiet efficiency organises my appointments – whether routine scheduled appointments or on those rare occasions when I have needed more pressing unscheduled treatment.In short, I get excellent patient care and I feel valued as a patient. I wouldn’t go anywhere else – even if in the future I move away from Reading I will return for my dental care.

She did indeed have a small fracture!Katy our usual dentist always looks after our whole family exceptionally well, good to know she has such a great colleague to step in when we needed urgent help.

The entire practice is welcoming, the reception team are incredibly helpful and the hygienists are wonderful, communicating well with Katy to ensure a closed-loop of dental care.
