Facial Injectables in Tweed Heads

TC Smiles understands that a dentists’ role isn’t just confined to the inside of the mouth.

Part of improving your facial profile is to enhance areas that can be addressed with minimal intervention. We’ll listen to your goals and advise you on what we recommend you do. All procedures, costs and aftercare will be fully detailed to you.

The Causes of Wrinkles

Woman with beautiful skin and beautiful smile Wrinkles can encompass a ridge, fold or crease in your skin. They are a natural part of ageing that is inevitable. Your skin thins, loses elasticity, becomes drier and isn’t as capable of regeneration as the years go by.

Some of the factors that contribute to the ageing of your skin include:

Exposure to UV rays – Whether artificial or natural, UV light is detrimental to your skin’s health. It breaks down elastin and collagen, which give the skin elasticity.
Dehydration: Did you know that 60% of your body is water? If you’re dehydrated, your skin will lose the volume that is provided by water molecules.
Smoking: If you smoke, your skin has a reduced blood supply and flow. Oxygen and other nutrients aren’t delivered to your skin as they should be.

We will determine the specific factors that are causing your wrinkles and determine how to address them in the short-term and the long-term. The services we offer within facial injectables includes anti-wrinkle therapy and cosmetic dermal fillers.

Anti-Wrinkle Therapy

The muscles in your face are constantly being used, whether you’re aware of it or not. The skin on top of your muscles moves, too. As the muscle constantly moves, the skin above it will wrinkle where the muscle is contracting. An anti-wrinkle injection paralyses the hyperdynamic muscles so that the skin under it can flatten out.

Only trained professions can administer this prescription. We use a popular brand that will relax the hyperdynamic muscles in your face. The results of it last about 4-6 months. Most commonly, people have anti-wrinkle injections in their forehead, crow’s feet and frown lines.

Cosmetic Dermal Fillers

If you have areas of skin where the volume has been lost, dermal fillers are the ideal solution. Since your skin loses collagen and elastin with age, the skin appears thinned out and sags. Our products fill the skin’s dermal layer to reduce wrinkles and restore its volume.

Our dermal fillers contain naturally-occurring substances found in your skin such as hyaluronic acid, fat and collagen. With micro-injections, your skin will be plumped up for a more youthful experience. It allows you to show off a refreshed appearance without having to resort to surgery.

Since the products in our fillers are naturally occuring, the results are not permanent. How long they’ll last depends on how full you want the area to be and the desired location of the injection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who performs the facial injectables?

Dentist Dr Zaid Wall performs this service. He has considerable experience so you can be confident knowing you’re in highly capable hands.

How soon will I see results afterwards?

For neuromodulators, results typically begin to appear in 2-5 days, with full effects showing in about two weeks. If you’re receiving dermal fillers, you’ll notice immediate results, though there might be some initial swelling.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects from neuromodulators are minimal and may include mild bruising at the injection site. Dermal fillers may cause temporary swelling or soreness. However, these effects are generally short-lived and manageable.

Can facial injectables be combined with other cosmetic procedures?

Yes! They can be combined with procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, or other cosmetic enhancements, depending on your desired look. We can customise a plan to help you achieve your goals.

How long is the recovery time after getting this service?

There’s virtually no recovery time with neuromodulators – you can return to your daily routine immediately. Lip fillers might result in slight swelling or numbness, but these symptoms usually resolve within a day.

How often should I get facial injectables to maintain results?

For neuromodulators, sessions are usually needed every six months to a year to maintain results. Dermal fillers may last anywhere from three months to a year, depending on the type and location of the filler.

Is it possible to overdo neuromodulator injections?

Yes, overuse can lead to a “frozen” look or potential resistance to the product. Dr Wall usually advocates and advises that patients should only use the product if they notice wrinkles or lines at rest.

What can I do to maintain or extend the results of the injectables?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle – staying hydrated, protecting your skin from the sun, and avoiding smoking – can help prolong the effects of facial injectables. Sun damage, in particular, can accelerate skin ageing, so be sure to wear sunscreen.
