Dermal Fillers for a Confident Smile
Why do we get wrinkles?
Wrinkles and facial lines result from ageing, muscle activity and your genetic predisposition. In addition, sun exposure, alcohol consumption and smoking can also increase the evidence of wrinkles. Use of the facial muscles creases the skin when we frown, smile or raise our eyebrows. As we get older, these creases become deeper and more pronounced through constant use. Dermal Fillers in Cumbria can help you with that.
What is Botulinum Toxin Type-A?
Botulinum Toxin Type-A has been in use for over 20 years as a treatment for squints and nervous ticks. This treatment is probably the most popular cosmetic medical treatment for facial lines and wrinkles and it can be used successfully in combination with other rejuvenation treatments.
How does it work?
It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles under the skin so that when you frown or smile, the treated muscles stay relaxed and don’t crease the skin.
