The good news is that you don’t have to turn to surgical procedures to get that fresh-faced look. At The One Clinic, we can help you take ten years off your age (not literally, but aesthetically) with the help of non-surgical treatments or tweakments that help provide subtle enhancements to your skin and facial features.  We use anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers to visibly reduce lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

How dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections can help your skin look ten years younger 

Dermal fillers vs anti-wrinkle treatment

There is the common misconception that anti-wrinkle treatment and dermal filler treatment do the exact same thing. While they are both treatments that target the visible signs of ageing, what they do and the results they achieve are very different.  Anti-wrinkle treatment, also known as Botox, uses botulinum toxin type A, which is a protein that blocks the signals between the nerves and facial muscles. This causes the muscles to stop contracting for a few months. The result , Botox treatment helps to smooth away the fine lines and wrinkles that form when you smile, laugh or frown. These wrinkles are known as dynamic wrinkles.  Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are an injectable treatment that uses a gel-like substance to add volume and plump the skin. Dermal filler treatment can help to restore lost volume while also adding definition and shape to different areas of the face such as the cheeks, chin and jawline.  Another benefit of dermal fillers is that they boost hyaluronic acid and collagen in the skin. These are two natural substances in the body that we lose with age but that are vital to keeping the skin strong, flexible and looking healthy. While anti-wrinkle treatment targets dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers target the static wrinkles that remain on the face even after you stop using your muscles. Fillers help plump and fill these deep lines and wrinkles to give you a smooth and even appearance.  It is possible to combine these treatments, but you may have to have them separately to allow for both to do their job and give you the best results. 

The best areas to have Botox treatment

The most common areas to have anti-wrinkle treatment include:

•     Frown lines , on the forehead and just above the eyebrows
•     Forehead lines , horizontal lines across the forehead 
•     Crow’s feet , the outer corners of the eyes (laughter lines)
•     Bunny lines , fine lines on the sides of your nose
•     Lip lines , from pursing or pouting your lips

 You can also use Botox treatment to reduce neck bands or neck lines, which are the horizontal lines that form due to ageing and the constant muscle movements in your neck. Another popular treatment is masseter Botox treatment, which is where we inject Botox into the masseter muscle (the muscle that connects the lower jaw to the outer lower cheek area). Doing this relaxes this muscle and can help you achieve a slimmer or more contoured jawline. 

The best areas for dermal filler treatments 

Dermal fillers can treat more areas of the face and can support the results of anti-wrinkle treatment by adding volume, shape and definition to the face.  Our cosmetic doctors use dermal filler injections to treat the following areas:

• Lip fillers , to give more shapely and plump lip
• Nose fillers , or non-surgical rhinoplasty to smooth a dorsal bump or create a shapely nasal tip
• Tear trough fillers , or under-eye fillers to reduce dark circles or fill sunken tear troughs
• Cheek fillers , to add shape and definition to the cheek area
• Chin filler and jawline filler , often used together to fix a weak chin and jawline, while also helping to lift sagging skin or sagging jowls
• Nasolabial folds , smoothing the lines that appear from the bottom of the nose to the top of the mouth
• Marionette lines , reduce lines that form from the bottom of the mouth down to the chin
• Laughter lines , also known as smile lines
• Deep forehead lines , that sit on the skin permanently

Which lasts longer , dermal fillers or Botox?

Botox results

It takes up to two weeks for the anti-wrinkle injections to relax the facial muscles. This is when you will see your final results and fewer lines and wrinkles.  Your results should last for 3-4 months. For some people, this can be longer. At this point, your muscles will return to their normal function, and the lines and wrinkles will start to reappear.  At the three-month mark, we recommend that you book a top-up appointment to ensure you maintain your results. 

Dermal filler results

Straight after your dermal filler treatment, you will see some visible improvements in the plumpness and stricture of your skin. This will continue to improve over the next two weeks as the fillers settle into place. This is when you will see your final results.  Dermal fillers last longer than Botox. Most patients see the results of their dermal fillers for 9-12 months. This will depend on how your body responds to the fillers, your lifestyle and how quickly your body breaks them down. We recommend that you come back to the clinic at the 9-12 month mark to have a top-up treatment. This will ensure your skin stays looking smooth, plump and rejuvenated. 

How to address the other common signs of ageing

Skin pigmentation issues 

Age spots, sun spots or an uneven skin tone can also make your skin look older than you are. While skincare products such as vitamin C or retinol can go a long way to reducing, treatments such as Laser IPL, chemical peels and vampire facials can help reverse some of the damage on your skin. 

Loose skin on your chest and neck

The skin on your neck and upper chest (decolletage) can often show the visible signs of ageing such as lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. We often focus on the skin on our face, but this area is always very susceptible to ageing and environmental stress. To help lift, firm and rejuvenate loose skin, we provide Endolift treatment and Morpheus8. Both of these treatments help kick-start the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, which increases its stretch and flexibility. 

Scars and redness or rosacea

If you suffer from acne scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or facial redness, this can make your skin look older and tired. To help treat this, you need to give your skin a boost of hydration and collagen to promote the growth of new and healthy skin cells.  The best treatments for these skin conditions include laser IPL, HydraFacial, chemical peels and Morpheus8.
