Botox in Gravesend: The Easy Way to Wave Goodbye to Wrinkles

22nd May, 2013

Would you love to turn back the clock a few years? Most of us would if we’re honest, as age and life experiences have a tendency to manifest themselves in the form of frown lines, crow’s feet and wrinkle lines on the forehead. While it might be impossible to halt the aging process, there is a way to help minimise its effects, and that is to use BOTOX® Cosmetic.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is prescription medicine that is injected into the facial muscles to improve the appearance of those frown lines that can develop in between your eyes, called the glabellar lines. These lines can give the appearance of tiredness, and can make you look less approachable. The dentists at Parrock Street Dental & Implant Centre are highly trained as the lengthy training required for dentistry provides them with an in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy, and they are very experienced at administering this treatment.

What to Expect from Botox in Gravesend

Your free consultation is your chance to ask all the questions you may have about this treatment. Our dentist will examine the way your facial muscles move to determine the treatment plan that would best meet your needs. If you decide to go ahead then this treatment only takes ten minutes or so to complete, as it requires just a few injections of the botulinum toxin. Any discomfort is extremely brief, and you’ll be able to get on with the rest of your day straightaway. The effect is to soften those frown lines through reducing the activity of the facial muscles. The injections take a week or two to show the full results, and generally last for up to four months.

The results given by this particular brand are precise and predictable. You can safely carry on maintaining the results every three to four months, but if you choose to discontinue treatment then your frown lines will gradually return to the way they were before BOTOX® Cosmetic.

Although most of our patients who have this treatment are women, we are seeing a considerable increase in the number of men choosing to soften their frown lines. It’s an excellent treatment and is very discreet. The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic can be a huge confidence booster for both men and women.

Wrinkle Relaxing Agent – Look Young and Vibrant Again!

10th May, 2013

After hitting the age of 35, people begin to think they are aging to fast. The reason for this is that the skin begins to lose its vibrancy and unattractive wrinkle, frown lines and crow’s feet around the eyes begin to look prominent than ever.

In times like these, looking in the mirror every morning is daunting. The fear of discovering more wrinkles is nerve wracking.  The only thing one wishes is to turn back time which seemed like a far-fetched idea once but not anymore.

With the latest and most innovative technological advancements in cosmetic treatment and dentistry, ground-breaking wrinkle treatments have come to the forefront. These treatments are no less than revelations for aging individuals.

If you are also struggling with facial wrinkle problem and you are tired of spending tons of money on so called anti-aging creams, then it’s time you get wrinkle relaxing agent treatment done. It is a quick and reliable way to say goodbye to those unwanted and unattractive aging lines.

Wrinkle Relaxing Agent Treatment

This is a purified substance that is used to block muscle nerve signals. During this cosmetic treatment the dentist safely and carefully injects botulinum toxin. It is also referred to as the nature’s potent nerve impulse blocker.

This toxin weakens the facial muscles and diminishes the frown lines and wrinkles of your face. It decreases the pull of the underlying muscles.

The wrinkle relaxing agent treatment is gaining popularity with time and has become quite a sensation because the botulinum toxin used in the treatment are highly effective and less painful as compared to surgical treatments which involve sculpting of the face to remove the wrinkles. These are simple, less time consuming and give you a flawless youthful glow.

This treatment is best for forehead lines, furrows, crow’s feet, wrinkles and laugh lines. The procedure is simple and takes about 10 to 15 minutes.  You can see noticeable results of the wrinkle relaxing agent treatment within 24 to 48 hours and the results keep getting better with time and improve up to 30 days.

If you are looking for a reliable and professional cosmetic treatment service provider, then Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre in Gravesend, Kent should be your first choice. The practice is popular for both cosmetic treatments like wrinkle relaxing agent and Botox in Kent.

Restylane – Smoothens Away Wrinkles

9th May, 2013

Are you tired of your frown lines and wrinkles? Is it lowering your confidence and self-esteem? Do you want to look young and ravishing again? If yes, then you need Restylane cosmetic treatment.

Restylane are injections composed of hyaluronic acid which is a crystal clear gel. Although hyaluronic acid is present in the body naturally, as you age it starts to reduce and becomes less functional. The advantage of this acid is that it holds the water in your skin; keeps it hydrated and gives the skin the volume. It needs to look fresh, young and vibrant.

For skin to glow and look younger again, Restylane is injected deep into the skin targeting facial wrinkles. It fills the wrinkles and makes the skin more youthful. These are also known as derma fillers. The injections are administered with anaesthesia which is given to the patient to ensure that the treatment is not painful.

It works best for wrinkles and facial lines around the lips, forehead and the eyes. The treatment lasts for 30 minutes with results that are visible right away. Nonetheless, the results improve for about a week. Also, the results are not permanent. You may have to schedule another appointment after 6 months to ensure you maintain your vibrant appearance.

Restylane treatment is becoming popular over time. It is not just popular among ordinary individuals but Hollywood stars as well. It provides elasticity to the skin, smoothens, and tightens it.

The reason for its ever-increasing popularity is that:

  • The results are fast and immediate
  • Less time consuming
  • Convenient and safe
  • You get a smoother and natural looking beautiful skin

However, this treatment requires expertise and experience therefore it is recommended that you get an appointment from a reliable and experienced cosmetic service provider like Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre.

Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre offers the best, customised and top quality cosmetic treatments including porcelain veneers and Restylane dermal fillers in Kent.  The excellence of services and a highly qualified team of dentists and surgeons have earned Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre a reputation of being a paradigm in the dental industry.

Your dentist can make you look younger

5th May, 2013

Have you considered getting facial rejuvenation treatment to look younger? For many people, the use of dermal fillers can dramatically alter their appearance for the better.The use of dermal fillers is a trusted technique that involves an injectable solution that is administered directly into the face at targeted zones. Two brands that are used at Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre are Restylane and Sculptra.

Led by Dr Rik Trivedi, the team members are trained to deliver this specialised treatment to a high level.  Made from injectable poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra plumps up the skin and smooth out deep lines, giving the face a more youthful appearance over a series of treatments. Sculptra targets the deep layer of skin and replaces lost collagen, which gradually evens out deep set wrinkles, giving your facial skin a youthful fullness.

Restylane consists of stabilised hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin and is used to add subtle volume to lips, giving them a fuller and more youthful appearance. In the ageing process, the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid is lost causing lines, wrinkles and folds. Dermal fillers like Restylane replace this lost hyaluronic acid, giving the targeted areas a firmer and rounded look.

Both treatments involve a series of painless injections. The filler effects are not permanent, so to get the full benefit it is recommended that patients return at intervals for more treatment. Before starting this kind of treatment, it is recommended that you look at the patient gallery of ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos on the practice website to get a better idea of how it works and looks afterwards.

If you are interested in dermal fillers in Kent you should visit Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre located at 189-191 Parrock Street, in Gravesend, Kent DA12 1EN. Dr Rik Trivedi and the rest of the dental team specialise in dental procedures and other forms of comprehensive aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers.

What is botulinum toxin and how is it used?

3rd May, 2013

Botulinum toxin is a type of neuromodulator that can be directly injected into a patient’s facial muscles. Many dental practices are able to use this material to help improve the overall aesthetics of the patient’s face. This type of neuromodulator can help reduce and improve frown lines and wrinkles on the face. It can be used around the mouth, under the eyes, on the forehead and around the bridge of the nose.

Botulinum toxin is a type of purified toxin made from a specific type of bacteria. When injected into the body in large amounts it can cause generalised paralysis, often referred to as botulism. However, when this toxin is injected into the facial muscles in very small amounts it will only block the nerve signals from the targeted muscle group. This causes a very localised relaxation and weakness of the facial tissues, which allows the body to stop causing wrinkles and lines to appear on the face. Once these muscles are weakened by the toxin they will be unable to contract. Since the facial muscles will be unable to create wrinkles and lines, the skin will gradually smoothout as a result of this lack of use. Since the toxin is only injected in tiny amounts into specifically targeted areas of the face it will not affect the facial muscles that are needed to provide certain movements, such as raising the eyebrows.

Botulinum toxin treatments are well tolerated by the vast majority of patients who receive them. It usually takes about three to seven days to see the full results. A single injection treatment will typically last about three to four months. After this time period the muscle’s ability to move will return and another treatment will be required. After several treatments the muscles of the face eventually become atrophied, which reduces the likelihood that the muscle’s ability to contract will return. This produces longer lasting results as time goes by.

Botulinum toxin treatments can be applied as part of a comprehensive dental care programme. This helps improve the entire look of the face, while improving the appearance of the teeth. People who are interested in Botox in Kent should contact the dental team at the Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre, which is led by Dr Rik Trivedi. They can be reached through their website at www.kentcosmeticdentists.co.uk, by calling 01474 537191 or by stopping by the practice at: 189-191 Parrock Street, in Gravesend, Kent DA12 1EN.


What you need to know about dermal fillers

27th April, 2013

If you want to know more about the benefits of dermal fillers to make you look younger you should pay a visit to Dr Rik Trivedi and the team and Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre. Specialising in cosmetic dentistry techniques, the practice also offers a range of injectable facial aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers.

One of the treatment types available is Sculptra, a long-lasting, clinically-proven treatment than can smooth out and soften deep lines and wrinkles and restore facial volume lost to the body’s natural ageing process. The treatment involves a series of painless injections containing the active filler solution into specific zones in the face. Once injected, this solution stimulates the build-up of the body’s own collagen to smooth out lines and wrinkles and restore lost facial volume to give you a fuller, younger-looking face.The aesthetic improvement is gradual, long-lasting and gives you an entirely natural-looking fuller face.

Sculptra is particularly used in the lip zone, giving lips a plumped-out look. Patients who have undergone cosmetic dental treatment such as orthodontics, veneers or teeth whitening often opt for dermal filler lip treatment to further enhance their smile. For many people, the use of dermal fillers can dramatically alter their appearance for the better.

Patients who are interested in this treatment must have a healthy immune system. If you have allergies to any of Sculptra’s ingredients or have a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring then this product is not recommended. Prior to treatment you will be given a full assessment to ensure your suitability.

If you want to put back what time has taken out of your face you should consider Kent dermal fillers at Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre located at 189-191 Parrock Street, in Gravesend, Kent DA12 1EN.

Show off a more youthful smile

23rd April, 2013

You may notice that over time your teeth become stained and chipped. In addition the skin around your mouth can begin to sag, as your skin begins to lose its natural elasticity due to the ageing process. Did you know that you can address both these issues at a dental practice?

Cosmetic dentistry techniques such as veneers and teeth whitening can be used to whiten stained teeth and even out any imperfections such as chips. The appearance of skin around the mouth can be improved with facial aesthetic treatments such as botulinum toxin type A.

This method involves a chemical solution containing an active ingredient that is injected into the skin at specific areas or age zones. The effect of the chemical solution is smoothed out lines and firmer looking skin. The botulinum toxin type A weakens the facial muscles and diminish any frown lines or unwanted wrinkles which appear on the forehead or at the corner of the eyes. The botulinum toxin works by using a 10 minute treatment involving a few tiny injections. In days there will be a noticeable improvement in the persistent lines between brows, which can last up to 4 months.  Over time this will reduce the activity of the muscles and prevent frown lines from forming over time. You can expect the effects to last for around 3-5 months.

Before choosing this type of treatment it is recommended to have a look at ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos of patients who have undergone this treatment. It is also important to understand that the effects are not permanent and repeat visits to the practice are required to maintain the youthful effects.

Botulinum toxin treatments can be applied as part of a comprehensive dental care programme. This helps improve the entire look of the face, while improving the appearance of the teeth. People who are interested in Botox in Kent should contact the dental team at the Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre, which is led by Dr Rik Trivedi.

How facial aesthetics can improve your smile

21st April, 2013

If you are interested in facial aesthetics and giving your face a more youthful appearance, you may not know that dentists can offer a wide range of treatments in this area. Dr Rik Trivedi from Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre has written an e-book on the topic called ‘The ultimate guide to a Youthful Face with Facial Aesthetics’ which is a special report that outlines the options in facial aesthetics to slow down the signs of aging.

Patients who receive cosmetic dental treatments such as teeth whitening, orthodontics or veneers are often interested in how they can further improve the appearance of their smile with the help of injectable wrinkle smoothing treatment. Together these treatments can have a rejuvenating effect and change the overall appearance of a person’s face to reflect a more youthful look. Straighter and whiter teeth can give the face an instant lift, enhancing any facial aesthetic treatments at the same time.

One of the treatments Dr Trivedi is qualified to deliver and has a great deal of experience in is injectable wrinkle smoothing treatment using Botulinum Toxin Type A. Thiswell-known treatment can smooth out age-related wrinkles such as crow’s feet, frown lines or lines on the forehead. The smoothing effectcan last between 3 – 5 months, which means you will be required to top up the treatment at regular intervals. The botulinum toxin injection is quick and painless, usually lasting around 5-10 minutes and results can usually be seen in a few days. As this is not a permanent treatment, it is recommended that the procedure is repeated every three months for effective results.

Before undergoing any treatment it is important to find out from a professional about what it entails. You also need to be assessed for your suitability to certain types of treatment.

Botulinum Toxin Type A treatments can be applied as part of a comprehensive dental care programme. This helps improve the entire look of the face, while improving the appearance of the teeth.
