How Skin Ages

Over time the skin's structure deteriorates as a result of exposure to wind, sun, cold and pollution. In addition, fatigue, emotional changes and simply the passage of time results in a noticeable impact on the appearance of the skin. These internal and external forces combine to weaken your skin's structure and appearance. The skin loses elasticity and volume, which can result in prominent wrinkles and loss of volume.

The Role of Hyaluronic Acid and Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in moisturizing the skins and giving it elasticity and tone. It is a reduction in the natural hyaluronic acid in the skin over time which contributes to skin aging. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm are highly purified forms of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid which is found in many tissues in the body. It is a clear gel which is effective in smoothing out the appearance of deep wrinkles by restoring volume to cheeks, giving back to the skin its volume and initial form. By using dermal fillers, lips can be re-shaped to produce a fuller, more defined mouth. After receiving hyaluronic acid, the skin looks fresher and more hydrated, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

After Dr. Roberts completes a personalized consultation and diagnosis, she can recommend the most suitable treatment for you. There are a variety of formulations and she can select the one most appropriate for you based on the type and severity of the wrinkles to be treated. The treatment takes only 15 to 30 minutes and involves injecting the dermal filler into the dermis with a very fine needle, usually only a few millimeters beneath the skin surface. Dr. Roberts may recommend the use of an anaesthetic to increase comfort. The beneficial results are visible immediately and last for approximately 6 to 9 months while the filler is naturally absorbed. To maintain the benefits, you can combine your appointments with your dental re-care and pamper yourself to a quick dermal fill makeover.

Botox

Botox Cosmetic is a naturally purified protein which is widely used to help reduce the appearance of aging by softening facial lines and wrinkles. Offered by your certified Botox dentist, it is highly effective for the treatment of expression lines such as "crow's feet" near the eyes and forehead furrows or frown lines.

These lines are caused when overactive muscles reduce the collagen in the skin, which contributes to the skin's wrinkled appearance. When injected into the facial muscles in minute quantities, Botox Cosmetic relaxes the muscles, preventing and improving the appearance of wrinkles and smoothing lines. Completed by a certified Botox dentist like Dr. Roberts, with her extensive experience, the procedure is painless and takes about 10 minutes. Botox Cosmetic injections need to be repeated every few months as the material is gradually broken down in the body.

With Dr. Roberts qualifications as a lecturer who offers Botox training for dentists... the results of redefining your appearance and your best features will be simply amazing!

Dr. Janet Roberts also participates in the Eesthetic Dentistry Study Club and a Botox Training Study club, that views specific cases and improves the success for each patient. She is also the Co-Program Director for the California Center for Advanced Dental Studies (CCADS), bringing dental continuing education courses on cosmetic dentistry to dentists around the country.
