Facial Injectables and Dermal Fillers at Adelaide Dental Spa

Types of Injectables We Offer

Dermal fillers and cosmetic injectables are formulated for different uses on various parts of the face. Some offer a natural muscle relaxation, easing the tension that causes creases or deep wrinkles. Others add plumpness to the tissues that look thin and crinkled, providing the illusion of youth and vitality.

Some of the types of injectables and brands that we offer at Adelaide Dental Spa include “Princess” dermal fillers, Dysport and injectable equivalents.

Planning Your Treatment

If you’re considering dermal fillers or injectables, the first step is to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists. From there we’ll discuss how much you need and where it ought to be applied on your face. After you’ve had some time to think it over, we’ll have you complete a few forms and schedule you for the application appointment.

To ensure your comfort, we’ll gently numb up the areas receiving the injectables prior to administering the medication. We want you to feel as relaxed as possible. Plan to feel a bit of numbness for a few hours after your application appointment.

FAQ

Is It Right for Me?

Having beautiful teeth is just one part of what makes up a beautiful smile. If you have deep creases like smile lines or frown lines that make you feel older than you really are, then dermal fillers or injectables might be exactly what you need. As we add smoothness to the skin around your mouth, help plumpen your lips and even address other facial fine lines and wrinkles, you can enjoy the benefits of more youthful looking skin.

Concerned About a Gummy Smile?

Do you have a “gummy” smile? When you laugh or pose for photos, do you see an excessive amount of gingiva (gum tissue)? Certain types of injectables can relax the tight muscle under your upper lip, which causes it to pull back so far when you smile. When relaxed, your lip naturally drops a bit, covering some of the gums you’re used to seeing when you smile or laugh. Results usually last between 3-6 months between applications.

How Long Do Injectables Last?

Everyone responds differently to injectables, but these products tend to last longer the more you use them. For a first-time application, it can take several weeks to see full results, with the outcome lasting up to six months or more. It’s easy to schedule a top off whenever you need one.

Combining injectables can help to extend the results even further. For people who get dermal fillers applied on a semi-routine basis, they may not need a topping off any less often than once per year.
