Botox, Dysport, Dermal Fillers and Microneedling
A great smile makes you beautiful at any age. That said, there’s more to a great smile than good teeth.
We smile with our eyes. The corners of our mouths. Our cheeks, our lips, our brows – just about all the skin and muscle in our faces.
But as we age, our faces change. Our skin loses volume and elasticity, beginning to crease and sag, and altering the appearance of our features.
We’re excited to be able to offer you the opportunity to restore and rejuvenate your face with treatments based on the latest scientific research.
As a dual-qualified dentist and appearance medicine/skin enhancement provider, Renate has deep knowledge of facial anatomy. She’s uniquely placed to understand the form and function of all the areas of the face that contribute to a beautiful smile – including time spent training in Brazil, the heart of appearance medicine!

FAQ

It may sting a bit. Fortunately, as a trained dentist, our appearance medicine professional Renate is also highly skilled in pain reduction!
-
Not unless you want to! It’s important that you achieve the look and feel you want, and most people favour a more natural appearance that allows your face to move and convey your unique personality and emotions. Generally, we want our treatments to feel invisible to you, and look invisible (but beautiful) to everyone else.
-
While all three treatments are used to treat the signs of ageing, fillers are quite different from Botox and Dysport. Botox and Dysport temporarily block nerve signals in the muscles, so when they’re injected into facial lines they prevent movement in that area. As a result, they’re best suited to treating ‘expression lines’ – lines that appear when you move your face, as opposed to lines that are permanently present. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used to plump up the skin and have a huge number of diverse uses.
-
Botox, Dysport and dermal fillers have been researched extensively and shown to be very safe for most people. However, there are some exceptions. We advise against treatment if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any sort of muscle weakness disorder.

Fast, affordable and natural
Botox and Dysport
Used to soften fine lines and wrinkles for a firmer, fresher look, Botox and Dysport are amongst the most well-known injectable cosmetic treatments in the world. They’re a fast, affordable and non-invasive way to both prevent and treat wrinkles, made with natural proteins.
How do Botox and Dysport work?
Botox and Dysport temporarily block nerve ending signals that cause muscles to contract, resulting in less facial movement in small areas of the face. This means the skin and muscles around facial lines stays still, and the creases are less visible.
Treatment areas
Botox and Dysport can also be used to lift the corners of your mouth, produce a more clearly defined jawline, and smooth your chin, amongst other uses. In addition, treatments can be used to prevent the formation of wrinkles.

Effective, rejuvenating and natural
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers offer the most effective solution for rejuvenating skin short of having surgery. Made with a natural carbohydrate already present in skin, dermal fillers give your face a glowing, hydrated look – as well as stronger structure and greater smoothness.
Dermal fillers are most effective when combined with anti-wrinkle injections – such as Botox and Dysport.
How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers are a soft gel, made up of a type of carbohydrate that’s naturally present in skin. When injected into the skin, this gel can be used to non-surgically shape the overall appearance of the face – for example, creating fuller lips or cheeks – while revitalising the skin and smoothing fine lines. It’s important to work with a professional in facial structure when using dermal fillers – and as a dual-qualified dentist, our appearance medicine professional Renate draws on knowledge gained across both fields.
Treatment areas
An incredibly versatile treatment, dermal fillers can rejuvenate almost any area of the face.
They’re perhaps best-known for producing fuller, plumper lips, but dermal fillers have a wide variety of uses – for example, reducing fine lines in the following areas:
Dermal fillers can also add fullness to the temple, reduce dark circles under the eyes, or create more voluminous cheeks. They can be used to produce a softer jawline, giving the face a more oval, feminine appearance, or define the cheekbones.

Revitalising, quick and natural
Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates the growth of collagen and elastin – compounds that make skin look younger and fresher.
We naturally lose collagen and elastin as we age, making us more prone to developing wrinkles, loose skin, and fine lines. However, skin produces fresh collagen whenever it’s damaged, and microneedling harnesses this natural process to give you smoother, healthier-looking skin by producing tiny, invisible micro-injuries.
How does microneedling work?
Our microneedling process uses a device called a Dermapen. When moved over the area you want to treat, the Dermapen pricks the skin repeatedly with 12 tiny needles, creating minute tears in the epidermis (outer layer of skin) and dermis (inner layer of skin). These ‘micro-injuries’ are so small they're invisible, but they stimulate collagen production – reducing the appearance of imperfections and leaving you with a brighter, smoother complexion.
Treatment areas
Most people use microneedling to treat the skin on their face, especially if they’re suffering from skin imperfections like acne scarring, dilated pores and wrinkles. It’s suitable for most skin types and tones.

FAQs
-
Our microneedling professional, Renate, knows how to get the best results from all skin types regardless of tone, texture, and sensitivity level. When carried out by an experienced medical professional (like Renate), the chances of your skin pigmentation changing as a result of microneedling are small.
-
Your unique skin type, colour, and condition will determine how many microneedling treatments you’ll need – but typically between three and six, with 4-6 weeks between treatments. For the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, one or two maintenance treatments are then recommended each year.
-
Microneedling can hurt a little, as it works by creating many tiny tears in the skin. Most people report that it feels a bit like sunburn. If you have any concerns about pain, rest assured – as a trained dentist, our appearance medicine professional Renate has plenty of experience in pain reduction!
-
There can be some temporary inflammation immediately after the procedure, but it generally reduces greatly within a few hours.
