Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers

If you are reading this, you are probably thinking to yourself why is a dentist offering anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers? We are probably one of the most suitable health professionals to offer this service and here is why…

We have extensive knowledge of the anatomy (structures) of the head and neck as that is the fundamental knowledge that underlies everything we do. Based on this we are well trained to deliver anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers safely and precisely.

Anti-wrinkle injections are generally sought after once your dynamic wrinkles become noticeable during laughing, smiling, etc. That works but there is more merit to using anti-wrinkle injections from before your wrinkles become visible as a preventative treatment. If your muscles are relaxed and not moving during the period the neurotoxin is active, then by regular repeat treatments when necessary, you can prevent the wrinkles from forming to begin with, therefor maintaining a younger and fresher look for longer. Anti-wrinkle injections will also go some way to minimising the appearance of static wrinkles.

What does Dr Obaid use for his anti-wrinkle injections? Dr Obaid uses a product called Xeomin, which is virtually identical to the Botox product. It’s manufactured as a very pure substance and therefor is less allergenic than most on the market and it is very effective, taking 24-72 hours for the results to be visible. Dr Obaid has been treating patients with anti-wrinkle injections for over 2 years now, with great success.

Dr Obaid does not charge per unit of neurotoxin but by how many areas of the face a patient wants treated. Prices for 1 area start at $249 for up to $500 for the traditional 3 areas (forehead, brow and crow’s feet). Please be aware that you cannot have the forehead treated without the brow area as this simple does not work and will not eliminate the visible wrinkles. Dr Obaid also uses neurotoxin to treat clenching.

Dermal fillers are a safe and effective solution to treat a variety of issues with facial appearance where applied correctly. Traditionally patients have had their lips enhanced, cheek lifts, etc. This treatment varies between patients and requires and consult to determine what can help a patient, understand their expectations and be able to quote them correctly. As a general guide, prices start at $600 for lip enhancement and go from there.
