As we get older, our skin starts to show skins of aging. It’s an inevitable part of life and can be quite the knock in confidence when you start to notice lines around your eyes and mouth. These wrinkles are a side- effect of your skin losing collagen and elastin, which are the components in the chemical make-up of your skin responsible for its volume and elasticity.
Did you know that our hygienist, Andy, can offer a range of facial aesthetic treatments that can help combat these wrinkles. Andy Hay has studied the complexities of the face, and can offer a range of treatments around the eye and forehead area, and also around the mouth and lips to re-plump and fill areas that have lost their volume, or would like an extra tough!

Why Visit Your Dental Practice for Facial Aesthetics?
Many people would assume that these types of treatments belong in a beautician’s studio and not a dental practice. Andy Hey is an expert in the facial anatomy, not just teeth and gums. He has high standards of care and has carried out extensive training in the field. It’s also a lot more reassuring to undergo these treatments at a practice that knows you well, and that you feel confident and comfortable to visit. We will always put you at ease and welcome you with a familiar face.
Facial Aesthetic Consultations
Everyone has a different skin type so we offer facial aesthetic consultations where we can talk through which treatments would deliver the best results for your skin. These consultations are ideal opportunities for us to come up with a treatment plan that will work best. To arrange a consultation, you can ask at reception, or mention it to your dentist or hygienist and as a team; we can all create a plan that will fit to your needs.
What Treatments Are Available?
Dermal Fillers
Using dermal fillers, we can replenish lost volume and smooth noticeable lines. Fillers work through stimulating cellular reproduction and giving skin a new lease of life. Andy uses the popular brand, Juvederm, which is a well-known and very popular product.
Anti-wrinkle injections
Known by the brand name, Botox, this treatment can target muscles under the skin and block nerve signals. Using Azzalure Botox, this treatment stops wrinkles that appear through muscle movement in the face. The effects of your treatment fade over time and need to be topped up. The treatments do last longer over time as you have it done more often.
Marine Dental are offering Aesthetics Evenings on the last Wednesday of every month. This will be a dedicated clinic in which Andy will be able to plan and carry out the exact treatments to fill your needs. Alternately, a consultation can be carried out during your hygienist appointment.
