Ageing is accompanied by the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face due to frowning and smiling.

Non-surgical cosmetic treatment with purified neurotoxin can reduce the signs of this ageing and smooth out wrinkles caused by movement. At The Briars, we use purified neurotoxin products that have been used extensively without any long-term problems and give the best results. These products work by temporarily blocking the release of a chemical at the nerve endings of a muscle and temporarily stopping them from contracting.

Wrinkle relaxing treatment can reduce or even eliminate frown lines, forehead lines, smile lines and crow’s feet lines. The process is quick and comfortable, with results seen after a few days. The treatment can be repeated after 3-4 months, although with regular treatments, the amount of product required can decrease, and the time between treatments can increase.

Side effects are minimal, and normal activities can be resumed straight away. A consultation is required to determine if this treatment may be suitable for you. These treatments can also be used in conjunction with a dermal filler to remove any remaining static lines present at rest.

FAQs

How do cosmetic fillers work?

Cosmetic fillers temporarily block the release of a chemical at the nerve endings of a muscle to stop it from contracting. The relaxation of this muscle lessens the tension of the muscle and ultimately reduces lines and wrinkles. If lines are present without movement, these are called static lines, and these may improve slightly with cosmetic fillers. However, they may also need additional treatment with a dermal filler.

To administer the treatment, the area to be treated is marked with the exact sites. The product is then injected using a Juvapen delivery device, which allows for an extremely precise dose administration. Patients also find this extremely comfortable.

Who is suitable for this treatment?

Cosmetic filler treatments are suitable for most adults with wrinkles that are caused by muscle movement, typically frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet, although there are some medical problems that prevent treatment.

Additionally, as this is a prescription-only treatment, a face-to-face consultation beforehand is mandatory.

It is not a suitable treatment for pregnant or breastfeeding women, and due to animal testing, most toxin products are not suitable for vegans.

Are cosmetic fillers safe?

Cosmetic fillers have been used for many years with high levels of patient satisfaction and safety. They are extensively tested and licensed for the treatment of the glabellar (frown) region. Other areas can be treated safely, albeit ‘off-licence’.

Side effects are unusual and, if they occur, minimal and temporary. Some patients experience a headache the first time they are treated. You can return to normal activities straight away but are advised not to rub the treated area or take exercise for the rest of the day to avoid any migration of the product.

Is there any downtime?

As with any cosmetic treatment, there may be some redness, which dissipates quickly, or bruising, which will usually disappear within a few days. Most patients can return to work straight after treatment.

Full aftercare instructions will be given to you as part of the consultation.

What does it cost?

Cosmetic filler treatment is priced by area, as each of the areas generally requires the same amount of product.

A 1-area face treatment costs £180 and is either the frown lines, the forehead or the crow’s feet.

A 2-area face treatment costs £230, and a 3-area face treatment is £280.

If additional areas are to be treated at the same time, or an area such as the neck may require more product, you will be advised of any additional cost at the consultation.

The treatment fees include a review and adjustment if needed within a 3-week period after the initial treatment.

Further information

Treatment usually takes 15 minutes. Local anaesthetic is not required. Results are usually effective for 3-4 months before re-treatment is required.

Testimonials

we love our patients

I recently visited Briars Dental Practice in Newbury and had a truly excellent experience. From the moment I walked in, the receptionist greeted me warmly and made me feel welcome. The hygienist who saw me prior to my appointment with the dentist was very thorough and gave me some great advice on how to keep my teeth healthy.I was then seen by Richard, one of the dentists at the practice, and I have to say that he and his nurse were fantastic. They put me at ease throughout the whole procedure, were extremely professional and caring, and made sure that I was comfortable at all times. I was also impressed by their attention to detail and their willingness to take the time to answer all of my questions.In fact, I was so pleased with my experience that I would also like to mention another dentist named Richard who saw me previously. He too was excellent, very thorough and professional, and I felt very well taken care of during my appointments with him.Overall, I can't recommend Briars Dental Practice highly enough. The staff are all so friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and they really go above and beyond to make sure that their patients are well looked after. If you're looking for a great dental practice in Newbury, look no further than Briars.

Thank you for a wonderful experience, I am a coward when it comes to the dentist, Mr Nick French, put me at ease, and has the patience of a Saint. I would also say the dental nurse was I lovely lady who let me crush her hand while I was having my injections. I give Briars Dental Centre 10 out of 10, and would not hesitate to recommend them.

I had a hygienist appointment with Jo and her nurse, Suzanne. It was the first time I’d tried GBT and found the experience much more comfortable than usual. Jo and Suzanne really put me at ease and made sure I was happy throughout the treatment. It was good being able to clearly see the areas which I needed to improve on brushing and Jo gave me great tips. Would highly recommend

After such a positive experience today with Richard I thought it only fair to delete my previous review. I am a very nervous patient and not ashamed to say I cried before my appointment. Richard and his lovely dental nurse were so understanding and treated me with kindness and empathy. Richard explained everything to me and allowed me to go at my pace. All options for my next appointment were explained to me and I now have trust in Richard that I feel I will not need full sedation. I was in alot of pain prior to my appointment today along with an enormous amount of anxiety. Richard even explained to me how to breathe when having treatment- no other dentist has ever explained that to me before!Thank you again Richard and to your lovely dental nurse.

I am very pleased with the treatment I received. After another dentist had told me the tooth had to be extracted, Mr Fady Khoury managed to save the tooth. The procedure was carried out in a very efficient and professional manner and I am very happy with the outcome.

Had an appointment with Chelsea today and it went very very well. Had my scans and photos done for Invisalign, which can be a bit awkward but she made it a comfortable experience. She was very friendly, welcoming, put me at ease and asked if I had any overall questions at that stage of the process. She was knowledgeable and explained everything I asked about. It's my first time at this clinic so I'm looking forward for my second appointment to discuss treatment. Great first impression from the moment I stepped through the door! Thanks!

A very happy customer! I had quite a lot of crooked and misaligned teeth so Victoria introduced me to Invisalign. She carefully created a program to give me the smile I wanted. In the end it took longer than we had expected but Victoria very diligently took me through every step of the process and she didn’t compromise on any part of the process to ensure I got the smile and teeth alignment we both wanted. A huge thank you to her and her assistant Jen who made every effort to make me feel comfortable throughout. Highly recommended.San

My visit to Richard last week went well. He identified that x rays hadn’t been taken for 3 years, and showed me the images, interpreting the results carefully and explaining the steps that may be required as treatment. I am disappointed that I will need to have another consultation to confirm if a root canal is needed. Warning: if you do need a consultation with the endodontist, you will need to pay in advance. I couldn’t do that on the day, but I will be booking in to have this followed up as soon as I can. I will need my own teeth for many more years!

Over the years I`ve found that the Briars delivers consistently high quality dental care and yesterday was no exception. I recieved first class root canal treatment by Dr. Richard Condon and team. Everything was explained carefully and despite my misconceptions was delivered pain free. I have no hesitation in recommending the Briars.

Had my Hygiene appointment yesterday with lovely Meryl and her nurse Kiera. Meryl was gentle and very thorough. She removed all the staining from my teeth and now they feel super clean. Kiera made sure that I was comfortable throughout the treatment.

I highly recommend Briars Dental Care, I can't thank them enough for my teeth, they really put me at ease especially Kody. My teeth have never been straight but over the years they got worse, and made me feel so ashamed and embarrassed by them, now I have nice straight teeth and my confidence back .

I can 100% recommend this dental practice as I have been with Briars Dental Centre for a few years now. From the reception staff to the Hygenist and Dentist I have had my confidence boosted in the biggest way. The reception girls are always very professional, helpful, friendly and always make time for a little chat. If it hadn’t been for one of the girls on the reception team I would not have known about the payment plan, which is proving to be well worth it, and gives me free Hygenist and Check-ups and a reduction of 10% on other treatments. Thank you girls for that. You are all fantastic and lovely. Keep doing what you’re doing.My previous Hygenist. Aimee, was absolutely the best and I had no fear going to her. Now I have a new girl, Meryl, and she is also blooming brilliant. Thank you.My dentist, Nicola Murdoch, deserves the most praise having built up my confidence in dentists again. She even adjusts treatments according to my own personal dilemmas, like claustrophobia. She’s just the best. Thank you so much Nicola.

I have just finished my Invisalign treatment with Dr Victoria Holden, I never imagined my teeth would look this good, they are beautiful and straight and I have a glorious smile. The aligners are stress free, comfortable, easy to wear and the scanning was simple. Victoria and Jen have been amazing from start to finish responded to any questions I had. I cannot thank them enough. I would recommend this treatment to any one of any age, it’s the best money I’ve ever spent.
