Treatments like dermal fillers can be used to help improve your facial features and hide common signs of aging, including wrinkles and lips that lose their plumbness. But our team can provide these same results with a noninvasive solution, one free of injection. In today’s blog, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA, periodontist talks about laser fillers with Liplase and Smoothlase!
A Filler Alternative
With a traditional lip filler, an injection is used to fill and plumb areas of the lips or to hide lines around the nose and mouth, easing the common signs of aging. While effective, these require injections into the face and the results can only last a few months in some cases, requiring more injections down the line. But with laser dentistry, we can use the same technology that helps us treat chronic snoring and sleep apnea, and control gum disease, to help boost the beauty of your face!
The Liplase and Smoothlase Systems
With the Smoothlase system, we will use a dental laser to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the face, so you enjoy a more youthful appearance. We also have Liplase, a laser system that helps stimulate collagen production in your lips to boost elasticity and offer a younger appearance. This process only takes one visit to complete, and you rarely require any dental anesthesia either, as lasers are a precise and comfortable treatment option, and one that means we rarely need scalpels or sutures at all!
Other Helpful Benefits
The use of dental lasers means we do not need to offer injections at all to apply the filler material and not to provide anesthesia as the procedure is a comfortable one for our patients. The procedure only takes a few seconds, and can be done as needed in the months to come. This option is also long-lasting too, so your results can remain in place for several months. Since this stimulates the production of your own collagen to fight these common signs of aging, this is a more natural approach when compared to traditional Botox and dermal filler treatments.
If you also have periodontal disease, these lasers can help remove disease parts of the gums and reshape the gum line for a more attractive appearance. We can also help adjust soft tissues in the throat and mouth to prevent chronic snoring and to sleep apnea episodes.
