Ask the Surgeon

With regard to laser hair removal one must remember the ‘no pain, no gain’ motto since there is the level of discomfort one will endure during the procedure, though here at the Wentworth Clinic we utilize the Fotona laser system for laser hair removal in the UK as it is noted as one of the least painful laser systems currently on the market.  The procedure is faster than that of electrolysis since during that process each hair follicle receives an individual electrical charge to it, a painstaking and time consuming procedure.   Laser hair removal treatments generally take between 5-7 sessions to notice considerable hair growth reduction and should be scheduled approximately 5 – 6 weeks apart.  Hair will generally begin to fall out 10-14 days following each treatment.

The box genioplasty can be performed under general anaesthesia with nasal intubation and local anaesthesia with or without sedation. If performed under purely local anaesthetic the inferior dental lingual nerves are blocked with simultaneous buccal infiltration of 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:200,000 adrenaline.

At Wentworth Clinic we have a revolutionary concept in facial aesthetics towards surgical and non-surgical rejuvenating procedures. We combine all procedures under one roof to produce a fresher, plump looking skin without pigmentation and blotches and an un-operated look with only minimal downtime.

Skin is one of the most important structures of the body. Unfortunately it is affected by ageing, exposure to multiple environmental agents (particularly the sun), smoking and also the products we apply over the skin, such as make up.

Sixty percent of patients who look for facial rejuvenation are concerned about facial lines. Where are these facial lines? They are in the forehead, which could be frown lines, horizontal forehead lines or crow’s feet lines. They are also noticeable along the nasolabial furrows. Lines which are markedly noticeable along the mouth, called peri oral lines, are very common among smokers and those who have had a considerable amount of sun damage over the years.

The philosophy at the Wentworth Clinic is based on the concept of “Beauty is more than skin deep”. Aesthetics is a balanced product of healthy living and structured treatment bringing out the natural proportions…

The concept of upper facial rejuvenation should be akin to a gourmet dish. One should not be able to detect what went into the dish to produce such a delicious taste. This applies entirely to aesthetic correction where multiple procedures should be carried out so that the outcome should be pleasant, as if the patient had had a good holiday rather than that the patient had had some surgery.

we decided to open a blog aptly titled Ask the Surgeon” this will give members here and our patients to ask questions about cosmetic procedures, methods used, aftercare, pre-treatments, and talk about skin maintenance.

One of the more popular cosmetic dentistry services in our Bournemouth office is teeth whitening; we specialize in several teeth lightening methods.
