It’s one thing we all have in common……..we are all going to age. Yes, it is very depressing that we start to look less youthful, and our skin will become dull and lifeless but there is a way of perking yourself up. Here at Woodborough House, we have a fully qualified Dermatologist who treats patients who are interested in Dermal Fillers. We have a lot of people ask us “what is the difference between botox and fillers?”. Well, that can be explained simply. Botox is a toxin that paralyses the muscle. It basically stops a wrinkle or crease from forming. Dermal Fillers will simply fill the line or crease that is there. They will not paralyse the muscle.
Yesterday we had a visit from our Restylane representative. Restylane is the gel based Dermal Filler that Caroline uses. Its a great product, and you may have heard of it in the media, magazines, or makeover programmes. The word on the street is Gordon Ramsey has used it!
Now for the scientific part………. Restylane is made of Hyaluronic Acid. We all naturally produce Hyaluronic acid in our bodies. At a certain age, the body stops producing HA and thats what gives our skin the signs of ageing. By using Restylane Fillers, it can give the skin volume, and the youthful natural look it had before. Dermal Fillers will last for about 9-12 months so if you want to maintain the fresh faced look, a trip back to the Dermatologist will be needed.The product can be used in a number of areas: forehead, frown lines, lipstick bleed lines, cheek augmentation and jaw line. It is also used as a hydration product. It can help repair sun damaged skin, thinning of the skin and even ageing hands! The product is very safe when treated by qualified dermatologists, and has a safety track running over 14 years.
Of course, I look youthful enough not to have needed the treatment, but some of the girls are lining themselves up for a session (I know they won’t mind me telling you that)! If you are interested in Restylane products or would like to know more about Dermal Fillers then please ring our Team. They would be more than happy to provide you with information or litrature

Last night the team at WH hosted an event for our referring dentists as a way of thanking them for sending their patients to us for specific treatments. As we have it all under one roof, dentists from all over the county refer their patients to us. Whether they need to see Lama our Periodontist for gum treatment or surgery, Raquel our Endodontist for complex Root Canal treatment, Caroline for Botox and fillers, or Nick our Prosthodontist for Implants, surgery, crowns, veneers or dentures. We have it all under one roof!
We hosted a James Bond themed night at The Forbury Hotel in Reading, with Martini’s (shaken not stirred) on arrival, food, and the chance to watch a 007 film in their private cinema(popcorn included). It was a great chance to meet up with the dentists, and especially great to put names to faces. The night was great and I hope all enjoyed watching Daniel Craig do his 007 thing. I sure did! We will be holding regular events for our Ivory Club members throughout the year. We love to hear feedback, both positive and negative, regarding our events, and would love to hear any suggestions you may have for the next meeting. Nick and Sarah are also thinking of organising a “study club” for dentists, so i will keep you posted.
The team at Woodborough House would like to thank our colleagues for thinking of us when treating your patients, and thank you for attending our evening. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Wow! I never knew that having Botox was so quick! I have been nursing today with Mark, reviewing all his current Invisalign patients. But also, we saw a lovely lady who was having some Botox treatment. She was unhappy with her frown lines on her forehead and just wanted to look a little younger and healthier, so she decided that botox was the way forward. It was my first time seeing how the treatment is carried out (I usually miss out) and I really couldnt believe how quick the treatment can be carried out. Botox simply relaxes the muscles of the injected area, smoothing the skin in order to halt,and even reverse,the ageing process. Mark discussed with our patient, what she wanted to see from treatment, and from this, advised her where best to inject the Botox. I asked if it hurt, and she said “it was just like having your legs waxed”. I think I know what I might offer my mum for Mothers Day now…… she’s always frowning at me!
If you would like some information on Botox or would like to speak with Mark regarding the procedure, feel free to drop us an email or call the practice.

Coming soon to Woodborough House is our new dermatologist Caroline. Caroline will be offering botox cosmetic which works by refining your appearance with an injectable, purified botulinum toxin. When botox cosmetic is injected into the wrinkles, the toxin proceeds to relax the muscles of the injected area, smoothing the skin. We are also offering other dermalogical fillers including Restylane and Isolagen. For more information please get in touch or read about our demalogical procedures through our ”Treatments’ toolbar. At Woodborough House we keep you smiling………. AND keep you looking younger!
