Botox Injections
While it is inevitable that aging will occur, it doesn’t mean it has to be accepted! Fine lines, wrinkles, and even folds across the face can lead to an older appearance–and, for some, a look that makes them appear older than they really are! When the signs of aging begin to creep up, adult men and women often seek ways to regain their youthful look without plastic surgery. One way to smooth away these imperfections on the skin and improve overall skin tone and texture is with cosmetic injectables such as Botox. Botox injections are a reliable and lasting wrinkle treatment that can be done in conjunction with your regular dental visit to improve your facial appearance as well as the health of your teeth and gums!
What are Botox injections, and how do they work?
Botox is a medication also known as botulinum toxin type A. It is a diluted neurotoxin that can treat dynamic wrinkles and folds across the face when administered directly into the muscles. Botox blocks nerve signals to reduce muscle contractions, allowing fine lines and wrinkles to fade away and remain gone for several months before reinjection is needed to maintain the results.
What can Botox treat?
Botox has been used for many years in the medical field and has been known to help those with overactive bladder, excessive sweating, and even chronic headaches and migraines. When it comes to cosmetics, Botox can be used on the face to address:
- Smile lines.
- Forehead wrinkles and folds.
- Eyebrow lines and deep furrows.
- Glabellar lines.
- Crow’s feet around the eyes.
What are the benefits of Botox treatments?
When a skilled and experienced provider performs Botox injections, they can be administered safely and quickly during a single visit to Eagle Family Dental. Botox has several benefits that make it a popular option for our patients, including:
- Fast results.
- FDA-approval.
- Natural-looking treatment.
- Minimal side effects and complications.
- Comfortable treatment.
- No downtime/recovery.
What can I expect during my appointment?
First, our team will evaluate the signs of aging on the face to determine if you are a good candidate. Once this has been discussed, treatment can be done right in the dentist’s chair. Injections are made into the muscles of the face that create dynamic wrinkles. Over several days, the results are shown as these wrinkles and lines gradually lessen in depth and appearance. To keep the results, patients must make routine appointments for additional injections, as Botox will wear off within four to six months.
