Fine lines and wrinkles may result from aging, lifestyle choices, and habits like tobacco use or squinting. Fortunately, your dentist in Beachwood, OH, can significantly reduce their appearance with targeted BOTOX therapy.
BOTOX, in its medicinal form, has been used for decades to successfully treat migraines, bladder issues, teeth grinding, and more. It has also been used cosmetically for almost as long to reduce or eliminate fine lines and wrinkles in the face.
How BOTOX® Works
BOTOX works by relaxing the skin and muscles of the face. This allows the skin to lay over the muscles and facial structures, smoothing out the fine lines and wrinkles.
Treatment can dramatically reduce the following lines and wrinkles:
- Lines around the eyes (crow’s feet)
- Lines between the browns (angry 11 lines)
- Lines between the nose and mouth
- Forehead lines
How BOTOX Is Administered
Your dentist has you come in for a consultation and will talk to you about what to expect, your candidacy for treatment, and when you’ll need retreatment to maintain your results.
If you proceed with BOTOX therapy, your dentist uses a thin needle to gently deliver BOTOX beneath the skin. This feels like a quick sting as opposed to an injection! In other words, it’s not particularly painful.
However, you may have some bruising and minor swelling later that evening and for a few days after. An over-the-counter pain medication should be sufficient to alleviate any discomfort. Bruising does not last!
Immediately after treatment, you may see results. But BOTOX continues to improve fine lines and wrinkles for a week or longer.
