What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is derived from a controlled formula of botulinum toxin —a solution that has been utilized medically for many decades for addressing muscle pain and spasms. Whenever injected into the painful or spasming muscles, BOTOX® can help minimize the unconscious movements that typically result in serious pain and disrupt muscle recovery. Additionally, when used for esthetic purposes, this solution can help prevent muscle movements that are responsible for the development of wrinkles and fine lines.

Who is a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?

Patients may not be eligible for BOTOX® if they are pregnant or have issues like skin disorders, a neuromuscular disease, or deep facial scarring. That’s why you’ll want to visit your cosmetic dentist for an initial consultation so they can determine if you’re a good candidate for this treatment. That said, most of those who are eligible are in their late 20s and older and want to address facial flaws such as:

  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Crow’s feet
  • Smoker’s lines
  • Lines between their eyebrows
  • Lines at the corner of their mouth
  • Muscle spasms

The Benefits of BOTOX®

BOTOX® treatment is incredibly valuable and there are a wide range of reasons a person may wish to receive this service. Some of the most common benefits to enjoy from this solution include:

  • Fast Process : BOTOX® is sometimes called a “lunchtime facelift” due to how quickly you can undergo the treatment—which can be completed in as little as 20 minutes. Afterward, you’ll notice results in about three to five days.
  • Cost-Effective Care : BOTOX® doesn’t come with an extreme upfront cost like other services, and you’ll be able to enjoy an improved appearance all the same.
  • Non-Surgical Treatment : BOTOX® doesn’t involve scalpels to enhance your facial features, and you shouldn’t expect a lengthy recovery.
  • Subtle & Lasting Results : Contrary to popular belief, you won’t need to worry about BOTOX® results appearing obvious. The results should be subtle and can last three to six months before needing touchups.

BOTOX® FAQs

Is BOTOX Safe?

BOTOX in Waverly is a safe and non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures, like a facelift. It is made from a purified strain of the botulinum toxin. The FDA has approved its use for various cosmetic and medical purposes. The risk of complications is minimal when choosing a trusted manufacturer and qualified professional for your injections. Only 36 adverse reactions have been reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 14 years. Most complications were caused by underlying health issues and not to BOTOX. However, your dentist will learn more about your health history during your consultation to ensure it is right for you. Most patients with good health are candidates for BOTOX. Some skin, neurological, and other medical issues may prevent you from benefiting from BOTOX.

Is BOTOX Permanent?

BOTOX is not permanent, but it can offer long-lasting results. Generally, you can see an improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines for 3 to 6 months before your body begins to naturally eliminate it. Your cosmetic dentist in Waverly can create a regular maintenance plan to preserve your results. If you do not continue with your treatment plan, your wrinkles will gradually return.

Does BOTOX Remove Wrinkles?

BOTOX does not remove wrinkles, but it does dramatically reduce their appearance. It is recommended for wrinkles and lines caused by facial movements. When injected into specific muscles, it causes temporary paralysis to prevent the muscles from contracting, creating a younger facial appearance. You don't have to worry about your face looking frozen when choosing a qualified professional for your injections. You'll enjoy subtle, but noticeable results that look natural.

Will Stopping BOTOX Make My Wrinkles Worse?

BOTOX will not make your wrinkles any worse than they were before beginning treatment. However, you may have forgotten what they looked like, so as they reappear, they may seem worse than they were. Don't fret, you can stop or restart BOTOX injections at any time. It's a great option for patients who may not want to commit to a surgical procedure or permanent treatments.
