What is Botox?
Botox is a well-known term for botulinum toxin, which is derived from the
bacteria Clostridium botulinum. In its diluted form, it can be injected into
facial muscles that contract to form fine lines and wrinkles. Once in place,
Botox works to help relax these muscles and prevent the formation of
additional lines that can cause the look of aging.
Patients who receive Botox can expect to see results between 5-10 days after treatment, and results are known to last 3-6 months.
Who is a Good Candidate for Botox?
Botox is an ideal solution for anyone looking to enhance their appearance
and minimize lines left behind by years of laughing, smiling, frowning,
anger, and even moments of surprise and excitement. Individuals who are in
their late 20s or older typically receive the best results, especially when
looking to treat the following areas:
- Crow’s feet
- Lines between the eyebrows
- Lines at the corner of the mouth
- Smoker’s lines around the lips
- Horizontal lines on the forehead
- Muscle spasms
The Benefits of Botox
When choosing the right method of treatment to improve facial aesthetics,
your cosmetic dentist in Tallahassee will likely discuss the various
benefits that come with Botox, some of which include:
- Fast and effective treatment (also known as a lunchtime facelift) that only takes between 20 minutes and one hour to complete
- Subtle effects that don’t leave others pointing and gossiping that “you had work done”
- A non-surgical form of treatment that doesn’t require a lengthy recovery, unlike a facelift or other facial surgeries
- Results that can last between 3 and 6 months
- Cost-effective treatment
Why See a Dentist for Botox?
For years, dentists have devoted their time and efforts to study the face
and its various components. Much of the restorative, preventive, and
emergency treatments administered in the dentist’s office require
knowing how to maneuver the muscles, nerves, and joints of a person’s
facial structure. Also, dentists regularly administer local anesthesia,
which requires a steady hand. Their expertise in knowing how muscles
interact makes them an excellent choice when it comes to receiving Botox.
Not to mention, there is an added convenience of seeing a dentist for this type of treatment simply because you can receive a general checkup and cleaning as well as Botox all under one roof. Dr. Walther has a clinical interest in administering Botox and is specially trained to provide this type of treatment in-house.
BOTOX FAQs
BOTOX in Tallahassee is a popular treatment to reverse the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Although you probably wouldn’t expect a dentist to offer cosmetic injections, Boyd & Walther Tallahassee Dental Associates are qualified to provide BOTOX. Don’t worry if you have a few concerns. Your BOTOX specialist will explain everything during your consultation. You can also contact our office to speak with a member of our dental team or review the most frequently asked questions below.
Is BOTOX Safe?
When administered by a trained professional, BOTOX is safe for more patients. It is made from a purified strain of the botulinum toxin that has few risks of complications. Although it is safe, it’s not right for everyone, which is why your dentist will learn more about your medical history. Adverse reactions are rare, but complications can occur from serums that don’t meet FDA standards or an unqualified person providing the injections. Only 36 adverse reactions had been reported in more than a decade. Often, reactions are caused by an underlying health problem and not BOTOX itself.
Is BOTOX Permanent?
Unfortunately, BOTOX isn’t permanent, but it can provide long-lasting improvement. BOTOX can last 3-6 months because your body will eliminate it over time. You can maintain lasting results by visiting your cosmetic dentist in Tallahassee for regular injections.
Can BOTOX Be Used in Dentistry?
BOTOX offers more than aesthetic benefits. It is approved by the FDA for many health issues, like bruxism. BOTOX can temporarily paralyze jaw muscles to treat teeth grinding and TMJ disorders. It can also benefit some neurological disorders that cause jaw movements and during dental implant surgery.
Does BOTOX Remove Wrinkles?
BOTOX isn’t a permanent fix for wrinkles. The injections can temporarily paralyze specific muscles by blocking nerve signals. As a result, it is recommended for patients with smooth dynamic wrinkles. When used to treat wrinkles caused by facial movements, their appearance can diminish for several months.
Why is BOTOX So Popular?
BOTOX is sought for its cosmetic and dental benefits because it’s affordable and minimally invasive. Whether you want to treat wrinkles, jaw pain, or teeth grinding, you won’t have to worry about needing surgery. There’s no downtime and few risks of complications. You can see an improvement in just 24-72 hours without scalpels or sutures.
