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.
