What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is the most commonly used term for botulinum toxin. Known for its ability to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, this diluted solution temporarily relaxes facial muscles, so they do not fully contract when smiling, frowning, or laughing.
One of our talented dentists will discuss your goals for treatment and determine which areas of your face need to be addressed. With a careful hand, these fast and effective injections will begin to smooth lines and reduce wrinkles so that you can enjoy the benefits of a youthful appearance.
Who is a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?
Determining whether you are a good candidate for BOTOX® requires that you meet with one of our dentists for a thorough consultation. We’ll evaluate your overall health history and discuss any current medications you might be taking, as these can play a role in the effectiveness of BOTOX® and your eligibility for treatment.
In most cases, if you are unhappy with any of the following, you may be considered a candidate for BOTOX®:
- Lines around the eyes (crow’s feet)
- Forehead wrinkles
- Lip lines (smoker’s lines)
- Vertical lines between eyebrows
- Lines that form at the corners of your mouth
You can expect us not to recommend BOTOX® if you are pregnant or have deep, sunken scars, as this method of treatment is unlikely to be effective in addressing these facial imperfections.
The Benefits of BOTOX®
BOTOX® remains one of the most popular facial aesthetic treatments on the market. Whether you’re looking to smooth fine lines, embrace a more supple appearance, or address various wrinkles, this injectable solution offers a safe, fast, and effective solution.
Patients who choose BOTOX® can expect to experience some of the following benefits:
- A non-surgical form of aesthetic treatment. There are no scalpels required, so there is no lengthy recovery.
- A cost-effective solution that is much cheaper than a full facelift. With a few injections and frequent touch-ups, you can save over time.
- Subtle yet beautiful results. Your face will look natural when treated by a licensed professional at Beverly Farms Dental. You won’t need to worry about a fake or “overdone” appearance.
- A quick treatment option that you can complete while on your lunch break. With sessions lasting only 20-30 minutes, you can return to work and enjoy beautiful results in about a week.
BOTOX® FAQs
How can I prolong my BOTOX® injections?
To keep your results lasting longer, you will need to make sure that you:
- Keep your skin moisturized. Use products that contain hyaluronic acid and collagen to promote healthy, supple, and youthful-looking skin.
- Try to avoid stress, as this can speed up the aging process and cause your BOTOX in Beverly to be less effective.
- Minimize how much time you spend out in the sun. Too much exposure can cause BOTOX to break down.
- Do not smoke or vape, as the nicotine can damage your skin cells and break down collagen.
- Be mindful of your workouts, especially those that are considered high intensity. This can shorten the lifespan of your results by increasing your metabolic rate.
Do I need a consultation before getting BOTOX®?
Yes, it is always necessary to consult your cosmetic dentist before receiving BOTOX. The reason is that this facial aesthetic treatment is not designed for everyone. As a prescribed medication, it can only be administered after discussing your overall health with a professional. You must also go over any medications you are currently taking. This will allow the dentist to compile the necessary information and determine whether BOTOX is right for you.
During this appointment, you’re also encouraged to express any concerns and ask questions about treatment and what to expect. We’ll look closely at your skin and how your facial muscles move before we go over any possible side effects.
Can BOTOX® damage my face?
Receiving BOTOX from a trusted professional is completely safe. However, it is essential that you do your research to find a cosmetic dentist in Beverly who can deliver the kind of results you want. Administering too much BOTOX over time can weaken the facial muscles, causing them to flatten and appear loose. This is why you should take your time to discuss the details of your treatment plan so that you can be certain that the low dose you receive does not pose a risk or cause serious harm. In general, when administered correctly, you should not need to worry about any life-threatening adverse effects.
Who should not get BOTOX®?
Although you may want BOTOX to improve your appearance, you must agree to meet with your cosmetic dentist for an initial consultation. This will determine if you are a good candidate for treatment. There is a good chance you will be cleared to move forward; however, if not, it is likely because of one of the following reasons:
- You are pregnant and/or breastfeeding
- You have a neuromuscular disorder (i.e., ALS)
- You have a respiratory condition that makes it hard to breathe (i.e., asthma, emphysema)
- You are taking blood thinners that can cause bruising
- You consumed alcohol or caffeine immediately before your appointment
