Botox Dentist Mason, Ohio
Botox™ is an FDA approved drug comprised of botulinum toxin A which temporarily blocks nerve impulses to injected muscles. As one ages, skin loses its elasticity and collagen weakens. This in conjunction with continuous muscle and skin contractions cause the formation of permanent creases of the skin. Botox™ helps to relax the contractions that cause these creases to form and create a relaxed, natural appearance. Botox™ treatment is best for people who are physically healthy, have no history of neuromuscular diseases, and are not pregnant or nursing. After an initial consultation to make sure your expectations are clear, we can perform the treatment here in the office in less than 10 minutes. We can coordinate follow up appointments and additional treatments with your dental cleanings so you can maintain your results without needing to make additional appointments.
FAQs
How does Botox work?
Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to specific muscles. This prevents the muscles from contracting, which helps to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. It also relaxes muscle tension in medical applications, such as treating migraines or jaw pain.
What areas of the face can be treated with Botox?
Botox is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), crow’s feet around the eyes, and bunny lines on the nose. It can also be used to soften the jawline, lift the brows, and correct a gummy smile.
Is Botox treatment painful?
Botox treatment involves small, quick injections and is generally well-tolerated. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch. Your provider may use numbing cream or ice to further enhance your comfort during the procedure.
