Top 4 Benefits of BOTOX Treatments
BOTOX® treatments are safe, well-tested injections that can help improve your facial appearance while relieving several health conditions. Our doctors underwent extensive training to administer BOTOX® treatments in the office, providing you with a convenient way to take advantage of their benefits.
Following are the top 4 benefits of BOTOX® and how the treatment can help you look and feel your best:
1. Provides a Natural, More Youthful Appearance
The top benefit of BOTOX® is that it can reduce the outward appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. BOTOX® relaxes tense muscles under the skin and stops the cycle that causes dynamic wrinkles due to repeated facial movement.
BOTOX® works best on crow's feet and forehead lines. For other types of wrinkles, we also offer treatment with dermal fillers.
2. Fast and Simple Process
BOTOX® treatment takes only minutes. The doctor uses a tiny needle to inject small amounts of the toxin into the treatment area. You will feel only minor discomfort and experience very little bleeding. You can return immediately to your normal activities with no downtime.
3. Highly Convenient
Since we offer BOTOX® in our dental office, you can easily combine oral health treatment with injectables or dermal fillers. You will not need to make separate appointments with a specialist, saving you time and money.
4. Helps with Certain Health Conditions
BOTOX® not only helps with aesthetic issues like lines and wrinkles but also treats health conditions like chronic migraine and TMJ syndrome. Facial, neck, and jaw pain all respond well to BOTOX®. The treatment relaxes tense muscle tissue and helps to relieve painful symptoms.
How BOTOX® Works
Scientists created BOTOX® by studying the properties of botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin relaxes or paralyzes muscle tissue by blocking chemical nerve signals. The treatment relaxes muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles like forehead lines and crow's feet.
