Noticeable results, no surgery, and no recovery time – discover the benefits of Botox® at our practice.

What is Botox Cosmetic?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the first and only treatment FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines look better in adults. So you look like you, only with less noticeable facial lines. It's a quick treatment with minimal downtime.

How does Botox work?

Botox uses a special protein to block overactive nerve impulses, restricting muscle contractions. In doing so, Botox helps to relax the muscles beneath the skin, so that fine lines and wrinkles become less visible, giving the skin a healthy, more youthful appearance.

Depending on each individual case, the results can last between three and four months. Treatment is temporary, and once the Botox begins to wear off, the skin will return to the way it looked before treatment.

Am I a good candidate for Botox?

Botox may or may not be the right treatment for you. The best candidates for treatment with Botox are:

• Between the ages of 18 and 65
• Concerned with removing wrinkles and fine lines
• Looking for a non-surgical skin treatment
• Aware that Botox results are temporary
• In good physical and psychological health
• Willing to discuss their concerns and desires with their dentist before treatment

If you feel that you are a good candidate for a Botox treatment, and are interested in learning more, please contact our practice to schedule a consultation. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Who should not get Botox?

People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a neurological disease should not use Botox. Since Botox doesn't work for all wrinkles, you should consult with a doctor first.
