What Is BOTOX?

BOTOX is the brand name of a diluted form of botulinum toxin. Although the word “toxin” might seem a little scary, BOTOX is nothing to be afraid of. When it is used correctly, it comes with very little risk of adverse side effects. Plus, it has proven itself to be a powerful anti-wrinkle treatment.

BOTOX works by temporarily limiting the movements of certain muscles. When those muscles are unable to move, the skin on top of them appears much smoother. Within just 5 – 10 days of a BOTOX appointment, you may find that your face looks significantly younger.

Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX?

BOTOX is popular among people in their late 20s or older who are looking to improve the appearance of issues like:

  • Crow’s feet
  • Lines between the eyebrows
  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Lines at the corners of the mouth
  • Lack of facial symmetry
  • And more

If you are unsure whether BOTOX is right for you, visit us for a consultation. We will screen you for any contraindications for BOTOX and let you know whether it can realistically help you achieve your desired results.

Some noteworthy benefits of BOTOX include:

  • The treatment is fast (an appointment usually lasts just 20 – 60 minutes).
  • The results can last for 3 – 6 months before another round of injections is needed.
  • Most people see results within a week or so of their appointment.
  • BOTOX has very few risks and side effects.
  • Compared to invasive plastic surgery, BOTOX is a cost-effective way to enhance your appearance.
  • The results can be very natural-looking — you will not look like you have “had some work done.”

Why See a Dentist for BOTOX?

On the surface, it might seem strange to visit a dentist for BOTOX. However, dentists are often very qualified to offer this treatment because they have an intimate knowledge of facial anatomy and aesthetics. They are detail-oriented individuals who know how the smile and nearby structures should work together to provide a pleasing appearance.

BOTOX FAQs

Is BOTOX Safe?

The fact that BOTOX contains a toxin causes some patients to have questions about its safety. The truth is that small doses of botulinum toxin are safe when they are properly administered. In fact, in the first 14 years after BOTOX was approved by the FDA, only 36 adverse events were reported. In quite a few of those cases, the bad reaction was related to a patient’s underlying medical conditions rather than the BOTOX itself.

To minimize your risk of BOTOX complications, only receive it from a qualified practitioner, and make sure you are honest with them about your medical history.

Is BOTOX Permanent?

BOTOX is not permanent. Over time, your body metabolizes the injections, breaking them down so they lose their effectiveness. Your age, activity level, and exposure to environmental toxins can all effect how long each set of injections lasts.

Most people experience the best results when they return for injections every 3 – 6 months.

How Can I Prolong My BOTOX Injections?

Here are some tips that might help you to prolong the results of your BOTOX injections:

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure. Sun damage instigates an inflammatory response that can cause BOTOX to break down more quickly.
  • Minimize high-intensity physical activity. High-intensity exercise can raise your metabolic rate and cause your BOTOX to break down more quickly. Low or moderate intensity training may be better.
  • A good skincare routine, including high-quality moisturizing products, can help your skin to stay plump and healthy. It may also slow down how your body metabolizes BOTOX.
  • Do not smoke. Smoking and vaping can make you look older and reduce the effectiveness of your BOTOX injections.
  • Take a zinc supplement. Some research suggests that taking a 50-milligram zinc supplement can prolong the results of BOTOX.

At What Age Can I Start BOTOX?

Legally speaking, you can get started with BOTOX at age 18. However, that usually is not necessary. Some patients choose to get preventive injections starting in their mid to late 20s, while many patients do not start injections until they are in their 30s or even their 40s.

Essentially, the right time to start BOTOX is up to you. Some people develop wrinkles and fine lines earlier than others due to factors like genetics, sun exposure, skin color, and more. If you are concerned about the appearance of your skin, visit us for a consultation, and we will give an honest opinion about whether BOTOX is right for you.
