Why Botox?
As we age, it’s common to see wrinkles form in the forehead and between the eyebrows. Botox® can be used to help diminish and prevent wrinkles from forming in these areas.
There are other reasons that someone might choose to get Botox® – it’s not just used for treating wrinkles. Studies have shown that it can help with migraines, preventing muscle spasms in the neck and eyes, and treating TMJ disorders.
What Can I Expect after Getting Botox?
After your treatment, the staff will recommend you stay upright for four hours and avoid strenuous activities, and touching your face as this can increase the chances of infection. You’ll also want to be careful of rubbing the treated area, doing so might cause the injected Botox ® to move to other parts of your face.
After your treatment, it’s possible you may not notice a change right away. It typically takes 7-14 days to start seeing your results. The results should last for anywhere between 3 to 4 months, depending on the individual. It’s during that time frame that the area injected with Botox causes the muscles to not contract, and that’s what prevents wrinkles from forming, and if they already exist, from deepening.
How Do I Get Started?
The first step in finding out more about Botox is to make an appointment with our office. Dr. Samuelson will meet with you, and during your consultation will offer you an assessment and treatment plan. Our practice is always focused on your goals, and we work with you to get the most out of your treatment.
What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment that helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment involves injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin, a naturally occurring protein, into specific muscles of the face. This protein works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, thereby relaxing the muscles and smoothing out the overlying skin. The result is a rejuvenated, fresher appearance.
Is Botox safe?
Yes, when administered by a qualified professional like Dr. Bart Samuelson at Black Hills Area Dental, Botox is considered safe. It’s approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for cosmetic use and has been extensively studied for more than two decades. Side effects are typically minimal and temporary. However, as with any medical procedure, it’s important to discuss your health history and any potential risks or concerns with your doctor.
How long does a Botox treatment last?
The effects of Botox typically begin to show within a few days after the treatment, and the full results are usually visible within one to two weeks. These effects generally last between three to six months, depending on individual factors such as your skin type, the area treated, and the amount of Botox used. As muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. With regular treatments, the lines and wrinkles often appear less severe over time as the muscles are being trained to relax.
