What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is a brand of injection that contains diluted botulinum toxin, which can be injected directly into overworked and stressed muscles to help them relax and smooth out. It’s used in small doses on the face to reduce lines caused by frowning, smiling, and squinting, and the results can last between three and six months, depending on whether you’ve received the injections before.

Your cosmetic dentist in Mineola will speak with you about your goals and how many injections may be required to make those happen before moving forward with treatment. Each dose will only take a moment to administer, and the treatment as a whole can typically be completed in less than an hour.

Your cosmetic dentist at Meadowbrook Dental Care will explain what you can expect during your initial consultation.

Is BOTOX® Safe?

BOTOX is derived from a purified strain of botulinum toxin; therefore, it is safe for human use in small doses. It’s more common to experience side effects if the serum isn’t FDA-approved. Meadowbrook Dental Care only uses high-quality products for your safety. When administered by a qualified professional, there’s minimal risk of any complications. In fact, the USDA has only reported 36 adverse reactions in 14 years, many of which were caused by underlying health issues. Your cosmetic dentist will review your health history to ensure BOTOX® is the right solution for you.

Is BOTOX® Permanent?

BOTOX® isn’t permanent because your body breaks the protein down over time. However, you can enjoy long-lasting results with regular treatment sessions. Every case differs, but results last an average of 3-6 months. Your results are influenced by your age, metabolism, activity level, and environmental toxins. The temporary results of BOTOX® are safe and effective while allowing you to make modifications to your treatment plan as your needs and goals change.

Is BOTOX® Only for Women?

More than 500,000 men in America invest in BOTOX® every year. A youthful appearance is important in any profession to maintain a competitive edge. Not to mention, men want to look their best. Whether you want to boost your confidence or improve your career prospects, BOTOX® can target crow’s feet, frown lines, the forehead, and laugh lines. It’s a quick and easy solution to achieve the results you want with no downtime. You’ll see results in 5-7 days.

What Happens If I Stop BOTOX® Injections?

If you stop receiving treatment, your wrinkles will be visible again. It will occur gradually as your body breaks down the BOTOX®. The length of time it takes for your wrinkles to return will depend on how long you’ve been receiving injections. You can restart BOTOX® treatments at any time if you change your mind.
