BOTOX is the most popular, non-surgical cosmetic treatment in North America.  It is most commonly used to reduce or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet near the eyes, lines on the upper lip and thick bands in the neck.  It temporarily blocks nerve impulses that activate muscle contractions and cause wrinkles.  This gives the skin a smooth, relaxed, and refreshed appearance.

This treatment offers a number of advantages for women and men seeking wrinkle reduction. It’s a trusted therapeutic choice used by millions for true anti-aging results.  It has been used safely and successfully for wrinkle therapy for over 21 years.  Botox is a purified protein which is safely metabolised by the body.  There is no permanent side effect known with BOTOX therapy for facial wrinkles.  There is no downtime with this procedure.  The appointments are short, and you are fine to carry on with your day as normal, no one will be able to tell you had it done.  It allows for natural movement of the face.  Results last 3-4 months and even longer with repeated use.

Botox has therapeutic uses and is not just a cosmetic agent.  If you clenching and grinding excessively Botox can impair your ability to perform these habits, saving your teeth and relaxing you tense facial muscles.  People who suffer from headaches are getting relief with Botox, the occurrence and severity of their headaches significantly diminishes.  People who suffer from Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) can use Botox to inhibit sweat glands secretions and successfully control their Hyperhydrosis.

Why are dentists doing Botox?  Dentists have extensive knowledge of the anatomy of the head and neck, as it is the area they work on daily.  Dentists are skilled at injections as they routinely give injections in sensitive areas.  Dentists study facial shape and proportions to achieve the best possible results when doing cosmetic dentistry, a skill which directly applies to the application of cosmetic Botox.   A Dental office is a discrete location to have your cosmetic work done.  For more information or to find out if Botox can work for you, contact your Aarm Dentist Group Location for a Complimentary Cosmetic Consult.
