Going to the dentist to get Botox may seem like a crazy idea. However, there are a number of valid reasons that make trusting your dentist for Botox a good idea. Your dentist can give you the safety assurance and ideal results you need when turning back the hands of time.
Botox delivers proven results for addressing the signs of facial aging, including wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet), the mouth (marionette lines and nasiolabial folds) and the forehead (glabella lines). Botox injections work by blocking the transmitter of the motor nerves that stimulate the targeted facial muscle. This inhibits these muscles from contracting and forming wrinkles in the skin, as it would while squinting, smiling, etc. After about three to ten days, the skin will appear smooth and wrinkles may be reduced or eliminated.
