When you look in the mirror, are you pleased by what you see, or do you get distracted by fine lines and wrinkles? While these signs of aging are nothing to be ashamed of — they are perfectly normal — it is okay if you wish you were not there! Our Danvers cosmetic dentistry team is eager to help you via minimally invasive BOTOX injections. Continue reading below to learn more, or contact us directly to set up a consultation.
BOTOX is the brand name of a diluted form of botulinum toxin. While the word “toxin” might seen intimidating, BOTOX is actually a good thing! When it is strategically injected into the facial muscles, it limits their movements. Therefore, the skin on top of those muscles appears much smoother and younger.
The results of BOTOX usually start to become obvious 5 – 10 days after treatment, and they can last for around 3 – 6 months.
BOTOX might be a good fit for you if:
Some of the most outstanding benefits of BOTOX include:
Yes, BOTOX in Danvers is generally considered to be very safe. In fact, during the first 14 years after BOTOX received FDA approval, only 36 adverse events were reported. In a lot of those cases, the problems were the result of underlying medical conditions and not the BOTOX itself.
Our team will thoroughly screen you for such medical conditions before providing your BOTOX. We always prioritize patient safety!
BOTOX is not permanent. The effects of BOTOX injections typically last between three and six months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated. Your body gradually absorbs the product, and muscle movement slowly returns, causing lines and wrinkles to reappear over time.
If you wish to maintain your results, you will need to schedule follow-up treatments. Consistent appointments will help you preserve the smooth and youthful appearance you desire. Our team can recommend the most appropriate schedule based on your unique needs and goals.
To enjoy your BOTOX results for as long as possible, you should take excellent care of your skin. Here are some tips that might help:
If you decide to discontinue BOTOX injections, you will gradually notice that the effects of the treatment fade over time. Your muscles will regain their usual activity, and the lines or wrinkles that BOTOX had minimized will slowly reappear. This change typically occurs within three to six months after your last injection, as your body metabolizes the remaining product. You will not experience sudden or dramatic changes; rather, your appearance will return to its natural state prior to your initial treatment.
Stopping BOTOX does not cause your wrinkles to worsen or accelerate the aging process. Your skin simply resumes its normal pattern of movement, which can lead to the gradual reformation of dynamic lines. If you choose to restart BOTOX in the future, you can expect similar benefits as before. Regular maintenance is the key to maintaining consistent results, but ending treatment poses no long-term risks or permanent alterations to your facial muscles or skin health.
