What does the treatment involve?
During a Botox treatment, the dental surgeon will use a fine needle to inject a small amount of Botulinum Toxin into different parts of your face to achieve your desired result. The injection causes little or no discomfort because the dental professional will administer a numbing agent or local anaesthetics.
Botox treatment requires no downtime, so you can resume your normal activities after the procedure. However, you may experience slight bruising at the injection site, so it’s best to avoid strenuous activities and wearing make-up within the first few hours after the treatment.
How does Botox work?
Botulinum Toxin (Botox) blocks nerve impulses to facial muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. It also relaxes the facial muscles, so they don’t contract. After injecting Botox, the untreated facial muscles will contract, giving a better facial expression.
Are Botox treatments safe?
Botulinum Toxin injections are a common cosmetic treatment, and they have been available for several years to reverse visible ageing signs and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. It’s suitable for treating both cosmetic and non-cosmetic problems.
