About BOTOX
Are you distressed about lines and wrinkles on your forehead and around your eyes? Referred to as dynamic wrinkles, these skin concerns occur due to repeated expressions, including squinting, smiling, and frowning. At River Park Dental and Esthetics, we use BOTOX Cosmetic and XEOMIN® to diminish the appearance of moderate to severe Crow’s feet, forehead creases, and frown lines. BOTOX Cosmetic is a specialized type A strain of botulinum toxin. It works to temporarily relax the muscles that assist with those expressions, letting the overlying skin recover on its own. Dr. Phing Saurer is a skilled BOTOX injector with many years of experience creating refreshed results for Dublin, OH patients. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Saurer to learn more.
What to Expect with BOTOX
During your appointment at River Park Dental and Esthetics, Dr. Saurer will perform a skin analysis to determine which areas should receive treatment. The formula will be injected into the problem areas of your forehead or face using a small needle. The treatment itself takes around ten minutes to complete, and many patients notice only mild discomfort (like a pinprick or pinching sensation). You shouldn’t have downtime following BOTOX, but it’s normal to have minor swelling, bruising, and redness in the treatment sites, which shouldn’t be long-lasting. Within 48 – 72 hours, you should begin to experience your firmer, smoother skin. BOTOX and XEOMIN treatments offer up to four months of natural-looking, youthful improvements for the majority of people.
