Although aging is natural, it’s nice to age with grace and style. Botox anti-age treatments can help delay the effects of the aging process so you can stay younger-looking longer. Botox can “soften” the appearance of your wrinkles and prevent new ones by freezing the muscles responsible for producing facial expressions that cause fine lines and wrinkles. You can come to Kenner Dental Group for Botox treatment if you live in Burien, Washington, or neighbouring cities. Dr. William Kenner and our team are happy to discuss the Botox procedure with you to see if it’s a good fit for you.
Before considering Botox injections, you should learn as much as possible about this treatment – how it works, what to expect, what the side effects are, etc. A consultation with Dr. Kenner and our team will provide the information you need. At this time, we’ll review your health history and evaluate your skin to determine if you’re a good candidate for Botox. We’ll also discuss your vision for this procedure so we can personalize a treatment plan to meet your needs.
These facts about Botox can help you decide if it’s right for you:
Botox anti-aging injections are safe and effective when administered by a medical or dental professional experienced in cosmetic filler procedures. With his background in head and neck anatomy and surgical training, Dr. Kenner fits that bill. Botox offers both cosmetic and health benefits. Health-wise, Botox injections have been used to relieve neck spasms, reduce sweating, treat lazy eye, and relieve migraine headaches.
Possible side effects of Botox include mild pain or bruising at the injection site, headaches, droopy eyelids, drooling, a crooked smile, watery eyes, dry eyes, infection at the injection site, and flu-like symptoms. These symptoms generally subside within a few days.
Botox needles are quite small, causing minimal if any, pain upon injection. When administered by a skilled professional, you will feel no pain or discomfort.
Botox injections are most effective at preventing fine lines in your forehead and wrinkles around your nose, eyes, and mouth, not removing them. They can, however, soften the wrinkles you already have to make them less noticeable. Botox works best on wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, such as crow’s feet from smiling and wrinkles between your brow from frowning. Your first injection may take a week or longer to produce results.
The anti-aging results of Botox last, on average, around three months before starting to wear off. You’ll require multiple sessions throughout the year to continue benefiting from this treatment. Most people schedule this treatment four times annually.
