Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results from Botox®?
You may start seeing results within 24-48 hours, with full effects becoming visible after 10-14 days. The use of Botox cosmetic treatment is effective for both dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet, which appear when you move your facial muscles, and certain lines, such as static wrinkles, that are visible when you smile or when your face is at rest. A cosmetic dentist can apply Botox® around the mouth to reduce lines in this area, enhancing your overall appearance.
Are Botox® injections painful?
Most people experience only minor discomfort during Botox® injections, often described as a brief stinging sensation.
How long do the effects of Botox® last?
The effects of Botox® typically last 3-6 months. As the treatment wears off, the treated muscles will gradually regain their ability to contract, and wrinkles around the mouth and other areas will reappear. This treatment might need to be repeated to maintain results.
Are there any side effects of Botox®?
Common side effects of Botox® include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. Rarely, Botox® may cause drooping eyelids, eyebrows, or lips, but this is usually temporary and can be corrected with additional injections.
Who should not get Botox®?
Botox® is not recommended for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have certain neurological conditions. Your provider will review your medical history to determine if using Botox® is safe for you.
What is Botox® used for?
Botox® Therapeutic, which has received FDA approval, is designed to relax the muscles in your face, thereby alleviating tension and associated pain. This non-invasive treatment can be beneficial for various conditions, including:
- Bruxism: Botox® Therapeutic can help reduce teeth grinding and jaw clenching, which often causes significant discomfort.
- TMJ disorders: By relaxing the muscles around your mouth and jaw, Botox® Therapeutic can ease pain, improve jaw movement, reduce locking of the jaws, and increase the range of mouth opening. It may also help with ear tinnitus and pain related to TMJ disorders.
- Migraines and Headaches: Botox® Therapeutic injections can help prevent and alleviate the severity of migraines and headaches by targeting specific facial muscles.
- Neck pain: Relaxing the neck muscles with Botox® Therapeutic can relieve chronic neck pain and stiffness.
- Trigger point pain: Botox® Therapeutic can be used to treat muscle pain that radiates to other areas of the body, known as trigger point pain.
If you’re looking to enhance your appearance and address concerns such as static wrinkles or dynamic wrinkles, a consultation with a qualified professional can help determine if Botox® is the right treatment for you.
