Maintaining a good appearance is more than just good grooming. It takes attention to your dental health, as well as efforts to maintain your facial skin to reduce the signs of aging. Botox is an injectable compound that immobilizes facial muscles and causes lines and creases that make you look older. You can receive Botox injections conveniently at Shores Dental Center’s office in Augusta, GA.
Understanding How Botox Works
Botox is made from a toxin called botulinum that is purified to meet medical control standards. The toxin blocks the signals that cause muscles in the face to contract. The constant motion of the muscles is what causes the lines and creases in the facial skin. Botox prevents the muscles from contracting, so you have a smoother, younger appearance.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Botox Treatment?
If you are in good general health and have moderate to severe facial lines in areas of the face that can be treated by Botox, your doctor may determine you are a good candidate to receive the injection. The doctor will also talk to you about your expectations for the results from the injections.
What Happens During a Botox Treatment?
The skin is carefully cleansed and a numbing agent is used to reduce discomfort. You may feel a slight pinching sensation during the injection. After a treatment, you should avoid vigorous activity for a few hours. You can continue your usual activities throughout the day.
