BOTOX® - Silver Spring

Turn Back the Clock!

Aging is a normal part of getting older. As we accumulate years of memories, it starts to show on the skin. This isn’t anything to be ashamed of, but many aren’t ready to accept this fate yet. In addition to using your facial muscles daily, other factors, like sun exposure, smoking, and genetics, can worsen the appearance of wrinkles. To revitalize the smooth, youthful appearance of your skin, we offer BOTOX®. Continue reading to learn more about BOTOX® and its benefits.

What Is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is made of the bacteria, “botulinum toxin,” in diluted form. This is injected into overworked muscles that have created lines and wrinkles to help them relax. This reduces the appearance of signs of aging. Optimal results usually take between five and ten days to show and last anywhere from three to six months.

Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?

Those who are pregnant, have neuromuscular disease, skin disorders, or deep facial scars are likely not good candidates for BOTOX®. This is why it is so crucial that you discuss your medical history with your dentist. Ideal candidates for BOTOX® are usually in their late 20s or older and are looking to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. BOTOX® can also address the following imperfections.

  • Crow’s feet
  • Muscle spasms
  • Lines between the eyebrows
  • Horizontal lines on the forehead
  • Smoker’s lines around the lips
  • Lines at the corners of the mouth
