BOTOX^® Cosmetic

Dr. Irving received her training through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics and is board certified in administering Botox. Why pick a dentist? Dentists have a specific advantage of a medical education focused on the aesthetics and mechanics of the face.

BOTOX^® treatment is a revolutionary approach to reversing the affects of facial wrinkles. Crow’s feet, worry lines and laugh lines can all be a thing of the past. These are referred to as dynamic wrinkle lines and all are treatable with this procedure. Cosmetic denervation is the process of injecting botox into the tiny facial muscles that create the wrinkles.

The BOTOX^® Procedure

BOTOX^® injections are performed without anesthesia because it is virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and may need to be repeated three to four times per year to retain the effects. Research has suggested, however, that long term use of the injections leads to a longer duration of each treatment’s effect. Patients over the age of 65 may not experience as dramatic of results. Botox is only useful in treating expression lines and cannot be used to repair sagging skin caused by aging.
