Botox

Do you want youthful skin without the expense of plastic surgery? If so, you may be a good candidate for Botox treatment. Botox is an injection of botulinum neurotoxin, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botox causes muscles to relax – temporarily. While the muscle is relaxed, this prevents wrinkles from forming on the skin. Getting regular injections of Botox can prevent some wrinkles from forming indefinitely, and that can make your skin look youthful again. 

If this interests you, your dentist in Fort Myers, FL, can help. We provide Botox injections to patients who want to reclaim that beautiful, youthful look – free of wrinkles. 

What Is Botox?

Botox is an injection that temporarily reduces wrinkles. Botox is frequently injected in parts of the face, like the forehead, around the mouth, and near the eyes. Botox can stop the appearance of crow’s feet and frown lines. Botox can also be used to treat problems like migraines, jaw pain, and TMJ.

Benefits of Botox

There are many benefits of Botox. 

• Relaxes muscles that cause wrinkles
• Effective against a variety of problems including TMJ and wrinkles on aging skin
• Long-lasting

• Fast recovery

Am I A Good Candidate?

You’re a good candidate for Botox if you have wrinkles that you would like to treat without turning to plastic surgery.
