Transform Your Looks With Botox Manchester

Whether you’ve undergone dental implants Manchester and are looking to further enhance your new younger look, or you’re fed up with your crow’s feet or frown lines, Manchester residents might want to talk to their about botox Manchester.

Similarly to teeth whitening, botox or wrinkle reduction is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures that practices offer and again, just like laser teeth whitening, results can be seen almost immediately. The combination of fast results and value-for-money prices is a winning formula for both patients and practices offering the service; but how does it work?

Botox is in effect a purified form of Clostridium Botulinum. Surprisingly this is the same toxin that can cause a life-threatening type of food poisoning, otherwise known as botulism. However in this form it poses no such risk. It works by blocking the nerves that contract the muscles, thus softening the appearance of fine facial lines and wrinkles. It’s particularly good at banishing dynamic wrinkles (those that appear when you make a facial expression) rather than the permanent deep set facial wrinkles that are ever present as we age. It’s also worth remembering that  isn’t permanent. Typically one course of treatment lasts for around 3-4 months as eventually the toxin that prevents the signals reaching the nerves, is eventually broken down by the body’s natural enzymes, and eliminated. For this reason treatments will need to be ongoing. A cosmetic Didsbury dentist will usually recommend that patients who have previously had botox treatments visit them for a progress report and check-up every 3 months.

So how is it administered?

Botox Manchester is administered using a very fine needle that’s injected directly into the area needing treatment. Often an anaesthetic cream is applied to the area 20 minutes beforehand to decrease the sensation of the injection and typically treatment time is just a few minutes. Most patients state that they feel little pain if any.

Used as part of a treatment package

Botox is more often used as a stand-alone treatment for those looking to soften or banish wrinkles however it can also be used as part of a treatment package to enhance other procedures. As an example patients who have undergone dental implants Manchester may notice an immediate difference in their youthful smile. However when they look in the mirror and still see slight or fine wrinkle lines around the mouth area which can spoil the whole overall look, then they might want to opt for a course of botox Manchester treatment as a solution.

Alternatively a patient may visit a Didsbury Dentist for a complete smile makeover. This is a series of bespoke cosmetic and restorative dental procedures designed to bring out the best in a smile. As a result a patient who has blemished or cracked teeth might choose porcelain veneers and to complement the finished look, the dentist might suggest a course of botox Manchester.
