Why Choose Us for Botox & Dysport?
There are several reasons why dentists offer these treatments. One key benefit is our years of medical training and in-depth knowledge of the musculoskeletal structure of the face. Dr. Presswood may incorporate digital diagnostics, which are a normal part of your dental care, to ensure a safe and effective result. She has also completed advanced training specifically for injectables like Botox and Dysport. Another key benefit of receiving Botox at the dentist is the option for using a local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
Dr. Presswood offer patients the advantage of her dental care knowledge and experience. She has also credentialed in the use of Comfortox needles, the smallest needles and syringes available. Combined with the use of a topcial or local anesthetic, Comfortox needles are designed to offer a “comfortable” experience for patients.
Patients can receive touch up treatments at regular dental care visits which are typically scheduled every six months. This added convenience factor is another benefit to combining facial esthetic and dental care treatments in our office.
What Can Botox & Dysport treat?
Botox and Dysport are both injectable neurotoxins that target muscles under the skin. They work by relaxing the targeted muscles, which allows the skin to appear smoother. Dr. Presswood will strategically place injections to maximize your results. Botox and Dysport can be used to treat:
- Brow lines or “11s” between the brows
- Fine lines around the eyes, nose, mouth, or chin areas
- Crows feet
- Forehead wrinkles and lines
Dr. Presswood can perform the Botox “lip flip” treatment for patients desiring more fullness in the lips. She will place several injections into lip muscle, relaxing them and allowing the lip to “flip” upward.
What is the Difference Between Botox and Dysport?
While similar products, Botox and Dysport can offer patients slight differences in results. Dr. Presswood will discuss your needs and make the appropriate recommendation. In general, results from Dysport may be noticeable sooner, but Botox can last a bit longer for most patients.
