Botox® and
Dermal Fillers

Combining Botox® and dermal fillers is beneficial because they treat different types of wrinkles. Botox® relaxes dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated facial movements like squinting and frowning; dermal fillers smooth out static wrinkles, which are visible even when the face is at rest.

HOW BOTOX® COSMETIC WORKS

A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.

Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look better.

“I had my previous dentist for over 25 years. They gave me a reason to look for other options, and I am glad I found Nordonia Dental Group. I am very happy here. Dr. Z is an outstanding dentist. Everyone else I've encountered there has been very nice. They have a nice facility and are moving to even a bigger and better facility down the street later this year. There's nothing not to like. I highly recommend checking them out if you are less than 100% satisfied with your current dental practice.”

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH TREATMENT

Some patients receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic report the injections feel like a pinch. You may begin to notice a visible smoothing of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in 30 days lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is not a permanent treatment. If you discontinue treatment the moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines will gradually return.
