Botox at a dentist in Edenbridge
Whether you are noticing your first wrinkles start to appear or you are an old hand at getting botox in Edenbridge, we at Stangrove Court Dental, offer a safe and comfortable environment for you to treat not only your ageing concerns but other health-related worries you might have regarding bruxism and hyperhidrosis. Getting botox may be quick and easy but it is still considered a medication and should only be handled by healthcare professionals who have a thorough knowledge of the facial muscles and how they work and can administer this toxin in safe and healthy doses to avoid any unwanted complications.
Anti-Wrinkle injections
Anyone over the age of 30 might be inclined to notice a few new wrinkles here and there every now and again and most would like to turn back the clock just a little on these signs of ageing as many of us aren’t quite ready to get old just yet. This is easily done with botox in Edenbridge which can help erase fine lines and wrinkles for a fresher appearance.
Using a very fine needle, we will inject botox into key areas to soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles, these include; Frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines, laugh lines or crows feet on the corners of the eyes, and smokers line on the outside of the lips.
Hyperhidrosis
Severe or excessive sweating in the hands and armpits is an unfortunate condition that can affect both men and women causing a lack of confidence and a large amount of embarrassment. By injecting botox into the glands that stimulate sweating, we can drastically reduce the amount of sweat your body produces without any negative effects on your normal bodily functions to help you regain your confidence. After treatment, it can take about 10 days to notice the difference and depending on each individual can last 4-14 months.
Masseter Botox
Jaw clenching or bruxism (teeth grinding), is an unconscious effort performed by overactive jaw muscles and can cause pain in the jaw, headaches and will have a negative effect on your teeth like a breakdown of enamel and in acute cases, the loosening of teeth. An overdeveloped jaw muscle (or masseter muscle) may also make the facial contour look more square which is often undesirable. When botox in Edenbridge is injected into this area it helps relax those muscles to bring relief to people with this condition.
The procedure
This is a non-surgical and painless procedure that is minimally invasive when done correctly. All it takes is a few short minutes and you can go back to life as normal straight away. When taking care of those pesky lines and wrinkles you will notice a difference within 3-4 days of treatment and in the case of bruxism, about 5 days but it may relieve pain for up to 6 months at a time, so injections twice-yearly could save you a lot of discomfort in that area as well as help you avoid the cavities that severe tooth grinding causes.
