Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX)
At the Mabardi Dental Studio we can help you smile with smooth skin using Botox treatments. Botox is a manufactured injectable medication used to reduce the strength of the targeted muscle tissues. Most wrinkles or lines on the face are caused by the repetitive creasing and folding of skin by the underlying tissues. As we age, these muscles of facial expression become hyper-dynamic as a result of habit. Botox works by blocking the neurotransmitters that cause those muscle contractions, basically letting those muscles sleep. Botox can also help with orofacial pain from your jaw muscle or headaches. Botox does not come into effect immediately. It takes 2-10 days to exert its clinical effect and lasts about 3 months. It is common for retreatment between 3-6 months. At the Mabardi Dental Studio we want you to be happy with your natural and relaxed smooth skin ranging from your forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and lip lines.
