Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any potential side effects or risks associated with Botox injections?

Botox is generally considered safe, especially when administered by trained professionals. However, like any treatment, there can be potential side effects. These might include bruising, pain or swelling at the injection site, headache, or flu-like symptoms. It's crucial to communicate any side effects to your dentist.

How long does Botox last, and when will I see results?

Botox results generally start to appear within 3 to 5 days post-treatment, with full effects visible by two weeks. The benefits of a Botox treatment typically last between 3 to 6 months. However, the duration can vary based on the individual, the targeted area, and the condition being treated. Over time and with consistent treatments, the effects might last longer as the muscles become trained.
