BOTOX FAQ:

 

Q: What is Botox? Is there bacteria in it?     TOP

A: Botox is purified protein. There are no live bacteria involved.

 

Q: How does Botox work?     TOP

A: Botox blocks the signal to the muscles that contract with certain facial

     expressions.

 

Q: How long does treatment take?     TOP

A: Botox treatment is usually completed in about 30 minutes. Often this can be quicker

     if combined with other dental care in the same appointment.

 

Q: Does it hurt?     TOP

A: You will receive several tiny injections and discomfort is very minimal.

 

Q: How much Botox will you need to treat my wrinkles?     TOP

A: Botox is measured in units and amount needed depends upon severity of the

    patient’s wrinkles.

 

Q: Will my face be numb?     TOP

A: No. Some patients experience a non-painful sensation similar to skin feeling “dry,”

    which lasts a few hours.

 

Q: What possible side-effects should I know about?     TOP

A: Possible side effects: nausea (flu like symptoms), eyelid droop or headache. These

    possible side effects are minimized by proper technique.

 

Q: What are the long-term effects?     TOP

A: Your body will eventually re-route that signal and return to normal function. If you

    stop using Botox, you will go back to the way you looked before with no accumulative

    side effects at all.

 

Q: What should I expect?     TOP

A: After treatment, facial muscle activity is decreased not paralyzed. Muscles are

    actually relaxed, and Botox can make you look refreshed, relaxed and less angry.

    Properly administered, Botox makes you look healthier. It takes 3-7 days to see initial

    effect and about 10-14 days for the full effect. We have all our patients back in two

    weeks to be sure they look and feel great. Slight enhancements can be done at that

    time if needed.

 

Q: Do I need to change my lifestyle?     TOP

A: Maybe temporarily: You should avoid alcohol, exercise and sun exposure for 24

     hours after treatment. You should also avoid any "detoxification” treatments for two

     weeks.

 

Q: How long does Botox treatment last?     TOP

A: Typical Botox treatment lasts about 4 months. For many patients duration may

     increase slightly with consistent sequential treatments.

 

 

 

 

JUVEDERM, RESTYLANE & PERLANE:

 

Q: What is Juvederm?     TOP

A: Hyaluronic acid (HA): HA exists naturally in all living organisms and is found mainly

    in the skin. Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane are forms of HA; and are used as

    temporary dermal fillers.

 

Q: How does Juvederm/HA work?     TOP

A: HA fillers restore lost volume to the facial tissues setting the clock back by filling up

    wrinkles. HA treatments are curative and preventative.

 

Q: How much HA will you need to treat my wrinkles?     TOP

A: HA comes in syringes and number needed depends upon severity of the patient’s

    wrinkles.

 

Q: What possible side-effects should I know about?     TOP

Q: What are the long-term effects?     TOP

Q: Can everyone have HA treatment?     TOP

A: Some patients with certain cosmetic procedures or multiple severe allergies may not be good candidates for HA treatment.

 

Q: How long does treatment take?     TOP

A: After an initial consultation, Juvederm treatment is usually completed in about 60

    minutes. Often this can be quicker if combined with other dental care in the same

    appointment.

 

Q: Does it hurt?     TOP

A: We keep our Juvederm patients comfortable with local anesthetic making the

    discomfort minimal.

 

Q: What should I expect?     TOP

A: Treatment with Juvederm or other dermal fillers can smooth wrinkles that are caused

     by the loss of volume that accompanies aging. You will notice a more full

     appearance in treated areas. Effects of dermal filler treatment are evident   

     immediately. Contours are improved as the filler is added; the more subtle lines in

     the skin diminish over time as volume is maintained in the tissue. We have all our

     patients back in two weeks to be sure they look and feel great. Slight enhancements

     can be done at that time if needed.

 

Q: Do I need to change my lifestyle?     TOP

A: Maybe temporarily: You should avoid exercise, alcohol, other facial dermal

    procedures and excessive sun for the first 24-48 hours. You should also avoid any

    “detoxification” treatments for two weeks.

 

Q: How long does Juvederm treatment last?     TOP

     maintain results.
