Botox Dublin is a highly popular non-surgical FDA approved treatment procedure which is available for you at Dublin 18 Dental Rooms. You may have heard about celebrities having Botox, however did you know that for many years now it has been available more readily and safely at dental practices all over the country?

What is Botox?

Botox Dublin or botulinum toxin type A is a drug which is derived from the bacteria known as clostridium botulinum and is used in the form of an injection in small, safe doses for different medical purposes. Here at Dublin 18 Dental Rooms we use Botox Dublin injections to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes and forehead to create a younger and more youthful appearance of the face. This is because over time your skin loses its elasticity, and becomes thinner and less hydrated, therefore it is more prone to damage. This leads to the formation of wrinkles in areas of your face where the skin folds during facial expressions such as smiling and frowning. Many other factors such as smoking, drinking, genetic factors, exposure to the sun over a long period of time and exposure to UV light, (for example sunbeds and tanning booths), also result in wrinkles. As you get older these wrinkles which begin as fine lines become deeper and more prominent and eventually result in permanent grooves in the skin.

How does Botox work?

Botox Dublin works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles preventing them from contracting which means that they cannot move and therefore disguises the appearance of lines and wrinkles in these areas. For example if your forehead is not moving when you are frowning then the skin will remain relaxed and therefore you will not be able to see the wrinkles and folds which may usually appear when making such facial expressions. Book an appointment at our practice today to find out about Botox injections and how they can help to address your lines and wrinkles.

The procedure itself is safe and simple. It will only require a few minutes from start to finish and our practitioner will use a small needle to inject the Botox into your areas of choice. Whether this is in your forehead, around your mouth or around your eyes, you should only feel a mild discomfort at the time of the injection and therefore no anaesthetic is necessary. You should be able to see full results within 7 to 14 days and the injection itself should last from 3 to 6 months, but varies from patient to patient.

Botox injections are safe to use, however you may experience some temporary side-effects such as bruising which is very common but will disappear quickly. You may have slight pain or swelling around the injection site which should also disappear very soon.

Botox is not suitable for pregnant women or those who are breastfeeding and our practitioner will be able to make an informed decision on whether Botox injections are the right choice for you.
