Wrinkle Treatment Sydney – Get the Smile You Deserve at Evergreen Dental
When you think about it, Botox injections are probably the last form of treatment that you’d expect a dental practice to offer but you’d be wrong. Modern dental practices like ours here at Evergreen Dental take a holistic approach to dentistry. This means that aside from restoring full dental function we also focus our attentions on the aesthetics of your entire smile and that means the facial features surrounding it.
Join the Botox revolution with our Chatswood dentists
It wasn’t many years ago when non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatment was purely the penchant of the rich and famous. Every Hollywood A-Lister from Nicole Kidman to Meg Ryan and yes even the Hoff himself would have their regular Botox top up. Nowadays it’s become more accessible and affordable to people from all walks of life and is used either as a stand-alone treatment to banish those tell-tale signs of ageing or as part of a larger procedure such as a Smile Makeover.
So How Does Botox Work?
To have a good understanding of dental Botox it’s important to first know what it is. In essence Botox is a trade name for Botulinum Toxin and is a purified natural protein used to treat a number of medical concerns, dental problems, and cosmetic issues. In the hands of skilled medical professionals it has a superb safety record.
When injected into the facial area it inhibits the nerve transmissions which tell the subsequent muscle to contract. As a result any facial muscles that have been injected, relax. As the muscles can’t now contract it means that any wrinkles soften, making them far less visible.
It’s particularly good on dynamic wrinkle lines around the forehead and eyes (these are the lines you see when the face experiences movement) and although results can be noticeable right away, it takes anywhere between 3-10 days before the real magic happens. The whole process usually takes less than 30 minutes and as it’s a temporary procedure, patients will need to come back for a top up every 3-6 months.

Okay, let’s get to the crunch …What actually happens?
If you’re anxious about having non-surgical wrinkle treatment, Sydney patients can rest assured that they needn’t be. The process is quick and far less painful than you might imagine. Remember we’re pretty good at administering painless injections 🙂 In fact, most of our patients tell us that talking about the procedure takes far more time than the actual process itself. The majority of patients choose to have a topical anaesthetic ointment applied to the area which dulls the sensation, while some prefer nothing at all.
Just before the first injection the cream is removed from the area and a small icepack is applied. This is removed after a few seconds and the treatment area is cleaned using alcohol or an antiseptic. Then the injections are carefully and quickly administered. So what about the pain?
Patients may feel some slight initial pain although many don’t. As the needle is very small, pain if any, is usually minimal.
Once the procedure is over patients are free to leave our practice within minutes after treatment. Most patients go back to work or continue with their daily lives. Those who wear make-up might want to re-apply it or touch up the affected areas. For a few days after there may be very slight tenderness and/or bruising and as such, patients can take homeopathic remedies such as Arnica Montana to sooth any tenderness.
