Facial Aesthetics in Lutz, FL

Going to a dentist for botulinum toxin and dermal fillers can offer patients the convenience of receiving comprehensive care from a trusted provider who understands both oral and facial anatomy. Dentists receive extensive training in head and neck anatomy, which is crucial for administering toxin and filler safely and effectively. They understand the intricate structures of the face and how changes in one area can affect the overall appearance. It allows for personalized treatment plans designed to enhance facial harmony and achieve natural-looking results. 

Botulinum Toxin (may be branded as Botox) is a purified protein produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. The product causes muscle relaxation for 2- 6 months on average (with wide variation between individuals) by temporarily disrupting nerve activity in muscles. As a result, this treatment can help soften current wrinkles and/or prevent new wrinkles. We currently offer this treatment for the forehead (frontalis), frown lines (glabella), eyes (orbicularis oculi), marionette lines (melolabial lines), chin, gummy smile, and lips. Not only does this product temporarily disrupt muscle activity, but it also temporarily disrupts sweat gland activity. Therefore, the product can be injected into the armpit (axilla) area to decrease sweat production!

Hyaluronic acid injectables include branded products such as Juvederm, Vivacy, and others that improve the appearance of lines, correct volume loss, or alter proportions. They include in their makeup mainly water, hyaluronic acid, lidocaine anesthetic, and stabilizing molecules such as BDDE (1,4-Butanediol Diglycidyl Ether). We currently offer this treatment for the improvement of wrinkles in the nasolabial and melolabial area (marionette lines) as well as for enhancement of the lips and cheeks.
