We tend to think of Botox as being something we use to get rid of wrinkles, say a Central Leeds dentist. However, Botox can also help to give us a better smile as opposed to dermal infill’s which most people will plump for, if you`ll excuse the pun. The Botox is injected in small amounts to deaden the muscles that are giving away the fact we have wrinkles around the mouth area, smoking is one of the main causes as it deposits nicotine onto the lips and helps to kill off the natural defences. To stop smoking altogether would go some way to giving us all a better and natural smile. Botox is a non-harmful toxin, but a toxin just the same. It is a natural protein that is purified to become a bacterial toxin, which is a safe harmless drug. It is used to relax the muscles in the face, mostly to get rid of crow’s feet wrinkles and age showing lines. The muscles can be manipulated to make certain ones inactive and others do their job, this makes the skin move in directions that are not natural to their usual functions. The results are that a smile or a line-less forehead can be achieved, albeit for just a short while. The results take around 3-5 days to show up and last for about 5 months, if you want to continue a great smile, then you`ll need to have regular injections around this time period. Botox doesn’t educate the muscles, it just manipulates them and makes them do what the clinician wants them to do, if you don`t have a regular top up then the skin will revert back to its natural position.
