Frequently asked questions about Botox cosmetic injections with our local dental team

Botox injections have been approved by the FDA for cosmetic use since 2002 and have a long record of safety when administered by a licensed professional. Our dental team has extensive training in administering Botox injections and follows strict safety protocols to guarantee the health and well-being of our patients.

Residents of Wayne, New Jersey, who have received Botox injections from our dental team, can typically expect the effects to last for an average of three to four months. However, this may vary depending on factors such as individual metabolism and the strength of the injection dosage.

Botox injections are most commonly used to target wrinkles and fine lines in one’s forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes (also known as crow’s feet). However, they can also smooth out wrinkles around the mouth and chin area.

We find that any side effects that occur with Botox injections are often well-tolerated and resolved on their own. Some possible effects may include mild bruising, redness, and swelling at the injection site, temporary headache or flu-like symptoms, and temporary weakness of nearby muscles. These side effects are usually relatively short-lived and do not interfere with daily activities.

Botox injections can be a great option for individuals looking to improve their appearance by reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Our team will evaluate each patient individually to decide if they are a good candidate for Botox injections.
