Botox from a dentist? It could be the best decision you make

Facial aesthetics treatments including Botox and dermal fillers are becoming increasingly popular – but how do you know you can trust your practitioner to do a good job? As dentists the facial aesthetics team at Vogue Dental Care in Luton are able to use their advanced knowledge of facial structures and anatomy to deliver safe, predictable and reliable facial aesthetics treatments.

As we age, unwanted lines and wrinkles often develop on our face. Whereas surgery was once the only option to lessen these lines, now non-invasive facial aesthetics treatments such as Botox are increasingly popular. More and more patients are visiting our Luton practice for this treatment.

What is Botox?

Botox is a purified version of the botulinum type A toxin, which is made into a gel and is commonly used to smooth out wrinkles and frown lines on the forehead, to lift the jowls and to treat saggy pockets under the eyes.

Another increasingly popular use of botulinum toxin is to prevent excessive sweating, which can be a source of major embarrassment for those who suffer from it. If you are interested in this treatment, please get in touch with our Luton practice for more information.

How treatment works

Botox works by blocking nerve impulses to tiny facial muscles, forcing them to relax and smoothing out the skin. It is delivered by pain-free injection and your appointment at Vogue Dental Practice should only take a few minutes. When performed by medically trained professionals such as a dentist or doctor, this treatment is entirely safe.

Treatment results will be clearly visible after a few days and will last for several months before a repeat treatment is required.
