How Botox can take years off your appearance

Botox treatment is an excellent way to leave you looking and feeling years younger, without the need for invasive treatment. At Vogue Dental Care in Luton, treatment with botulinum toxin is just one of the facial aesthetics treatments on offer from our fully-trained practitioners.

What is Botox?

botoxBotox is a gel made from a purified form of the botulinum type A toxin. It is used to combat the signs of ageing – unwanted lines and wrinkles that we often find appearing on our face as we get older. The treatment we offer at our Luton dental spa is a fast and painless way to improve the appearance of these lines and wrinkles, with many patients reporting a significant boost to their self-confidence after just one treatment.

As we age, lines and wrinkles appear on the forehead, around the lips and the jowls. Botox can be used in all these areas, as well as to treat pockets beneath the eyes.

Another popular use of Botox is to combat excessive sweating, which can be socially embarrassing and even life-restricting for patients who experience it. If you are interested in learning more about how treatment with botulinum toxin can ease excessive perspiration, please book a consultation with one of our experienced practitioners at Vogue Dental Care Luton.

Botulinum type A toxin is made into a purified gel, which your practitioner will inject into the desired area. For facial aesthetic treatment, it works by blocking nerve impulses to the tiny muscles in the face, forcing them to relax and smoothing out the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

The treatment is painless and only takes a matter of minutes. The full effects will develop over a few days, and depending on which area of your face you have treated can last up to six months before a repeat treatment is required.
