In ancient mythology, we find stories of a fountain of youth where one can drink a magical fluid in the form of either water, nectar or milk and honey, leaving the recipient rejuvenated and full of vigor. But thanks to new breakthroughs in science, you can come very close to experiencing what these popular tales refer to through Botox in Corpus Christi. And as you continue reading, you’ll learn why wrinkles don’t stand a chance against this marvelous new cosmetic treatment that helps you maintain a youthfully vibrant look.
What is Botox?
Originally used to treat patients with joint and muscle pain, Botox works by affecting the nervous system and altering the signals sent that can cause sporadic muscle movements. Doctors later discovered that in doing this, it also inhibited the formation of wrinkles in the skin, which led to a whole new genre of cosmetic applications.
A Youthful Look with Botox Cosmetic
Administered by injection, Botox Cosmetic aids in reducing fine lines and wrinkles by limiting the movement in your facial muscles. You will still have control over the targeted areas, but the unconscious twitches that lead to aging lines will be halted. These dosages can last between four and six months, and most patients incorporate the treatment processes in with their semi-annual dental visits.
Botox Treatments from a Dentist?
Does it seem odd to receive Botox treatments from your cosmetic dentist in Corpus Christi? The reason the two worlds find congruency is that they both can address the aesthetic appeal of your facial appearance. Furthermore, working with a dentist who is trained in both areas, provides the convenience of experiencing the joy of a more complete makeover under one roof.
Is Your Appearance Important?
Your appearance is definitely important because of the way it makes you feel, and studies have shown that greater confidence can translate into improved health and immune function. Thus, as the old saying goes, “When you look good, you feel good.” To solidify this sentiment, scientists have discovered the possibility of Botox serving as an anti-depressant. This research is still in its fledgling stages, but it has at least revealed that the mental effects of Botox last much longer than the cosmetic ones do.
So when you decide that you’re ready to take a sip from the fountain of youth, just reach out to your dentist in Corpus Christi to schedule a consultation.
