As we age, it’s common to notice fine lines and wrinkles—not just on the face or forehead, nor just surrounding the mouth, but sometimes on the neck, too. These horizontal lines, often called neck bands, can be frustrating for those looking to maintain a youthful appearance. However, you should know that just like it can be used to address fine facial lines and enhance your smile’s appearance. BOTOX can also be used to soften these neck lines. Here’s more about how your dentist can help!
Is BOTOX Safe & Effective for Use on the Neck?
When administered by a trained professional, BOTOX can be used safely in the neck to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and tight neck bands. These bands form due to repeated muscle movements and natural aging; however, BOTOX works by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles, which smooths the skin and gives your neck a more refreshed appearance. Using BOTOX in the neck is more or less the same as using it in the face to address crow’s feet, laugh lines, forehead wrinkles, and other types of aging lines—it’s safe, effective, and certain to provide confidence-inspiring results.
Why See a Dentist for BOTOX?
BOTOX in the neck is often a part of broader facial rejuvenation treatment plans, but it can also be sought out on its own, specifically for neck lines. Patients typically notice smoother skin and a softer, more youthful contour in their neck after their initial injections. The results aren’t permanent, but they can last for several months, and regular treatments can help maintain the effects over time. Halting treatments has no ill side effects, other than the reappearance of your neck lines.
You also may be surprised to learn that many dentists are highly skilled in providing BOTOX treatments. Dentists are experts in facial anatomy and routinely deliver precise injections in sensitive areas of the face, jaw, and neck, meaning there are few more skilled to provide BOTOX injections! In fact, this treatment is often used not only to address facial aesthetics, but even to help manage TMJ pain. With their training and expertise, you’re trusting the right person to help you achieve your dental—and appearance-based—goals.
It’s never too late to restore your confidence with a refreshed, youthful appearance, starting with a smooth neckline with the help of BOTOX!
