Cosmetic BOTOX®

Over time, facial lines and wrinkles naturally develop, and they can be made more noticeable by sun exposure or a gradual reduction in collagen. Cosmetic BOTOX® in Salt Lake City can temporarily reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. Dr. Michael T. Smith is proud to offer this treatment at Holladay Smiles.

BOTOX (onabotulinumtoxinA) is injected into targeted facial muscles to temporarily reduce the appearance of frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. It works by relaxing the muscles responsible for these expression lines, and it remains an FDA-approved treatment for this cosmetic use. As your dentist, Dr. Smith already has extensive, hands-on knowledge of facial muscles, nerves, and anatomy from years of dental training, which translates directly into precise, careful BOTOX injections.

Here are some key benefits of cosmetic BOTOX:

• Reduces the appearance of wrinkles: BOTOX can smooth lines on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows.
• No surgery or downtime: BOTOX involves no incisions or stitches, so you can resume your daily routine right after treatment.
• Quick appointment: Treatment itself typically takes only a few minutes.
• Visible results: Many patients notice improvement within a few days of treatment.

During treatment, our team may use ice or a topical numbing cream to help keep you comfortable before injecting the medication into the targeted muscles with a fine needle. You may begin noticing improvement within a few days, with results that can last for a few months before a follow-up treatment is needed. Some patients also combine cosmetic BOTOX with dermal fillers to address both dynamic wrinkles and volume loss in the face.
