Neurotoxin Near You
Neurotoxin is a naturally occurring purified protein that has both therapeutic and cosmetic properties. It is injected into certain areas of the face to relax your muscles.
Neurotoxin is well known for treating things such as frown lines, wrinkles, and other age-related conditions. At Ipswich Bay Dental, our dentist also uses neurotoxin near you to help patients who suffer from tense jaw muscles related to the clenching and grinding of teeth.
How Does Neurotoxin Treatment Work?
This cosmetic and restorative treatment works by releasing naturally occurring neurotoxins into the muscles to prevent them from contracting. Neurotoxins are injected into your facial muscles and attach themselves to nerve endings, blocking neurotransmitters from reaching your central nervous system. In doing so, neurotoxins relax your facial muscles and create a more youthful appearance or relieve painful dental conditions.
Are There Any Side Effects?
You may experience some mild symptoms after getting neurotoxin treatment in Ipswich, but they should subside within a few days of treatment. Some side effects include:
- Swelling
- Discomfort
- Allergic reactions
- Redness
- Dizziness
How Long Does Neurotoxin Treatment Take?
The first step for neurotoxin treatment is speaking with your dentist to address any questions or concerns about the procedure and discuss your goals for treatment. After this initial session, your treatment sessions will be short, taking ten minutes on average to complete.
Neurotoxins are injected with a small syringe just below your skin. The full effects of treatment will be seen in the first two weeks and can last for up to six months.
