botox cosmetics

BOTOX^® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Take a look at men and women who've had BOTOX^® Cosmetic treatments, and see for yourself!

One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

BOTOX^® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.

In 2005, almost 3.3 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX^® Cosmetic.

There’s only one BOTOX^® Cosmetic. Talk to your doctor to see if BOTOX^® Cosmetic is right for you!

  Cleansing removes the top layer of dead cells, oil, perspiration and pollution. If your skin is not cleansed properly it becomes dull and flaky and the oil glands block up with dirt and cellular waste, causing breakouts and congestion.

• How

  Gently press the face with a warm, soft cloth to soften and prepare the skin for cleansing. Massage one or two pumps of cleanser into your face and neck. Remove with a damp cloth and plenty of water. If wearing make-up, a second cleanse is necessary.

  Twice daily (am/pm)

corective cosmetics

For some people, even smiling can be embarrassing when dental problems are severe or very noticeable. Crooked, discolored, chipped, or missing teeth can be a cause of discomfort and result in lowered self-esteem if left unfixed.

However, cosmetic dentistry makes it so people who are embarrassed of their teeth no longer have to be. Designed specifically to improve the appearance of otherwise healthy teeth, virtually any problem can be fixed by a skilled dentist via cosmetic dentistry.

Why do people get cosmetic dentistry?

There are a number of reasons people get cosmetic dentistry, including:

• Misshapen or crooked teeth

• Discolored teeth

• Broken or missing teeth

• Large spaces or gaps in the teeth

• Uneven gum lines

Perhaps you feel your teeth are too small for your mouth. Or maybe you feel like they aren’t as white as you like. Regardless of the reason, cosmetic dentistry may be right for you if there is anything about your smile you don’t like.

What types of cosmetic dentistry is available?
There are many types of cosmetic dentistry available, depending on your needs. Your dentist will help you determine the best type for you. The following are some of the more common types of cosmetic dentistry:

In-office whitening

Tooth whitening is perhaps the most common and most popular form of cosmetic dentistry. While you can purchase whitening products at your local drugstore, cosmetic whitening from a dentist will whiten up to 8 shades, as opposed to the 2 or 3 shades over the counter products will whiten your teeth. The most common types of whitening are bleaching trays, in which custom-fit trays are made by the dentist then filled with a bleaching gel by you at home and worn for a specified period of time, and laser whitening, which takes about an hour and involves painting the teeth with a special gel, then shining a laser on them to whiten them. Bleaching trays can cost up to several hundred dollars, while laser whitening is usually around $1,000.

Veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain sheets that are bonded to the front of the tooth and can greatly transform the appearance of the teeth. Some people opt to get veneers for permanent whitening, since they are resistant to staining. Most often, veneers are used to correct small imperfections on the teeth and in some cases can be used in place of braces. Very crooked teeth and missing teeth are not candidates for veneers.

Crowns

A dental crown is typically made of resin or porcelain and is used to replace a tooth that is cracked, worn, or otherwise misshapen. A crown covers the entire visible area of the tooth and are rooted into the gum and held in place with a special type of bond. The dentist takes an impression of the tooth, and a lab then makes the crown.

If you are embarrassed by your teeth, or find yourself smiling or talking less for fear of drawing attention to your mouth, then cosmetic dentistry may be right for you. Your dentist will be happy to discuss your options with you.
