Botox Near You for Smoother, More Relaxed-Looking Skin
Repeated facial expressions are part of how we communicate, but over time, repeated muscle movement can contribute to the appearance of lines in certain areas of the face. Progressive Dental Arts offers Botox as a non-surgical injectable treatment for patients interested in softening the appearance of selected facial lines. Serving Newark, Christiana, and Pike Creek, DE, treatment can be planned around your facial movement, anatomy, and cosmetic goals.
How Botox Works
Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily reduces activity in targeted muscles. By limiting the muscle contractions responsible for certain expression lines, Botox can soften the appearance of wrinkles that develop with repeated movement.
Unlike dermal fillers, Botox does not add volume beneath the skin. It works by affecting muscle activity, making it more appropriate for certain dynamic wrinkles lines that become more noticeable when you smile, frown, squint, or make other facial expressions.
The treatment involves a series of small injections into carefully selected muscles. The amount and location of Botox depend on the areas being treated and the desired degree of muscle relaxation.Results are temporary. Muscle activity gradually returns as the effects wear off, so patients who want to maintain the cosmetic effect may choose to have repeat treatments according to their provider's recommendations.

Why Choose Botox?
Botox can be useful when facial lines are closely associated with repeated muscle movement. Instead of filling a crease or adding volume, the treatment targets the underlying muscle activity contributing to its appearance.
A personalized assessment is important because facial muscles differ from person to person. Treating too broadly or using an inappropriate amount may produce an appearance that doesn't match your preferences. Dr. Rodney Kryzhanovskiy, D.M.D. and Dr. Lavinia Wu, D.M.D. can evaluate your facial movement and discuss whether Botox is appropriate for the cosmetic concern you're trying to address.
