Aging is a natural part of getting older. As we accumulate years of memories, it starts to show of the skin. This isn’t anything to be ashamed of, but many aren’t ready to accept this fate quite yet. In addition to using your facial muscles every day, other factors, like sun exposure, smoking, and genetics can worsen the appearance of wrinkles. To revitalize the smooth, youthful appearance of your skin, we offer facial injectables, including BOTOX®. Read on to learn more about BOTOX® and how it can benefit you!

What Is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is made from the bacteria, “botulinum toxin,” in diluted form. This is injected into overworked muscles that have created lines and wrinkles to help them relax. This ultimately reduces the appearance of signs of aging. Optimal results usually take between five and ten days to show and last anywhere from three to six months depending on the patient.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?
Those who are pregnant, have neuromuscular disease, skin disorders, or deep facial scars are probably not good candidates for BOTOX®. This is why it is so important that you discuss your medical history with your dentist. Ideal candidates for BOTOX® are usually in their late 20s or older and are looking to improve the appearance of find lines and wrinkles. BOTOX® can also address the following imperfections.
- Crow’s feet
- Muscle spasms
- Lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal lines on the forehead
- Smoker’s lines around the lips
- Lines at the corners of the mouth

BOTOX FAQs
Is BOTOX safe?
BOTOX is the commercial name for the injectable form of the botulinum toxin bacteria, which in small doses is considered completely safe. In fact, in the first 14 years after BOTOX in Owasso earned its FDA approval, only 36 adverse events were reported, and most were due to the specific patient’s underlying medical issues, not to the BOTOX itself.
To reduce the risk of developing adverse effects, be sure to only receive BOTOX injections from a qualified professional, such as Dr. Voto.
Is BOTOX permanent?
While the results of BOTOX injections both look and feel natural, unfortunately they won’t last forever. In most cases, you can expect them to deliver a smooth, wrinkle-free appearance for between three and six months. Then, once the effects have worn off, you are free to repeat the treatment as many times as you’d like!
The exact length your BOTOX injections last will depend on a variety of individual factors, such as your age, metabolism, activity levels, and even your exposure to environmental toxins. Because BOTOX in Owasso is broken down by the proteins in your body over time, they are a safer antiaging treatment since it allows you and Dr. Voto the opportunity to keep a closer eye on emerging health developments as well as the ability to adapt to new aesthetic goals.
Does BOTOX remove wrinkles?
Depending on the type of wrinkles in question, BOTOX in Owasso can be extremely successful at temporarily reducing their appearance. That’s because the botulinum toxin essentially prevents the nerves from signaling the muscles to contract, allowing your wrinkles to relax and smooth out. This in turn creates a more streamlined appearance in the forehead, around the eyes, and surrounding the mouth.
While BOTOX is an ideal treatment for “dynamic wrinkles” caused by facial movement, they are not as effective on “static wrinkles” which develop due depleted collagen from smoking and sun damage.
Using BOTOX as a preventive treatment can help minimize the effects of emerging lines before they become visible, slowing them down much more than traditional treatments like lotions or antiaging creams.
Does BOTOX make acne go away?
While it won’t cure acne, studies have shown that BOTOX can help decrease oil production in the face. BOTOX in Owasso is not recommended as an acne treatment but should not increase breakouts or make blemished skin worse. If you are suffering from acne breakouts, speak to a dermatologist about your treatment options.
Typically, when patients do notice a decrease in the appearance of acne, it is usually located on the forehead, as the muscles in that area are located closer to the skin’s surface and may be better able to benefit from injections.
