FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTIONS
What is Botox?
Botox is a well known brand name for botulinum toxin, which is injected in minute quantities in the muscles usually around the eyes and forehead to reduce or eliminate wrinkles. The brand of botulinum toxin that we use at Evolve is called Azzalure.
What is involved in the treatment?
After a consultation to ensure that there is no medical reason that Azzalure would be unsuitable, the areas to be treated are agreed and a consent form is signed. The actual treatment is a series of injections that take a short time to inject.
How long before I see the results?
It takes between 5-14 days for the effect to be seen. The effects last for between 2-3 months.
Who can’t have this treatment?
Amongst those that can’t have this treatment are pregnant and breastfeeding women and anyone who suffers form a neuromuscular disease, such as MS or motor neurone disease. At Evolve we carry out a full consultation before commencing treatment to ensure it is suitable for you.
Is it safe?
Yes it is in the quantities that it is injected for cosmetic reasons. There can be some redness, swelling or bruising after treatment. In very rare cases there can be eyelid or eyebrow drooping.
What is a dermal filler?
Dermal fillers are used to plump up the skin. They are injected in and around the lips and in the creases that run from the nose to the mouth. The product used at Evolve Dentistry is Juvederm Ultra, a hyaluronic acid that is naturally found in the body when we are young.
How long before I see the results?
You will see the results immediately, though there is a little more improvement over the next 2-3 days as the product attracts water to the area. The effects can last between 6 to 9 months.
What is involved in the treatment?
Following a consultation and agreeing on the areas that need treatment, a consent form is signed. Then the area to be treated is usually made numb and the filler is then injected.
Is it safe?
Yes, because it is a product that is naturally produced when we are younger, it is not necessary to patch test. After treatment though, there may be bruises or swelling.
