Quiz: Can Your Dentist Help Remove Wrinkles?

When you think of cosmetic treatments from the dentist, you probably imagine veneers, whitening, or maybe bonding. But we can address more than just your teeth. Using a variety of treatments, we can now address wrinkles, lines, and other signs of aging. Do you need Botox or a dermal filler? How do these procedures work?

1. True or False: Botox can remove lines in the forehead.
2. True or False: We can use dermal fillers to address laugh lines.
3. True or False: Voluma can lift cheeks for up to two years.
4. True or False: Kybella can help address a double chin.

Answer Key

1. True. Administered via an injection, this synthesized protein can remove wrinkles around the eyes and in the forehead, helping you obtain a more youthful appearance. The results can last between four and six months.
2. True. While Botox removes wrinkles, dermal fillers address deep set lines by filling them with a special collagen. We can address laugh lines and nasolabial folds, and even thin lips.
3. True. Voluma is a dermal filler that we use to lift cheeks and fill in lines that have appeared due to volume loss. While our other treatments can offer results for several months, patients can often see results from Voluma that last up to two years.
4. True. Kybella is a new option we’re just now offering our patients. Like Botox and dermal fillers, this is administered via an injection. However, this product targets the accumulation of fat cells under the chin, allowing the body to break them down and absorb them, removing the “double chin” in the process. While you may require treatment once a month over a period of three to six months, the results can last for several years.
