Botulinum Toxin – Busting Myths

Myths and Facts – Botulinum toxin (BOTOX®)

Myth 1

MYTH: The best time for anti-wrinkle treatments with Botulinum toxin is when the lines appear
FACT: If you can get ahead of the game, it may help you in the long run. Waiting until lines become etched into the skin means it’s much more difficult to smooth their appearance again. These treatments reduce lines and wrinkles formed by muscle movements like scowling, squinting, and raising eyebrows. Often by starting preventatively, our muscles can actually learn to not make certain expressions and contribute to worsening their lines. By not making certain expressions in the future, or making them less often, you may actually need fewer treatments, or need it less often.

Myth 2

MYTH: If you stop getting regular treatmentswith Botulinum toxin, it will make your wrinkles worse
FACT: No, They’ll just go back to the way they were before. If you decide to stop having treatments, you will slowly lose the relaxing effect of the treatments and will resume the normal development of wrinkles with movement. Your fine lines and wrinkles will not get worse. Treatment results are not permanent and last typically last four months. The results last a little bit longer for those undergoing injections at regular intervals over time. This is due to muscle atrophy as the muscles having been immobilised for a long period.

Myth 3

MYTH: Muscle relaxant treatment with Botulinum toxin is just for wrinkles
FACT: Not at all, the treatment of migraines involves reducing muscle tension creating less strain on the nervous system. Injections can also be used to temporarily block sweat glands to stop excessive sweating.

Myth 4

MYTH: Botox is something only women get
FACT: Jokingly referred to as “Bro-tox” more and more men are getting cosmetic skin treatments. Wrinkles can sometimes make men appear angry, not to mention older. Cosmetic skin injections can help soften up this look to just give a more approachable appearance, which can help men a great deal in business matters.

    Best dental surgery I have used so far, from the approachable staff behind the desk to the highly skilled dentist Dr Nandra and his team. Anyone looking for a lifelong and easy dentist to go too, I highly recommend Rock House Dental. Thank you Guys 'see you in 6 months'. :) - 11/25/2018

    Ultimate Halloween horror today. I went to the dentist this morning. It was a long job. I was given a local anaesthetic, layed back horizontally in the chair. Various clamps and grips were fixed in my mouth to keep my mouth open and my head still. Above me were three white bright lights. The surgeon set to work with her high speed drill. My mouth filled with water and I gasped to get my breath...Then.....Then I saw the WASP.
    It circled me angrily, trying to get to the light.
    Frantically I gasped and gurgled and pointed to the wasp .........
    Just joking folks! Although there really was a big fat wasp in the surgery it was high on the ceiling and a familar sight to the team.
    Excellent work done yesterday on my 4 front teeth. Thank you very much.

    I have been a patient at this practice for a number of years and have always found them to be caring and professional. Had my first appointment at their new location today. It's slightly nearer to town than the old location and is very smart and spacious. I'm sure that the treatment there will be as efficient as the old one. - 12/18/2023

    Having had bad experiences in the past I am never a regular patient. But the staff at Rock Dental really helped me overcome my fear and I have been smiling ever since! Highly Recommended! - 1/06/2019

    Fantastic dentists who really care about their patients and try and do as much as they can to help! I have always been treated kindly by all of the staff and would recommend anyone to them. - 5/26/2019

    For the first time in my life, I actually enjoyed going to the dentist! Seeing Adam at Rockhouse was a game-changer—he’s the best dentist I’ve ever had. He fixed my front two teeth, stopping them from wobbling, and the hygienist gave me an incredible clean. This experience was miles apart from my NHS visits and worth every penny! - 2/27/2025

    I have been a patient with Rock Dental for more than 10 years. I have always received professional care and all of the staff are very friendly and courteous .
    I have come to know my hygienist, Dawn Everitt as more like a friend now. She is very professional and knowledgeable and always ensures that i know exactly what is going on with my gums but she also takes time to talk to me about my personal life too. I feel relaxed and confident that I receive the best treatment with that added friendly touch.
    I would never go anywhere else for my treatment. Thank you 😊

    Have been a patient at rock house for a few years now (my wife too). We find them to be professional, polite and outstanding. The reception team are friendly and very knowledgeable. I recently had a root canal procedure and was feeling quite nervous, the team at rock house recognised this and called me several times to talk through the procedure (calls from clinician/dentist/reception).
    When I came for the treatment I felt quite good about having it done based on all previous conversations. This is something I’ve never had at previous dental surgeries. Rock dental is “THE” practice to be.

    I've never been to a dentist before even though I'm in my 20s. I've always heard of people hating their dental visits but Mr Nandra was fantastic! Very professional and pleasant, answered all my questions and explained everything in detail! Great experience!
    Hopefully my next appointment with the hygienist will be as great!

    I've been with Rock Dental for the past two years, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Kam and the entire team have been absolutely fantastic, providing top-quality care and support throughout my dental journey. From having my wisdom teeth removed to undergoing Invisalign treatment, they have been with me every step of the way.
    Now that I’m nearing the end of my treatment, I can truly appreciate the incredible work they've done. The team is not only highly skilled but also friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. I highly recommend Rock Dental to anyone looking for excellent dental care—you won't find a better team!
    Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!

    These guys have proved time and again for me that they care more, when I needed emergency care they performed miracles and then repeatedly rang me to check how I was. Then they coached me to make sure it didn't reoccur. They've repeatedly told me not to have treatment if they wouldn't themselves rather than just selling to the max. Integrity and care, exactly what you need in a dentist. - 3/13/2019

    NHS treatment just wasn’t cutting it. Joined Rock Dental when I hit 30years old and it’s honestly the best thing I’ve done for my health.
    Spent a-bit initially to fix and replace some shoddy NHS work (by others) filling replacements and wisdom teeth out. but that alone made me realise how good Rock Dental is.
    Dentistry to this team is a passion and an art form. They are pro active on check ups looking ahead for potential issues that may come up and advising how to avoid needing treatment.
    Absolutely petrified of the dentists but Rock House was a game changer for me. Should have joined 10 years sooner.

    I am a new patient at this Dentist and I am so impressed with the professionalism I have experienced. I was made to feel very relaxed and there was no pressure to decide what I wanted doing to my gapped teeth. The hygienist was very helpful and friendly and it was the best clean and polish I have ever experienced . This is just the first step to my future treatment and I feel very confident they are going to make me happy - 4/18/2018
  • Jaspal virdee
    Very welcoming staff at reception who were polite and respectful, unlike other experiences i have had even before being seen by a dentist. The dental treatment which was complex was performed with excellence and more professionally.
    The practice itself was very clean and modern having the latest equipment to provide a pleasant patient experience.

    Another excellent experience. Dr Nandra, Dawn and the team are always friendly and professional and make a potentially nerve wracking experience, for the anxious-patient like me, relaxed and (almost!) enjoyable. I can't recommend Rock House highly enough. Thanks again for your care and kindness guys. - 5/08/2019

    Having broken my crown on Thursday, 19th December 2025 in the morning , I visited the practice hoping that they could help me, especially near Christmas time! The lady at the reception was most helpful saying that I would be able to see someone within 40 minutes, considering that they had appointments during the day. Aran who saw me was very professional in every way, explaining to me what the cause could be. Having a temporary crown fitted on the same day felt like an early Christmas present. I couldn't thank her enough. A credit to Rock Dental and all the team. I wish them a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. - 12/20/2025

    I may have been one of Dr Anoup Nandra's more challenging patients,requiring some intricate treatment , having lost my teeth after years of having crowns caps
    fillings etc from a previous dentist I must say! It came the time I needed to bite the bullet, no pun intended ! to have dentures ,something I'd dreaded as my lower jaw was very thin and no matter how much fixative poligrip eg they were always on the move and uncomfortable, so I did some research as to what options I had, to overcome the problem, fortunately that's when I came across Dr Nandra who sympathetically assessed my situation and recommended I had an implant retained overdenture , I did and was he right ! that was about eight years ago, unfortunately I accidentally broke the denture recently ,so I phoned the Rock Team they got me in straight away, Dr Nandra soon sorted me out and now I'm chomping at the bit again, just in time for all the Christmas nuts and nice eats so to anyone who has a similar dental problem ,don't suffer, get in touch with the Rock team , I'd highly recommend them .
