botox vision

Dr Singh who runs his botox clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, in his latest blog shares his thoughts on your botox vision.

Your Botox Vision

“Vision without execution is hallucination.”
Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826), 3rd President of the United States
You will have a greater chance of success in your botox business if you have a vision for that part of the business. It must be inspired by something you are passionate about. You need to start with the end in mind and with this you will overcome obstacles.
There are several sub sections and I suggest you spend some time answering each section and undertake it as a team exercise with your dental team:
(i) What is the ultimate result you want to achieve from botox, e.g. – what do you want to create?
Do you want to create extra income from botox?
Do you want to have botoxintegrated within dentistry?
Do you want a separate botox business from dentistry?
Do you want a mobile botox service?
What strategic goals do you have for your business, e.g. – what
specific results do you want from the business?
Will it be financial goals in terms of turnover or profit?
Or will it be the number of patients undertaking botox?
Or will it be the number of days you want to do botox per
week?

(ii) Identity
What is your botoxbusiness going to become?
How will your botox patients describe it?
Will it be as a spa environment?
Or more as an aesthetics practice?
What’s your USP – Unique Selling Proposition?
Why should they choose you?

(iii) What resources are available to you?
What training will you go to or need to go to in terms of clinical and non clinical?
Will you delegate botox to someone else or will you do it yourself?
What kind of capital money will you need to set up the clinic and keep the promotional activity ongoing?
What ideas in terms of marketing, joint ventures, etc. would you need to come up with?

(iv) What’s your 3 to thrive? (courtesy of Tony Robbins).
If there were three areas of the business you need to attack to close the gap, what would they be, e.g. – marketing, team training, equipment, technology (website), clinical training? What three areas of business, if you focused on them, would make your business immediately thrive?
One-year goals, so relate this to sub section (i) in terms of what strategic goals do you want to achieve. What are the most important results your business must achieve this year? What do you need to do to achieve these results in terms of financial time spent on facial aesthetics?
Once you’ve worked out your one-year goal, you need to break it into 90-day goals, so to achieve your one-year goal, what must you do in the next 90 days? What are your top three goals that have outcomes for the next 90 days?

Botox types

Dr Singh who runs his botox clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, in his latest blog shares his thoughts on the different types of botox.

People are un-ware that there are four different types of Botox available and which have been approved by the FDA.
The four Botox products available are:
Botox by Allergan – is by far the most popular product used in the cosmetic world. Botox is commonly used to help wrinkles. Botox is used to prevent the muscles from contracting, temporally paralyse to give the face a smoother and fresher look.
MYOBLOC – these botox injections are predominately used for the treatment of adults with cervical dystonia to reduce the severity of abnormal head position and neck pain associated with cervical dystonia.
Dysport – Dysport is a prescription medicine botox that is injected into the muscle and is also used to treat abnormal head position and neck pain associated with cervical dystonia.
XEOMIN – is a botox prescription medicine that is injected into the muscles and is used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults.
All four products are created from the Clostridium Botulinum bacteria. All four products are isolated from various strains of bacteria; they present different molecular structures and attach to different parts of the nerve.

Botox and the TMJ

Dr Singh who runs his botox clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, in his latest blog shares his thoughts on whether Botox help with TMJ problems?

What is TMJ?
TMJ or Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders (TMJ) are a group of disorders that causes much pain, discomfort and dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscle that controls jaw movement.
What causes TMJ?
There are a few reasons why people suffer from TMJ. The possible causes could be, this is only a short list:
Heavy punch to the jaw
Whiplash
Putting pressure on the joint, such as grinding or clenching of the teeth
Arthritis in the joint and
Stress, this can cause the facial and jaw muscles to tighten

What are the symptoms of TMJ?
TMJ causes a lot of pain and discomfort which can last many years if left untreated. This disorder is very common for people aged between 20 and 40. The common symptoms can be:
Pain and tenderness in your face and jaw joint area
Trouble opening your mouth wide
Jaw gets stuck in the open or closed position
You may find that your jaw is clicking or popping when you open and close or mouth or when you are eating a meal
Trouble chewing food
Headaches, toothaches, earaches, hearing problems and possibly neckaches

How can Botox treatment help with TMJ?
Botox injections used in small dosages can help overcome some health problems. Currently, the FDA has not approved the use of Botox on TMJ disorders. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research states that ‘Results from recent clinical studies are inconclusive regarding the effectiveness of Botox for treatment of chronic TMJ disorders. Additional research is under way to learn how Botox specifically affects jaw muscles and their nerves.  The findings will help determine if this drug may be useful in treating TMJ disorders’.
