Do anti-wrinkle injections cause a “frozen face look”?
Wrinkle-relaxing treatments affect only the tiny muscles being directly treated, and not the surrounding muscles. In this way, when you laugh or frown, the untreated muscles work normally so your expressions and the result will be subtle and natural.

'Will I look like Ross from Friends'?
Unless thats the look you're going for, this is unlikely. Home whitening is conducted in a controlled fashion, allowing you to tailor the results, so they suit you. By using this method and products we work with, a lighter-brighter smile is certainly achievable, so that will suit you.
Does Tooth whitening damage my teeth?
Quite simply, no! The most common risk associated with tooth whitening is sensitivity but there are several solutions for this and in the majority of cases, this subsides quickly with time and rarely causes any problems.

Usually, after the first whitening treatment, you would typically not have to re-whiten for 6-12 months. Typically, as time goes on, the time between re-whitening increases and you will need to 'top-up' less.
