Online video conferencing has produced a Botox surge in 2021. If you’re like most, you’ve spent a lot of time on some form of video calls over the past year. The incredible rise of online conferencing has taken the world by storm with 76% of employers reporting some sort of remote communication. And as convenient as that has been, it’s also got a lot of us staring at our own faces more than we ever would have imagined.  


Medical professionals are seeing a huge rise in demand for injectable cosmetic procedures such as Botox and Juvaderm in 2021. It might seem like spending extended amounts of time at home would make people less interested in their appearance, but the opposite appears to be true. With so much video face time, many have decided that this year is the perfect time to refresh their faces.

Actual Koch aesthetic dentistry patient


Want to give Botox or fillers a try? The most important thing to consider if you’d like to try these procedures is choosing a trained, professional with proven results. Cosmetic dentists like Dr. Koch are trained in the anatomy and function of the whole face, not just teeth, and can therefore provide expert results.

Dr. Koch says, there are two main aspects to a Botox or dermal filler treatment that are instrumental in understanding its benefits.

> Volume:  Over time, our skin loses both collagen and elastin. These two substances are responsible for the fullness and elasticity of the skin. Their gradual loss is the direct cause of most wrinkles and loose skin. Dermal fillers replace that volume.

> Tension: Botox has a natural effect on the tension of muscles and tendons. It actually restricts the nerve signals that travel back and forth between the muscles and the brain. This allows those muscles to relax dramatically.

All of this results in a fuller, more youthful look. If you would like to know more and see what procedures could be right for you contact Dr. Koch's office at kochaesthetics.com or call (205) 933.0323.

And while you’re at it getting Zoom-ready, you can treat yourself to an enjoyable experience. Known locally as the “Dental Spa”, Dr. Koch’s calm and serene office also offers paraffin wax hand treatments, cool or warm eye masks, warm blankets, noise-canceling headphones, nitrous oxide and warm towels after treatment.
