Our skilled dentists may recommend BOTOX® treatment to improve both your appearance and your quality of life. BOTOX (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable medication that is known for its versatile and multifaceted approach to addressing both medical and aesthetic concerns. BOTOX works by temporarily freezing and relaxing the muscles into which it is injected, working quickly and comfortably to meet your needs.
Cosmetically, BOTOX is renowned for its ability to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines that appear on the face over time. By targeting the muscles responsible for the formation of frown lines, crow's feet and forehead wrinkles, BOTOX injections can help individuals achieve a more youthful and refreshed look. The procedure is quick, often taking just a few minutes, with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately. The effects of BOTOX are temporary, lasting about three to four months.
Beyond its cosmetic applications, BOTOX has proven to be an effective treatment for a range of medical conditions, offering relief to those suffering from chronic migraines, TMJ disorders and bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching). By blocking the nerve signals that trigger these conditions, BOTOX can significantly reduce pain and other symptoms of these conditions, improving patients' overall comfort and quality of life.
The amount of BOTOX used in your treatment will vary based on muscle mass and the severity of your condition. Injections are typically made in or around the treatment areas, such as the locations of lines and wrinkles or around the jaw, neck or ears. The treatment itself is quick and comfortable, requiring only a simple injection, meaning that you will be able to return to your regular activities as soon as you leave our office. BOTOX is generally very comfortable, but ice or topical numbing creams may be used to further enhance your comfort.
