Botox®

What is Botox Cosmetic?

Botox is an FDA approved neuromodulator injectable that can be used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox can also be used to improve TMJ symptoms, chronic migraines, and lessen grinding and clenching. Botox can relieve many of the symptoms that make you feel less confident, and help you achieve a more youthful, radiant appearance.

How does Botox work?

Botox is a neurotoxin that blocks the release of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, thereby restricting muscle contractions. In doing so, Botox helps to relax the muscles beneath the skin, making fine lines and wrinkles less visible, and allowing the skin to rest and collagen to rebuild. In patients with TMJ pain, prone to grinding and clenching, Botox can also give the appearance of a slimmer jaw as the masseter muscles relax. With our expertise, patients are able to maintain their natural movement and facial expressions.

How long does Botox last?

Depending on each individual case, the results typically last between three to four months. Consistency in treatments is important to prolong the effects of Botox and continue to allow collagen to rebuild.
