Botox Works

Botox Cosmetic is a quick and non-surgical option for patients who would like to achieve a younger appearance. Because botox Cosmetic can be injected in less than 30 minutes, the treatment has been nicknamed the "lunchtime" cosmetic procedure. Patients can experience the benefits of botox Cosmetic for up to six months, and multiple treatments can prevent the skin from creasing and new wrinkles from forming.

The best part about botox Cosmetic is that it will soften your expression lines and help “stop the clock” on further deepening of wrinkles and lines.

You could come to our office to solely undergo botox Cosmetic treatment, or combine treatment with another appointment. We can discuss what would suit you best.

Long before botox Cosmetic injections were used to beautify the face, they were used for medical purposes. Spastic muscles or muscles that clench involuntarily can cause extreme discomfort and embarrassment. botox Therapeutic -- delivered directly to problematic muscles via injections -- can relieve facial tics, involuntary teeth clenching, and other medical problems. Patients typically get three to four months of relief after just one treatment.

There is claim that botox Therapeutic is helpful in treating TMJ disorder, ensuring the success of new dental restorations, and more; however, the impact that this will have on your bite is still not conclusive. At this point, we would recommend traditional treatments such as dental splints or night guards to treat these conditions.

At our practice, patient comfort, cleanliness, and professionalism are paramount considerations. Though botox Cosmetic and botox Therapeutic are used to accomplish very different goals, you can be assured that you will achieve a superior result whether you undergo treatment for aesthetic reasons or to relieve muscle-related problems.
