BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is well-known for its ability to enhance facial aesthetics by smoothing moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead creases. In a dental setting, BOTOX can provide you with a refreshed, younger-looking appearance, helping you look and feel your best and further highlighting your beautiful smile. BOTOX injections work by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for creating wrinkles and fine lines. If you are seeking a nonsurgical approach to maintain a youthful appearance, BOTOX may be an ideal choice.
Benefits of Cosmetic BOTOX
At Padre Island Family Dentistry, we often recommend BOTOX to patients who wish to improve their facial appearance without the commitment and downtime of surgery. Our dentist and team are trained to administer BOTOX in a way that prioritizes both aesthetics and comfort. With precise injections around areas like the brow, eyes and forehead, we can help you achieve a smoother, more rejuvenated look that enhances your natural beauty.
Therapeutic BOTOX
Beyond cosmetic purposes, BOTOX has additional medical applications that might benefit dental patients. Some patients find relief from conditions like TMJ disorders with BOTOX treatment, as it can help ease muscle tension and reduce associated jaw pain. For patients experiencing migraines or chronic headaches, BOTOX may also offer a reduction in headache frequency and severity.
The BOTOX Treatment Process
A typical BOTOX appointment at our office is efficient and minimally invasive, requiring only a brief time in the treatment chair. Injections are administered with a fine needle, and to ensure your comfort we may use ice or a numbing agent before beginning. Following the appointment, you can immediately resume daily activities, as there is no downtime required. Results typically begin to appear within 24 to 48 hours and can last up to four months, depending on your body’s response to the treatment.
