BOTOX Cosmetic Applications
BOTOX treats wrinkles and fine lines that appear over time as one age. When BOTOX is administered to areas of the face it temporarily relaxes a patient’s muscles, this smooths the skin and creates a more youthful appearance.
BOTOX Therapeutic Applications
BOTOX has been increasingly used in dentistry due to its therapeutic uses in the treatment of muscle-generated dental diseases.
The therapeutic applications of BOTOX can be used to treat the following dental issues:
- Temporomandibular joint disorder
- Bruxism
- Orthodontic therapy
- Denture adjustment
How Does BOTOX Cosmetic Treatment Work?
BOTOX prevents the facial muscles from contracting by releasing neurotoxins. The injection of BOTOX into the facial muscles improves a patient’s skin texture for a more youthful look. When injected, BOTOX attaches itself to the nerve endings and blocks the release of neurotransmitters to the central nervous system. In addition, BOTOX is used to relieve the pain associated with certain dental conditions.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
Patients can begin noticing results within the first two days, however, this depends on one’s genetics and if the BOTOX is used for cosmetic or therapeutic purposes. On average, the effects of BOTOX treatment last 3 to 6 months, and patients with conditions such as TJD and bruxism will require maintenance appointments.
