A prominent treatment for anti-aging, Botox® minimizes the appearance of wrinkles by smoothing the skin. The treatment is a non-surgical and minimally invasive method for cosmetic enhancement, but it has since expanded into a more versatile solution that goes beyond aesthetics. Whether you’re seeking relief from migraines, excessive sweating, a gummy smile, TMJ disorders, or aiming for skin rejuvenation, we can help. At Union City Mini Dental Implants, we offer Botox injections to address various dental and facial concerns, providing comprehensive care for our patients’ oral health and overall well-being.
Botox Explained
Botox®, a prominent brand of botulinum toxin injections, is an FDA-approved neurotoxin that impacts nerves and relaxes facial muscles. Botox blocks signals between the nerves and muscles, temporarily preventing muscle contractions. It is administered in controlled doses into targeted areas in the muscles to alleviate wrinkles, manage migraine headaches, and address a spectrum of diverse health conditions. While Botox isn’t a cure for conditions, it offers relief by easing symptoms and temporarily reducing muscle tension.
The Versatility of Botox Injections
These injections are most commonly known to relax facial muscles responsible for frown lines and other facial wrinkles. Over time, repeated facial movements cause the skin to wrinkle. Fine lines and wrinkles become even more noticeable as our skin’s collagen and elastin production slows with age. Botox® intervenes by blocking the chemical signals that trigger muscle contractions. Inducing muscle relaxation diminishes wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a smoother, more youthful look. Additionally, more people are opting for proactive Botox treatments to prevent deep wrinkles from forming.
Botox has been a prominent non-surgical skin treatment but is also a proven solution for various health issues. It not only helps prevent migraines, but it can also control acne by regulating oil production and treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
Our practice offers Botox injections as a multifaceted treatment option. In addition to skin concerns, we can also address various dental issues, including TMJ disorders and bruxism. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care ranging from aesthetic enhancements to addressing medical and dental conditions.
Botox Injections for TMJ
The temporomandibular joint, commonly called the TMJ, is the connection point between the jawbone and the skull. It facilitates essential movements like chewing and speaking. Your body houses two of these joints, one on each side of your face near the ears.
Some people experience TMJ dysfunction that can disrupt their daily routines. TMJ issues can cause serious discomfort, leading to jaw pain and facial pain that can extend to the shoulders or neck. Other effects include headaches, migraines, earaches, and toothaches. It can also affect the jaw’s alignment, causing malocclusion.
Botox® injections provide relief for discomfort primarily caused by jaw clenching. In treating TMJ dysfunction, Botox helps relax the facial muscles, particularly the large masseter muscle along the jaw. Administering Botox directly into this muscle causes it to relax, preventing involuntary muscle contractions and reducing jaw clenching.
What to Expect From Botox Treatment
One key advantage of Botox® treatment is that there is minimal pain or discomfort during the procedure. We begin by numbing the injection sites with a topical anesthetic and use a very fine needle to inject it into the treatment area.
Botox treatments provide a swift and convenient solution with minimal downtime. You can resume regular activities immediately after the treatment. After about two weeks, you’ll notice the full impact of Botox. Generally, the effects last three to six months, although this depends on several factors, including how fast your body metabolizes the solution.
