Botox®

Noticeable results, no surgery, and no recovery time – discover the benefits of Botox®, Daxxify® and other neurotoxins at our practice.

There are many different reasons that patients choose to receive neurotoxin treatment, from wanting to remove fine lines and wrinkles to treating more severe conditions such as TMJ and chronic migraines. They can relieve any of the symptoms that make you feel less confident, and help you achieve a more youthful, radiant appearance.

What is Botox Cosmetic?

Botox is a medication that can only be prescribed to you by a healthcare professional. It is used as a temporary treatment for patients between the ages of 18 and 65. Botox treatments are quick and comfortable, and within hours you will begin to notice a difference in the way your skin looks and feels.

How do neurotoxins work?

Neurotoxins use a special protein to block overactive nerve impulses, restricting muscle contractions. In doing so, they help to relax the muscles beneath the skin, so that fine lines and wrinkles become less visible, giving the skin a healthy, more youthful appearance.

Depending on each individual case, the results can last between one and six months. Treatment is temporary, and once the neurotoxin begins to wear off, the skin will return to the way it looked before treatment.

Neurotoxins are also used to relieve symptoms of TMJ, as well as provide comfort to patients receiving dental implants. In each case, they are used to reduce the amount of stress placed on the teeth and jaw so that patients feel comfortable and confident.
