Botox
What is Botox used for?
Botox® is used to soften or eliminate dynamic wrinkles that are caused by muscle contraction. By relaxing the muscles, it allows the skin to recover and creates a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Botox therapy can be used to
- Treat TMJ disorder, jaw muscle pain, square jaw, reduce clenching and bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Improve a gummy smile
- Reduce facial pain including frontal and temporal headaches and migraines
Botox® or Botulinum Toxin A is a purified protein / neurotoxin of the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium. When injected into the muscle, Botox binds to the nerve terminal and prevents the nerve from signaling. This causes temporary weakness and/or paralysis of the muscle. The degree of weakness depends on dosage. Botox typically takes 2-10 days to have full effect on the muscle and the effects typically last 3-4 months, but individual results may vary.
