About BOTOX

BOTOX is a popular injectable treatment that helps many people improve their appearance by essentially freezing certain facial muscles. It has been used increasingly over the past several decades to reduce the visibility of wrinkles and other facial flaws resulting from the constant muscle contractions associated with laughing, smiling, concentrating, or squinting. BOTOX is made from a purified form of bacteria, making it both safe and effective when used properly in a medical setting. For those looking to achieve younger-looking skin without an invasive surgical procedure, millions of people worldwide rely on BOTOX.

About Fillers 

Dermal fillers offer a safe and effective way to restore natural fullness, shape, and definition that has been lost due to aging, or enhancing the facial structure. By gently replacing lost facial volume with fillers, areas such as the cheeks, lips, and around the mouth can be rejuvenated to restore a fresh, youthful look. Due to minimal downtime associated with fillers as an alternative to a more invasive procedure.  The results are visible immediately, and based on the type of filler, can last from six months to two years.

BOTOX for TMJ

Temporomandibular jaw disorder, commonly called TMJ, is caused by clenching muscles in the jaw. This leads to teeth grinding, jaw tension, tension headaches, and a range of other unwanted effects. TMJ is effectively treated with BOTOX, which has a number of medical uses aside from cosmetic enhancements.

BOTOX injections are used to help patients suffering from TMJ by helping to temporarily relax the clenching muscles around the jaw, forcing them to weaken their grip. BOTOX is carefully injected around the head and jaw, effectively relieving involuntary muscle clenching and the resultant muscle tension and other negative effects. As a result, TMJ is resolved with a simple injectable treatment.
