What Is BOTOX?

BOTOX is the brand name of a diluted form of botulinum toxin, which is a type of bacteria. While that might sound a little intimidating, the truth is that when it is properly used, BOTOX is safe and effective for treating wrinkles. It works by limiting muscle movements in a targeted area. As a result, the skin on top of those muscles appears much smoother.

BOTOX can also be used to relax the muscles around the jaw joint, which can lead to fast relief of TMJ disorder symptoms.

Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX?

BOTOX might be suitable for you if:

  • You are in your late 20s or older. The minimum legal age for BOTOX is 18, but most people wait until they start seeing signs of aging before they start treatment.
  • You are bothered by fine lines and wrinkles. BOTOX can minimize the appearance of a range of issues, including:
    • Crow’s feet
    • Vertical lines between the eyebrows
    • Horizontal forehead lines
    • Lines at the corners of the mouth
    • Smoker’s lines around the lips
  • You struggle with symptoms of TMJ disorder. Such symptoms include jaw pain, facial pain, headaches, and limited jaw mobility.

The Benefits of BOTOX

Some of the most noteworthy benefits of BOTOX include:

  • Treatment is fast, usually taking just 20 – 60 minutes.
  • Results appear quickly, often taking just one week or so.
  • The results can last for months. Many people return to our office for retreatment every 3 – 6 months or so.
  • BOTOX costs much less than more invasive cosmetic procedures, such as surgery.
  • No downtime is required after injections; you can get right back to your normal routine after your appointment.
  • The results can look very natural, so there is no need to worry that you will look like you “have had some work done.”
