What is Botox?

Botox is a purified protein that gently relaxes overactive muscles, allowing for both therapeutic relief and aesthetic enhancement. It works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, creating smoother movement and reduced tension. This versatile treatment is widely used in both dentistry and facial aesthetics to improve comfort, balance, and overall appearance.

The Process:

Therapeutic vs Cosmetic Botox

Therapeutic Botox focuses on relieving pain and muscle-related dental concerns by relaxing overactive muscles, making it effective for TMJ disorders, jaw tension, headaches, facial pain, bruxism, and post-surgical muscle spasms. Cosmetic Botox, on the other hand, is designed to soften expression lines and enhance facial aesthetics by targeting forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, lip lines, gummy smiles, and even aiding in jawline contouring. Together, both approaches offer natural-looking results whether the goal is greater comfort, enhanced beauty, or both.

more questions?

Why should Botox be performed by a dentist?

Dentists have extensive training in facial anatomy, jaw mechanics, and oral facial balance. This expertise allows Dr. Timin to deliver precise, natural looking results that support both facial aesthetics and functional comfort.

Is Botox treatment painful or does it require downtime?

Botox injections are quick and minimally uncomfortable, usually taking 10 to 15 minutes. There is little to no downtime, and most patients return to normal activities the same day.

How long does Botox take to work and how long do results last?

Most patients begin noticing improvement within 3 to 7 days after treatment. Results typically last about 3 to 4 months, after which maintenance treatments can help preserve the benefits.

How is cosmetic Botox different from therapeutic Botox?

Cosmetic Botox focuses on softening facial lines and enhancing appearance, while therapeutic Botox targets muscle related pain and functional issues. Both use the same medication but are applied differently based on treatment goals.

What conditions can therapeutic Botox help treat?

Therapeutic Botox is commonly used to relieve TMJ disorders, jaw tension, chronic headaches, facial pain, teeth grinding, and muscle spasms by relaxing overactive facial and jaw muscles.
