What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is the brand name for FDA-approved injections containing small, safe doses of a neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It blocks nerve signals to your muscles, preventing them from tightening. This helps smooth the wrinkles in your face that form when the associated muscles contract. You may require periodic retreatment to maintain the results because your body eventually metabolizes the active ingredient, though the process can take several months.

In some cases, this service can also be used to alleviate symptoms associated with a sore, stiff, or locked jaw, as well as other dental concerns.

Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?

This medication is considered safe for most people, although it is known to result in complications for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have active skin infections at the injection site, or have a history of neuromuscular disease.

You must consult Dr. Tamara before proceeding to ensure you’re a good candidate. Once she determines that BOTOX® is right for you, she can strategically administer injections to address one or more of the following:

  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Crow’s feet (the wrinkles around the eyes)
  • ‘Smoker’s lines’ around the lips
  • Lines at the corners of the mouth
  • Wrinkles between the eyebrows

The Benefits of BOTOX®

BOTOX® injections provide many benefits, including:

  • Fast procedure. These are sometimes referred to as “lunchtime facelifts” because they might only take about 20 minutes to complete, though the timing depends on your unique circumstances.
  • Minimally invasive option. You can enjoy similar perks of a facelift without scalpels or lengthy recovery periods.
  • Lasting results. The results can last for several months before wearing off.
  • Boosted confidence. Upgrading your appearance can enhance your confidence, which can improve your daily quality of life.
  • Versatile service. This treatment can address multiple types of facial wrinkles as well as TMJ-related concerns and other oral issues.
