Botox Does That?

Balance a Gummy Smile

If you notice your lip tends to lift above your gums when you smile, Botox can be an amazing treatment to help prevent that from happening. This treatment relaxes the muscles that cause your lip to lift or curl when smiling, thereby allowing you to smile and laugh with even more confidence. You will start seeing a difference in 1-2 days after your treatment and you can expect for it to last 3-4 months.

Alleviate TMJ symptoms

Whether you are dealing with TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) or you are looking to slim down your jawline, injection of the masseter muscle with Botox is the way to go. It can help manage teeth grinding, relieve headaches and reduce jaw tension. By relaxing the muscle and reducing tension, you also get the benefit from a softened jawline. This treatment can be done in a quick 10-minute visit with minimal to no discomfort and can last up anywhere from 4-6 months.

Improve skin quality

The latest use of Botox includes microinjections mixed with serums or vitamins to help decrease pore size, improve skin texture, and give a beautiful glow to the skin. It can also help decrease redness for those patients with rosacea as well as help reduce excessive oil production. I know what you’re thinking, “will I look overdone”. The answer is no because we are targeting the skin, no the muscle. There is no down   time or recovery time so truly anyone is a candidate and could benefit from this treatment!

Antiperspirant for Hyperhidrosis

For patients who sweat through their shirts by the time they get to work, a treatment of Botox to the underarms can be life-changing. By targeting the axillary sweat glands, we can reduce sweat production by up to 85%. This procedure is easy, effective, and can last up to 4-8 months. While the underarm area is what we most commonly treat, other areas like the palms and soles can be treated as well.
