Botox® Treatment in Denver & Lone Tree
Botox® is a cosmetic injectable that targets wrinkles and fine lines, but did you know that it can also be a treatment for TMD? Botox® can soothe your TMJ pain and help your tense jaw muscles relax for fast TMD symptom relief.
What is Botox®?
The active ingredient in Botox® is botulinum toxin, or botulinum type A. Medical professionals have been using this ingredient in procedures for over 80 years. Time and time again, botulinum type A has shown itself to be safe and effective.
Botox® treatment is a type of intramuscular injection, which means it is applied directly to the muscles.
The areas that most patients treat with Botox® include:
- Worry lines in the forehead.
- Furrows between the eyebrows.
- Sagging eyebrows.
- Crow’s feet in the corners of the eyes.
- Frown and smile lines.
How Does it Work?
Botox® is injected into the facial muscles surrounding the areas indicated by the patient. Botox® relaxes the muscles, so they cannot contract.
Wrinkles and fine lines will quickly ease up and even disappear. The result is younger-looking, more confident patients.
Botox® is also preventative, keeping new wrinkles from developing and old wrinkles from deepening. With repeat treatments, results begin to last longer and longer.
Botox® can also improve your daily comfort. Patients with TMJ pain will find that this injectable treatment will relax the muscles around the jaw, therefore reducing discomfort.
What Results Can I Expect?
You can expect to see full results in just 7 to 10 days after your Botox® treatment. You will see a decrease in the appearance in those wrinkles and fine lines that you choose to target during treatment.
The Botox® process is fast and uncomplicated. Results typically last 3 to 6 months but can be refreshed with a repeat treatment.
If you sought Botox® treatment for TMJ issues, you may experience headache relief, ease of jaw tension, and a generally pain-free day.
