What Is Botox?
As the years go by, repeated expressions like smiling, squinting, or frowning can lead to the appearance of dynamic lines and wrinkles. Botox is an injectable neurotoxin that blocks nerve signals to select muscles, temporarily relaxing them and preventing them from contracting, which helps smooth away these lines and wrinkles.
Cosmetic Application: Botox is used in facial aesthetics to visibly reduce wrinkles on the forehead, crow's feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows, known as the "11s" or glabellar lines. It offers a non-surgical solution to provide eyebrow lifts, Nefertiti lifts for jawline contouring, smoothing away neck wrinkles, and addressing smoker/water bottle lines that appear above the top lip and below the nose. The injectable neuromodulator delivers subtle, natural-looking results, leaving you looking refreshed with fewer lines and wrinkles.
Therapeutic Applications: Aside from its cosmetic applications, Botox offers a non-surgical solution for treating chronic TMJ pain by relaxing select jaw muscles. Most patients report significant relief, especially those with TMJ pain resulting from teeth grinding and clenching or stress disorders. Botox can also help provide relief from headaches and migraines by minimizing muscle contractions that lead to tension and discomfort.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the skin. It helps retain moisture, promotes skin elasticity, and maintains a hydrated, youthful appearance. As the years go by, HA levels tend to decrease in the skin, leading to loss of facial volume and lines, folds, and wrinkles that are present even when the face is at rest.
Cosmetic Benefits of Dermal Fillers: At John Harman Dental Care, we offer Juvéderm Ultra XC, a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler option used to add volume to the lips, correct nasolabial folds, which are creases extending from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. It also helps soften marionette lines, which run down from the corner of the lips toward the chin, as well as smokers/water bottle lines around the mouth.
Which Cosmetic Injectable Is Right for You?
Determining the cosmetic injectable right for you will depend on your unique needs and desired treatment outcomes. We invite you to consult with Dr. Harman who will evaluate your concerns and help you determine whether Botox, dermal fillers, or a combination of both is the ideal solution to help you achieve your desired treatment outcomes.
Why Choose a Dentist for Your Botox and Dermal Filler Needs?
More and more men and women are turning to dentists for their Botox and dermal filler needs. Dentists possess unique qualifications that make them excellent providers of cosmetic injectables, including the following:
Expert Knowledge of Facial Anatomy: Dentists are the true facial "experts" with extensive training and knowledge of the anatomy of the face, head, and neck, including the muscles, nerves, and bone structure, more so than any other healthcare or medical aesthetics provider. This deep knowledge and understanding will ensure your treatments are performed with exceptional precision, delivering the safest and most effective outcomes.
Experience with Injections: Dentists have years of experience administering local anesthetic injections. Their skill and expertise ensure your Botox or dermal filler treatments are performed with minimal discomfort and risk of complications.
Focus on Aesthetics: Dentists have extensive training and expertise in cosmetic and restorative dentistry and have a keen eye for aesthetics. Their eye for delivering balanced and harmonious smiles makes them perfect for cosmetic injectable treatments designed to soften the effects of time and restore your youthful appearance.
Comprehensive Approach to Facial Enhancement: Botox and dermal filler treatment can complement cosmetic dental procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, or implant dentistry, enhancing your facial aesthetics. At Dr. John Harman Dental Care, we strive to provide you with the best possible care and natural-looking transformations.
