HEALTH AND BEAUTY- Cosmetic Services

In addition to providing cosmetic dental services, we also have a board certified internist in our practice that provides the following procedures:offers BOTOX®, Dysport® and dermal filler injections. These procedures are nonsurgical techniques that can reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face as well as enhance its overall appearance.

Botox
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows and inhibits muscle contraction under the skin to give it a smoother appearance while reducing or eliminating wrinkles.

BOTOX® is most commonly injected into the skin of the face or neck, and the results can be seen almost immediately and typically last three to four months. There are no special preparations for a BOTOX® injection and anesthesia usually is not necessary. Because there is no extensive recovery time following a procedure, BOTOX® is often referred to as the “lunch hour facelift.”

Botox® is commonly associated with cosmetic practices, for example, eliminating glabellar lines and facial wrinkles.  Recently however, Botox® has become an increasingly popular TMJ treatment.  Although some TMJ symptoms may improve without any specific treatment, Botox® offers fast and long-lasting relief for those that do not.

Here are several of the major benefits Botox® offers TMJ sufferers:

  • Elimination of headaches caused by nighttime grinding.
  • Minimization of lockjaw.
  • Reduced discomfort when using the jaw.
  • Reduced shoulder and neck pain.
  • Substantially reduced jaw tension.

 Dermafillers (restalin)
Dermal fillers are injections that are made of natural or synthetic materials, and also are used to reduce facial wrinkles and fine lines by restoring lost facial volume.

Restylane® and Perlane® are cosmetic fillers that are injected into areas of decreased volume that show up in your face over time due to aging, smoking and the effects of gravity and sun. These fillers are hydrophilic and the purpose is to add volume, thus diminishing or almost completely eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. These techniques are also used in conjunction with plastic facial surgery. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body and provides volume and fullness in the skin. Over time, women lose this substance 33% faster than men. Restylane® and Perlane® are modified to provide a volume-enhancing effect that will last longer than what would be expected from “naturally” occurring hyaluronic acid found in the body.

The Restylane® brand is the top selling dermal filler in the world. To date, over 1.4 million treatments of Restylane® have been done in more than 70 countries.
