Why Choose a Dentist for Your Botox and Dermal Filler Needs?
More and more people are turning to dentists for their Botox and dermal filler needs. Dentists are highly trained and have a more in-depth understanding of the anatomy of the face and oral structures than any other healthcare or medical aesthetics provider. They also routinely administer dental anesthetic injections quickly, comfortably, and relatively painlessly. Dentists are the “real” facial specialists, making them the most skilled and trusted providers of Botox and dermal filler injections.
Dermal Fillers - An Overview
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally produced by the body. It helps keep the skin retain its moisture and keeps it supple. As the years go by, hyaluronic acid becomes less abundant, and the skin loses its youthful fullness and elasticity. Moreover, the fat around the cheeks starts breaking down, causing volume loss, and wrinkles slowly begin to appear.
Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are popular for softening fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and lips and restoring fullness to the cheeks, under the eyes, and deep creases. Dermal fillers can also diminish scars and plump lips, leaving you looking and feeling your best.
Botox Cosmetic - An Overview
As the years go by, facial folds, wrinkles, and lines appear as a result of repeated facial expressions, including smiling, frowning, and squinting. Botox is an injectable neurotoxin derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected, it temporarily blocks the movement of targeted muscles, visibly reducing dynamic or expression-induced lines and wrinkles.
Botox is primarily used to improve moderate to severe forehead wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet, under-eye lines, smile lines, and marionette lines. Aside from its cosmetic uses, Dr. Leon may recommend using Botox to treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems. Symptoms of TMJ disorder include pain in or around the jaw, soreness, stiffness, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, or jaw clicking. When injected, Botox interferes with jaw contractions, providing relief from chronic TMJ and facial pain.
