To revitalize the smooth, youthful appearance of your skin, we offer BOTOX® in Mt Holly.

What Is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is the bacteria, botulinum toxin, in diluted form.

Wrinkle Treatment

When injected into overworked muscles, the muscles relax. This reduces the appearance of signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles. Optimal results usually show up between five to ten days after your treatment and will last anywhere between three to six months.

TMJ Treatment

BOTOX® has been used medically for decades as a way to treat muscle spasms and pain. When injected into spasming or damaged muscles, BOTOX® prevents unconscious movements that can result in severe pain and slow healing. If you experience pain in or around your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), you may be able to find relief through BOTOX®. When injected into the right facial muscles, it can relieve a lot of the tension that you feel. BOTOX® can reduce headaches, tension, and pain caused by jaw strain. It can even minimize your likelihood of developing lockjaw.

Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?

You are probably not a good candidate for BOTOX® if you are pregnant, have certain neuromuscular diseases, have skin disorders, or have deep facial scars.  This is why it’s important that you discuss your medical history with your dentist. Ideal candidates for BOTOX® are usually in their late 20s or older and want to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. BOTOX® is generally used to correct the following facial imperfections:

  • Crow’s feet
  • Muscle spasms
  • Lines between the eyebrows
  • Horizontal lines on the forehead
  • Smoker’s lines around the lips
  • Lines at the corners of the mouth
