How Botox & Dermal Fillers Work
What can Botox & Fillers be used for?
Reducing Facial Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Paired together, Botox and dermal fillers help address the source and severity of issues like creasing in your skin, deep wrinkles, and fine lines. Dr. Do can apply cosmetic medications throughout the face, including around your eyes, forehead, and jawline.
Restoring Lost Volume
It’s normal to lose some of the volume in our lips and cheeks as we age, especially if we’ve experienced tooth loss. This can also lead to creases in the skin. Injectable cosmetic fillers help smooth out and restore volume to your face, for a more youthful appearance.
Gummy Smiles
An overactive upper lip muscle can cause your lip to retract a bit higher than normal, creating the appearance of a gummy smile. By applying Botox at key points just under the lip, we can relax the muscle so that the lip drops lower in line with your teeth for improved aesthetics.
Myofascial Pain Management
Botox is a natural muscle relaxer. When administered by a skilled dentist, Botox is effective for managing muscle tension, joint pain, and headaches caused by temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD/TMJD) and excessive bruxism.
