BOTOX Cosmetic treatment is a revolutionary approach to reversing the effects of facial wrinkles. “Crow’s feet”, worry lines and laugh lines can all be a thing of the past. These are referred to as “dynamic wrinkle lines” and all are treatable with this procedure. Cosmetic denervation is the process of injecting BOTOX Cosmetic into the tiny facial muscles that create the wrinkles.

BOTOX Cosmetic Injections are performed with topical skin anesthetic cream, or without anesthesia, because they are virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. It usually takes a few days for the injections to take effect. The effect is not permanent and injections may need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects.

Not Just for Wrinkles Anymore

Trinity Dental Arts now provides BOTOX Treatment to our patients as a cutting-edge alternative for migraine headaches, facial pain, and TMJ Therapy! BOTOX injections have proven to be very effective in relieving pain with TMJ disorders, reducing bruxism (grinding of teeth) and reducing or even eliminating tension-type migraines.

In February 2011, the FDA approved the use of botulinum toxin (BOTOX) for a chronic migraine and facial pain as a primary treatment. This highly purified protein has proven very effective in pain relief from muscle sources. Some studies suggest that approximately 85% of TMJ and other facial pain disorders are muscles related. BOTOX affects muscles by decreasing the intensity of muscle contractions, allowing the muscles to still function, but to relax them just enough to prevent intense contraction, which can cause the pain along with tooth damage.

A complete dental and medical evaluation is required for proper diagnosis.
