Facial Rejuvenation

Q: How does Botox help with TMJ symptoms?

The muscle relaxing properties of Botox can relieve muscle tension in the jaw and facial muscles around the TMJ, the joint where your lower jaw connects to your skull. It can relieve the inflammation that in turn relieves pain.

Q: Does PDO Threading involve surgery?

PDO threading is considered to be a non surgical procedure because it does not involve cutting into the tissue. A few sutures are placed in the facial skin that help lift and smooth it, in part by encouraging the natural production of collagen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Botox safe?

Botox has been used for a variety of purposes for many years with very little side effects and risks. The common concern is the origin of Botox, which is a bacteria that can make you sick when ingested. However, when it is injected into the skin, it provides muscle relaxation that has health and cosmetic benefits.

What other treatments are available for TMJ disorder?

Botox is not the only way to treat TMJ disorder. TMJ symptoms may subside by applying ice and resting your jaw as much as possible. In some cases, your dentist can provide you with a bite splint to help keep the jaw in proper alignment. Surgery may be recommended if no other treatments are effective.
