The Therapeutic Neurotoxin

Cosmetic Injectable is a neurotoxic protein that acts on the nervous system to interfere with signals that cause muscles to contract. While large amounts may not be good for health, when administered by a professional in controlled amounts, it is not only harmless but helpful. It can bring relief to conditions that cause facial pain, such as bruxism or teeth grinding, and can enhance a smile through careful administration to muscles around the mouth and jaw area.

Common Uses of Cosmetic Injectable

Cosmetic Injectable is widely known for rejuvenating the face by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is considered an anti-aging treatment and sometimes called a “wrinkle relaxer,” but it is also used medically to provide relief of migraines, neck spasms and excessive sweating. The following are some of the more common uses of Cosmetic Injectable in both medicine and dentistry:



Reduction of fine lines and facial wrinkles



Ease symptoms of bruxism or teeth grinding



Relax the upper lip to enhance the smile



Relief of temporomandibular disorder or TMD

Cosmetic Injectable and Dentistry

Dentists are recognised as expert Cosmetic Injectable providers because they have training in facial anatomy as well as anatomy and structure of the mouth and teeth. It is a natural add-on service, making it convenient for patients to have their Cosmetic Injectable treatments during routine dental treatment.

But dentists aren’t simply giving Cosmetic Injectable to anyone who wants it, it is used strategically to help enhance a smile, improve oral health and as an anti-aging service.

Cosmetic Injectable for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD)

TMD or sometimes known as TMJ, are disorders that cause excessive pain in the jaw joint area and can put excessive strain on teeth. Ongoing clenching of the jaw or teeth grinding cause TMD and can lead to chronic pain, dental problems and tooth loss.

Alternatively, the disorder may be a result of stress or trauma to the jaw, head or neck or may be the result of a misaligned jawbone. Cosmetic Injectable is an ideal treatment to relax the muscles and help ease the pain and problems associated with TMD.

Improve a Gummy Smile

A gummy smile can be a result of small teeth, large gums or an upper lip that rises too high when smiling. It can cause gum dryness and increase the risk of infection and make some patients feel self-conscious about their smile. No matter what the cause, Cosmetic Injectable administered in the right places can help relax the upper lip so patients can smile with ease.

Make Dentures Comfortable

Dentures are great for replacing missing teeth, but if the lips have become repositioned due to going without teeth, wearing dentures can be a difficult adjustment. Cosmetic Injectable treatments will help relax and retrain the muscles around your new dentures so you are more comfortable as you get used to them.

Ease Teeth Grinding

Teeth grinding, or bruxism is often chronic and due to stress. The disorder is more prevalent than ever in today’s world and can lead to excessive tooth wear, tooth cracking and breakage, and eventually, tooth loss. The pain of bruxism can be chronic, making it difficult to eat and talk. Cosmetic Injectable can help relax the jaw muscles and may be used alone or with night guard appliances to help ease the muscles.

How long does Cosmetic Injectable last?

Anti-wrinkle muscle relaxant injections are temporary, typically taking 2 weeks to set in, and normally lasting 3 to 6 months. A follow up appointment may be required to top up the cosmetic injectable if you are new to the treatment, and you are not sure how many units are needed.

With regular treatments, the muscle relaxant effect often lasts longer as the muscles become accustomed to being in a relaxed state. Some people can develop a resistance to cosmetic injectable treatments, but this is very rare. Each patient is unique, so your dentist will work with you to find the best treatment scheduling for your needs.

Cosmetic Injectable myths

With the rise in popularity of cosmetic injectable treatments, some misconceptions still remain:

\

Cosmetic Injectable treatments are painful. That is not true; while this treatment is an injection with a needle, the needle is very thin, and patients often report they only feel a quick pinch at the injection site.

\

Cosmetic Injectable is only used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This is not true, as there are many concerns that may be addressed with this treatment, such as jaw problems and gummy smiles.

\

Wrinkles worsen once cosmetic injectable is stopped. This is a myth, as the neurotoxin cannot cause wrinkles, contracting and creasing the skin does. Once cosmetic injectable wears off, the skin may simply return to the state it was in before cosmetic injectable.
