Noticeable Results, No Surgery, and No Recovery Time
There are many different reasons patients choose to receive Botox treatment by a Union City, NJ oral surgeon, from wanting to remove fine lines and wrinkles to treating more severe conditions such as TMJ and chronic migraines. Botox treatments from Legacy Oral Surgery can relieve any of the symptoms making you feel less confident and help you achieve a more youthful, radiant appearance.
What Is Botox Cosmetic
Botox is a medication only prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is used as a temporary treatment for patients between the ages of 18 and 65. Botox treatments are quick and comfortable, and in only a few hours you begin to notice a difference in the way your skin looks and feels.
How Does Botox Work
Botox uses a special protein to block overactive nerve impulses and restrict muscle contractions. In doing so, Botox helps to relax your muscles beneath the skin, so fine lines and wrinkles become less visible. This gives your skin a healthy, more youthful appearance.
Depending on each individual case, the results can last between one and six months. Treatment is temporary, so when the Botox begins to wear off, the skin returns to the way it looked before treatment.
Botox is also used to relieve symptoms of TMJ, as well as provide comfort to patients receiving dental implants. In each of these cases, Botox reduces the amount of stress placed on the teeth and jaw so patients feel more comfortable and confident.
