Botox from the dentist?

Botox cosmetic in Severna Park, Maryland

Even though it seems strange to some to visit the dentist for Botox and dermal fillers, a dentist understands the facial anatomy more than most physicians and can make skillful injections that are comfortable and produce natural-looking results. As part of her continuing education, Dr. Morgan completed a Board-approved training course in facial aesthetics to learn how to safely and effectively administer treatment to our patients. She is a certified Advanced Botox and Dermal Filler provider in the Severna Park area.

Cosmetic Concerns Treated with Botox

  • Migraine Treatment: Botox can treat migraines, headaches, and facial pain. Strategically placed Botox injections into certain areas of the face relax tense muscles. TMD, or temporomandibular joint disorders, are often causes of migraines and discomfort in the face. Botox can remove painful symptoms of TMJ disorders, including migraines.
  • Lipstick Lines and Smoker Wrinkles: Lipstick lines, also known as smokers’ wrinkles, are vertical lines that lead to the upper or lower lips. Botox can relax the muscles over the upper lip or below the lower lip. Relaxing these muscles helps to smooth vertical lines around the lips for a more youthful appearance.
  • Upper Lip Relaxation: Botox injections enhance the volume of the upper lips. Dr. Morgan can inject Botox into the middle of the upper lip to allow the muscles to relax. When the muscles relax, the upper lip curls upward for a fuller look.
  • Chin Relaxation: Chin dimples create wrinkles in the middle of the chin, which can age the face. When injected into this area, Botox relaxes the chin muscles and smooths out the appearance of chin wrinkles or dimpling. Botox can also stop patients from contracting their faces and creating new chin dimples.

Botox & Dermal Fillers What to Expect

botox and juvederm dentist in Severna Park, MDChances are you already know that Botox and dermal fillers are used to smooth away wrinkles in the face. There is a lot of science behind each particular brand and Dr. Morgan has carefully selected products that are proven safe and effective and deliver natural looking, long lasting results. Botox and Juvederm are from the maker Allergan, a trusted name in healthcare brands.

  • Botox is FDA approved to temporarily treat wrinkles and has been used for cosmetic purposes for nearly 20 years. Botox works by relaxing the muscles around the eyes and in the forehead that cause deep expression lines. The results of Botox can last up to four months. Botox is also FDA approved for the temporary relief of headaches and can be used to alleviate TMJ pain.
  • Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler from the makers of Botox. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the most popular compound for restoring lost volume and fullness to the face. Juvederm is used to target wrinkles and facial folds in the smile zone including the marionette lines (parenthesis) and smokers lines (tiny lines around the lips). Juvederm can be used to improve the appearance or fullness of the lips and correct symmetry issues.
