How Does BOTOX® Work?
BOTOX® works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for muscle contractions. When injected in small, carefully-controlled amounts, it relaxes the targeted muscles without affecting the surrounding tissue. This ultimately softens the fine lines caused by repeated muscle movement, and can also relieve tension that is contributing to TMJ problems. Better yet, treatment is quick, comes with minimal downtime, and results typically last for several months.
BOTOX® Treatment for Cosmetic Improvement
One of the most popular applications of BOTOX® involves using it to address the fine lines and wrinkles that develop around the mouth, nose, and forehead over time. Sometimes called expression lines, they can form between the brows, across the forehead, and around the lips. By relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for these movements, BOTOX® smooths skin and restores a more refreshed, youthful appearance.
BOTOX® Treatment for TMJ Pain
BOTOX® can also help patients who suffer from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder that causes chronic jaw pain, as well as nighttime teeth grinding, or bruxism. When the facial muscles surrounding the jaws are overactive or chronically tense, the result can be persistent jaw pain, headaches, facial soreness, worn teeth, and disrupted sleep. Targeted BOTOX® injections into these muscles can relieve tension and significantly decrease chronic pain.

When it comes to BOTOX®, the advantages speak for themselves:
