Therapeutic & Cosmetic Botox
Cosmetic BOTOX
Cosmetic BOTOX procedures are common for patients who want to look more youthful. Many patients choose to accompany their cosmetic dental procedures, such as a smile makeover, with BOTOX. Cosmetic BOTOX treatment helps minimize forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.
If you have a “gummy” smile and don’t like how much upper gum tissue shows when you smile, BOTOX can also help. Treatment weakens the muscles around your upper lip, causing it to move less when you smile, so less gum tissue shows.
