BOTOX Therapy

Dr. Holmes utilizes this option with remarkable success because he knows where, when and how much to administer.  When used for headache pain it is important that Botox not be administered prior to the establishment of a TMJ diagnosis or as a primary treatment option because most patients have an underlying occlusal or joint problem that should be corrected first to achieve the highest degree of efficacy.

This therapeutic and cosmetic service is incredibly quick, often less than 10-minutes, and requires no recovery period. The procedure requires a few tiny injections that block nerve impulses to the targeted muscles. This decreased muscle activity helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet as well as treats the pain issues mentioned above.

What Is BOTOX ®?

When used for cosmetic treatment it can help you reduce the appearance of wrinkles around your eyes and forehead. That’s not all BOTOX can be used for, though. We may also recommend treatment if you struggle with migraines, TMJ dysfunction, or routine teeth grinding (bruxism).

When used specifically for wrinkles, BOTOX works by temporarily blocking the nerve impulses responsible for creating wrinkles in the first place. Treatment takes approximately 10 minutes and comes with little to no downtime or recovery. Afterwards, you can look forward to enjoying your results for between three and six months.
