At Nelson Dental Care, we want to help our patients reach their health and beauty goals, which is why we offer Botox at our practice. You may think about how Botox can erase your wrinkles, but did you know that it has additional health and aesthetic benefits? Keep reading to learn more about Botox in Metairie, why we use it, and the advantages of receiving this treatment.
What is Botox?
Botox’s full name is botulinum toxin, which can be used to block the release of acetylcholine when injected to specific areas. This causes the affected muscles to become completely paralyzed, which allows them to relax. That’s why Botox is routinely used to eliminate wrinkles—it keeps your muscles from causing movement in your face. However, Botox is also used to treat a wide-range of health problems, which is why we offer it at our office. It can be used in certain cosmetic and therapeutic procedures, but research continues to show that it can be utilized to treat much more.
Why Do We Offer Botox?
While Botox can be used for eye problems, wrinkles, muscle spasms, chronic sweating, excessive drooling, and much more, we offer it for different reasons. Botox can be used to treat TMJ disorder—a jaw joint disorder that can affect the feel and function of your jawbone. Additionally, we use Botox in tandem with other cosmetic treatments to give our patients the beautiful results they desire. For example, a patient may elect for cosmetic treatments that make their smile look more youthful, but we can use Botox to make sure that their mouth and face match their new appearance.
