Cosmetic Injectable – A Versatile Treatment
Cosmetic Injectable is a neurotoxin that is mostly known to rejuvenate the face and help calm fine lines and facial wrinkles. It is a safe and effective treatment when administered by a skilled professional and works by interfering with the signals that cause muscles to contract. It is a temporary treatment and must be readministered for ongoing results, but the results are known to last longer with regular treatments. Today, Cosmetic Injectable is used to relax the upper lip and counter a gummy smile, bring relief to the jaw joint as a treatment for teeth grinding, help patients get accustomed to dentures and can even thin the face.
Cosmetic Injectable Use in Dentistry
Dentists are the natural providers of Cosmetic Injectable as they are trained in facial anatomy and have intimate knowledge of the muscles, nerves and vessels that are part of a person’s aesthetics. Cosmetic dentists may use Cosmetic Injectable to enhance a patient’s smile or medically to provide relief from TMJ and other common disorders. The following are some of the common dentistry uses of Cosmetic Injectable:
Improve a gummy smile
Balance a crooked smile
Relax muscles associated with bruxism or teeth grinding
Bring relief of temporomandibular joint disorder or TMJ
Cosmetic dentists are common providers of Cosmetic Injectable because patients can incorporate Cosmetic Injectable treatments into their smile enhancement goals. For example, a gummy smile may be a result of the upper lip rising too high when smiling. Cosmetic Injectable can be used to relax the muscles of the upper lip to better control lip movement so it continues to cover the gums while smiling. And although a gummy smile isn’t a bad thing, is can cause discomfort due to gum dryness from exposure to too much air, which can lead to irritation.
Many muscles are used to smile. Sometimes patients feel self-conscious due to a crooked or uneven smile. Cosmetic Injectable can be a quick fix to help relax the right muscles and bring balance to your smile. A dentist is best qualified to do this type of procedure since they are familiar with the muscles that are used when you smile. Knowing where to inject Cosmetic Injectable and how much is the key to successful Cosmetic Injectable treatments, and dentists have the training, skill and experience you can trust.
Dental Cosmetic Injectable treatments extend beyond aesthetics and can be very therapeutic, bringing relief to spastic or tense muscles. When applied with skill, this neurotoxin can target the right muscles, allowing them to relax and provide relief to those with disorders such as bruxism or teeth grinding. If left untreated, bruxism can lead to broken or cracked teeth, chronic pain and TMJ disorder.

How long does Cosmetic Injectable last?
Anti-wrinkle muscle relaxant injections are temporary, typically taking 2 weeks to set in, and normally lasting 3 to 6 months. A follow up appointment may be required to top up the cosmetic injectable if you are new to the treatment, and you are not sure how many units are needed.
With regular treatments, the muscle relaxant effect often lasts longer as the muscles become accustomed to being in a relaxed state. Some people can develop a resistance to cosmetic injectable treatments, but this is very rare. Each patient is unique, so your dentist will work with you to find the best treatment scheduling for your needs.

Cosmetic Injectable myths
While Cosmetic Injectable is a neurotoxin, it is a safe and effective treatment with a range of therapeutic uses. Unfortunately, there are still myths that circulate regarding this treatment, so we will address that here.
The treatment is painful. While some patients may require numbing cream, overall, a Cosmetic Injectable is reported as a tiny pinch that lasts only a few seconds. This may be because the needle is very thin, and so many patients may not feel it.
Cosmetic Injectable is for mature patients. Cosmetic Injectable is a great anti-aging treatment and is best known for smoothing out fine lines and facial wrinkles. However, many younger patients enjoy Cosmetic Injectable treatments to stop lines and wrinkles from forming, to help them stop frowning or to enhance their smile. It is a versatile treatment and has many different uses.
Wrinkles get worse because of Cosmetic Injectable. This is just not true. Paralysing a muscle to stop it from contracting can not cause a wrinkle. In fact, it is the constant contraction of a muscle that creates a permanent line that can eventually turn into a wrinkle. Cosmetic Injectable helps stop the muscle from moving, allowing time for the skin to smooth out as collagen eventually helps fill in the line or wrinkle.
