Say Goodbye to Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles may be a natural part of age, but that doesn’t mean you have to succumb to them. Facial esthetics provide patients who are young at heart or are aging early as a result of genetics, stress, and environmental factors the opportunity to reverse signs of aging. Your face is one of the first areas to begin aging, revealing wrinkles around the eyes, lips, nose, and forehead. As collagen production declines, the cheeks will also start to sink in and sag, creating an undefined jawline and make you appear haggard and much older than your years.

BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are primarily used for fine lines and wrinkles. When injected directly into the underlying tissues, it suppresses the contraction of nearby muscles so that the facial creases are immediately smoothed. JUVÉDERM® is a type of dermal filler that is used as a way of adding volume to the cheeks and lips so that facial contours are smoother and more defined. When performed by an expert, you can enjoy a more youthful and energetic countenance and boost in self-confidence.

Improve Your Smile’s Appearance

Take a look in the mirror and inspect your smile for a moment. Do you notice more gums than teeth? Excess gum tissue is a common concern that causes what is known as a “gummy smile,” and is twice as more likely to occur in women than men. This condition is traditionally treated with gum contouring using scalpel and sutures. But if you are looking for a less invasive treatment, Dr. Bridges can use BOTOX® to improve your smile’s appearance by making a few strategically placed injections into your upper lip. This will relax the lip elevators and reduce the amount of gum shown when smiling. If thin lips are the reason for your gum exposure, volume can be added to your lips using JUVÉDERM® dermal filler.

Suffer From Headaches or TMJ Disorder?

Dr. Bridges can also use BOTOX® as a conservative treatment for treating headaches as related to TMJ disorder and jaw clenching. When the temporomandibular joints located on either side of the jaw become irritated or inflamed, it can result in chronic headaches, jaw pain, lockjaw, and make chewing difficult. By injecting BOTOX® into the surrounding jaw muscles, your muscles will immediately relax and reduce tension in the jaw, giving the TMJs time to heal.
