Botox (Botulinum Toxin) is a manufactured injectable medication used therapeutically to reduce the strength of targeted muscle tissue.
In 2002 FDA approved on-label use is treatment of moderate to severe wrinkling in the certain areas of face. Licensed dentists with appropriate training can legally prescribe an FDA approved medication for off-label use in any way that is considered standard of care and benefit to the patient.
At Dental Arts of Huntley, we use Botox cosmetic A and Xeomin. Once injected it takes approximately 1-2 hours to bind to the nerve. Clinical effects are visible after 10-12 days. Most commonly re-treatment is necessary every 3-4 months. It is not recommended to retreat a patient more frequently than 3 months. As the effect wears off, Strength gradually returns but wrinkles are not any worse than baseline.

Produced naturally in your body, hyaluronic acid adds volume underneath facial skin along with fat cells, collagen and elastin. As you get older, natural hyaluronic acid reserves begin to break down but this can be remedied with dermal fillers that reduce wrinkles and fine lines and creates plumper lips. Just a small amount of dermal fillers are needed to make a noticeable difference to your image, taking years off your appearance.
Typically fillers are used to enhance smile lines, corners of the mouth, lips and marionette lines.
Usable on its own or together with other treatments such as Botulinum Toxin (Botox) injections and laser resurfacing, the effects of a dermal filler are similar to that of a non-surgical facelift. The procedure is suitable for all types of skin and no allergies will be triggered as hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the body, making it safe to use on any individual.
Typically fillers are used to enhance smile lines, corners of the mouth, lips and marionette lines.
