One of the most well-known types of neuromodulators are botulinum toxin type A injections, which are commonly used for cosmetic and medical purposes. These injections temporarily block nerve signals to specific muscles, leading to muscle relaxation. Botulinum toxin injections, often marketed under brand names like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, are used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the muscles responsible for creating these wrinkles.

At Define Dental, both Drs. Liang and Yim are trained to administer cosmetic Dysport© injections for upper face wrinkles, as well as therapeutic treatment of bruxism or TMD. Effects typically last 3-4 months, before muscles gradually return to their pre-treatment appearance. Dosage depends on the strength and size of the muscle, and therefore unique to each patient.

A consult is required to determine the correct dosage needed to address your specific areas of concern.
