Botox Injection


Botox is made from Botulinum, which, while is a food poisoning pathogenic bacteria, becomes safe as the toxicity is removed before it's used in Botox treatments.

 

By injecting Botulinum directly into the atrophied hardened muscle, it has the effect of softening and relaxing the muscle.

 

Overseas, it has been tremendously effective in treating muscle atrophy in children.



The Use of Botox in Dentistry

For those who clench their teeth due to stress or temporomandibular joint disease, botox is injected into part of the masseter muscle. This helps the muscles relax. 

For patients with a 'Gummy Smile'

A gummy smile involves the upper lip raising when laughing, exposing the gums. 

By injecting a small amount of Botox into the muscle part beside the nose, the muscles relax and it becomes difficult to see the gums.
