Botox for Facial Aesthetics

Botox for facial aesthetics is one of the injectable treatment options we provide at Shores Dental Spa for patients who want to soften the appearance of targeted expression lines while maintaining natural facial movement. Dr. Tanya Shores brings extensive knowledge of facial anatomy to treatment planning as a Faculty Member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics.

Your lines don’t define you!

Get the subtle results you’ve been looking for.

You can get the natural results you’re looking for, and you can get treated in both frown lines and crow’s feet areas at the same time — that’s the beauty of BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA).

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only FDA-approved treatment to temporarily improve both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet in adults.

What can you expect from BOTOX® Cosmetic?

How does it work?

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily reduces this muscle activity so you’ll begin to notice a visible smoothing of these lines.

For temporary improvement of moderate to severe crow’s feet, your doctor will inject BOTOX® Cosmetic into the muscle surrounding the sides of your eyes — called the orbicularis oculi muscles.

Real results that don’t look “overdone”

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a technique – sensitive treatment. You should not lose the ability to show expression when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy. It is important to talk to your provider about the results you want from treatment.

Does the treatment hurt?

Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) feels like a pinch. Your provider may use ice to numb the treatment area. If you are concerned about discomfort, your provider may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.

How long does treatment take?

The treatment takes approximately 10 minutes and requires minimal downtime or recovery—it’s often called a “lunchtime procedure.”

What were common side effects seen in clinical studies?

Three percent of patients experienced eyelid drooping in the frown lines studies and 1% of patients experienced eyelid swelling in the crow’s feet studies. Other possible side effects include: discomfort or pain at the injection site; headache; and eye problems: double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, and swelling of your eyelids. These are not all of the possible serious side effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic.

Botox for TMJ

Botox may also be discussed for patients experiencing concerns related to TMJ and overactive jaw muscles. At Shores Dental Spa, Dr. Shores’ dental training and experience with head and neck anatomy provide an important perspective when evaluating jaw clenching, bruxism, orofacial discomfort, muscle tension around the jaw, and headaches that may accompany TMJ-related muscle tension.

TMJ-related Botox differs from cosmetic Botox because the treatment goal and injection sites are different. Rather than targeting facial expression lines, therapeutic treatment may involve muscles involved in jaw movement, including the masseter muscles. By reducing excessive muscle activity in selected areas, Botox may help manage symptoms associated with clenching or grinding when it is appropriate for the individual patient.

Dr. Shores has training in injectable therapy for TMJ/orofacial pain and bruxism through her work in facial esthetics and dentistry. Before recommending treatment, we consider the source of the patient’s symptoms, jaw function, muscle activity, and whether Botox fits into a broader dental or TMJ treatment plan.

Anti-Aging Botox Treatments

Some adults begin considering Botox in their late 20s or early 30s, while others start later. We do not base treatment on age alone; facial movement, existing lines, and individual goals help guide whether treatment is appropriate.

Treatment timing is individual. Rather than following a set age, we look at facial movement, existing lines, treatment goals, and the areas a patient would like to address. Botox temporarily reduces activity in targeted muscles, which can soften existing expression lines and may help limit the repeated movement that contributes to those lines becoming more noticeable over time.

Botox can also be part of a broader facial esthetic plan. Depending on the concern, Dr. Shores may discuss whether another option, such as a dermal filler or another facial esthetic treatment, is better suited to restoring volume or addressing a different facial feature.

Dermal Fillers & Other Facial Esthetic Treatments

Botox addresses muscle activity, while dermal fillers and other facial esthetic treatments can serve different purposes. At Shores Dental Spa, we consider the area being treated, the type of change a patient wants to make, and how different treatments may work together before discussing an individualized plan.

KYBELLA®

Is your chin taking over your profile?

Maybe that extra fullness beneath your chin is something you’ve had your whole life, something that developed over the years, or something you noticed recently. This may be a condition called submental fullness, or “double chin.”

How does KYBELLA® work?

When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® permanently destroys fat cells. Your body’s natural metabolism then processes the fat cleared from the treatment area. Once the fat cells are gone, you’re left with a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down fat.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age do people typically start BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments?
There is no fixed age to begin BOTOX® Cosmetic. Some people start in their late 20s or early 30s as a preventive step, while others begin later to reduce visible lines. The timing usually depends on individual concerns and how the skin changes over time.
Can BOTOX® Cosmetic be combined with other facial treatments?
Yes, BOTOX® Cosmetic is often used alongside other treatments depending on the desired outcome. It may be paired with fillers, skincare treatments, or other esthetic procedures to address multiple concerns such as volume, texture, and fine lines.
What should I avoid after getting BOTOX® Cosmetic?
After treatment, it is generally recommended to avoid rubbing the treated area, lying flat for several hours, or engaging in intense physical activity the same day. These precautions help ensure the product settles properly in the targeted muscles.
