Botox is a popular muscle relaxer that is traditionally injected into the facial muscles to smooth out existing fine lines and wrinkles. It has important clinical uses in dentistry as well. For example, we use it to complement oral aesthetic irregularities, such as high lip line cases, denture issues, lip augmentation, and orthodontic cases where retraining the facial muscles is necessary.

The Basics
Derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, Botox has long been celebrated for its cosmetic applications. When used for facial enhancement, Botox temporarily relaxes muscles around the eyes and mouth, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead, resulting in smoother-looking skin in those areas.
Treatments with Botox are quick and convenient — requiring only 10 or 15 minutes for a single session in most cases — and do not require any downtime. Most patients tolerate the injections very well, experiencing very little, if any, discomfort. Side effects are also rare.
You will see some results right away, but it may take up to two weeks for the treatment to take full effect. On average, Botox lasts 3-6 months, depending on the type of treatment and other factors.
