TMJ Therapy & Facial Rejuvenation

TMJ therapy and facial rejuvenation

At Dental Holistix, we offer a holistic approach to oral health and facial aesthetics. Our minimally invasive treatments use botulinum toxin for both therapeutic and cosmetic purposes—always tailored to your unique needs.

Therapeutic benefits: TMJ and muscle tension relief

Botulinum toxin can provide relief for:

TMJ dysfunction and jaw clenching:

• Reduces muscle tension and alleviates pain caused by overactive jaw muscles.
• Helps manage symptoms like teeth grinding (bruxism) and facial discomfort.

Facial muscle imbalances:

• Used to address conditions like facial asymmetry or muscle spasms, often in coordination with other therapies.

Chronic headaches or discomfort:

• In some cases, treatment may reduce the frequency or severity of muscle-related headaches or tension.

Note: We offer a comprehensive consultation to determine whether this therapy is appropriate for your symptoms.

Cosmetic enhancements: non-surgical facial rejuvenation

Our facial aesthetic treatments are ideal for softening the appearance of expression lines caused by muscle movement. Common areas we treat include:

• Horizontal forehead lines
• Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
• Crow's feet (around the eyes)
• Bunny lines (on the nose)

While primarily effective on dynamic lines, regular treatments may also help prevent the deepening of static lines over time.

How it works

We use small, precise injections to target specific muscles. By reducing their activity, the skin appears smoother and more relaxed.

Your treatment journey:

1. Consultation: We assess your needs, health history, and aesthetic or therapeutic goals.
2. Preparation: The area is cleansed and numbing cream can be applied if needed.
3. Treatment: Injections take 10–30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
4. Aftercare: You’ll receive clear guidance on post-treatment do’s and don’ts to support optimal results.
