How Does A Neurotoxin Work?
Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport are neurotoxins that are injected into muscle tissue. They act upon nerve impulses, affecting the muscle’s action. Botox works to relax the treated muscle, allowing tension to be released and/or the skin to become smoother.
Botox and Dysport injections are quick, relatively painless, and can last up to 6 months or more. Dr. Amy can provide follow-up treatments as needed in our dental office and work with you to manage symptoms when using Botox to treat headaches and TMJ-related concerns.
