Therapeutic Injectables & Botox Treatments

Therapeutic and cosmetic injectables and dermal fillers have gained popularity in recent times. As dentists spend maximum time working in patients’ mouths all day, they know the para-oral facial structures better than most.

Patients who suffer from Temporomandibular Disorder/Dysfunction, facial pain, clenching, and bruxism are caused by multiple factors. A thorough diagnosis of the disorder is carried out, following which the use of therapeutic injectables or botox (BTx-A) (Dysport), as it is commonly known, is used to reduce the symptoms and treat these chronic cases. The results are so positive that BTx-A is fast becoming a first-line treatment modality. With botox, correction of a gummy smile is one of the conservative options for a quick result.

Dermal Filler Treatments

As we age, our skin begins to lose collagen and elasticity, resulting in wrinkles, fine lines and a loss of volume. Sun exposure, smoking and pollution all contribute to the breakdown of collagen.

Dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid) help to add volume and enhance certain facial areas, most commonly the lips. Its use is safe and effective as it is derived from a natural protein always present in our skin.

The results are almost immediate and usually last between 4-6 months.

There are very few side effects, which would be discussed with you in detail, most common would be very slight bleeding at the injection site and occasional bruising or swelling of the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do therapeutic injectables hurt?

The discomfort you feel depends on the specific injectable used and your pain tolerance, but most people report only minor discomfort. To further minimise discomfort, your aesthetic professional may use a topical anaesthetic or ice to numb the treatment area before injecting.
How long do dermal fillers last?

The length of time dermal fillers last can vary depending on the type of filler used and the individual. However, most dermal fillers provide results that last for several months to a year before touch-ups may be necessary.
How can botox correct a gummy smile?

Botox can be used to relax the muscles that control the upward movement of the lip, which can reduce the amount of gum tissue exposed when smiling.
What are the side effects of therapeutic injectables?

Generally, therapeutic injectables are very safe with minimal side effects. The most common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These side effects typically resolve within a few days. More severe side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions, infection, and nerve damage.
