Botox & Filler

Botox and dermal fillers are non-surgical cosmetic treatments that enhance one's appearance. Botox, derived from botulinum toxin, is primarily employed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles. In contrast, dermal fillers, typically composed of hyaluronic acid or other safe substances, restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours by adding hydration and volume beneath the skin's surface.  

At Silver Smiles Orthodontics, we offer Botox and fillers as versatile tools in non-invasive rejuvenation, offering solutions for different aesthetic concerns, from wrinkle reduction to facial volume restoration. These treatments are often used individually or in combination to help individuals achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance without surgery.

Botox 

Botox is an injectable drug that temporarily relaxes facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is made from botulinum toxin type A, produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This neurotoxin blocks nerve signals to muscles, causing them to relax. When injected into facial muscles, it smooths the skin and reduces wrinkles caused by facial expressions such as frowning or squinting.

Botox is most commonly used to treat frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead creases, crow’s feet around the eyes, and lines around the mouth. It can also be used to reduce excessive sweating in the armpits. Aside from those, Botox injections in Atlanta, GA treat various other medical conditions, including migraines, excessive sweating, overactive bladders, and muscle spasms. It is also an effective treatment for TMJ disorders.

The Benefits of Botox 

• Botox is highly effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in areas like the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. 
• Botox is a minimally invasive treatment, making it a popular choice for individuals who want to enhance their appearance without surgery. 
• Botox injections have been approved for treating chronic migraines, relieving individuals of their frequent and severe headaches. 
• Botox treats muscle spasms and disorders like cervical dystonia by relieving overactive muscles.
• Botox injections can alleviate jaw tension and TMJ disorder symptoms by relaxing the jaw muscles and reducing pain and discomfort. 

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers in Atlanta, GA, are injectable treatments that restore volume to your face, filling in wrinkles and folds to give you a more youthful appearance. These injections contain hyaluronic acid (HA), which occurs naturally in the body. HA helps your skin retain moisture, which improves elasticity and tone. Your body produces less of this substance as you age, causing the skin to lose its plumpness and firmness. Dermal fillers help reverse this process by restoring lost volume and smoothing lines and creases. 

The Benefits of Dermal Fillers 

• Fillers can restore lost volume in the face, providing a more youthful and plump appearance to areas like the cheeks, temples, and lips. 
• The effects of dermal fillers are immediately visible, providing instant gratification for those seeking a more youthful look.
• Dermal filler treatments are noninvasive, making them an attractive option for individuals who want to avoid surgery and its associated downtime.
• Dermal fillers effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, providing a smoother complexion and a more youthful look. 
• Fillers enhance lip fullness and shape, creating natural-looking, plump lips and improving overall facial harmony.
