What is Botox?

Botox is a neuromodulator that softens fine lines and wrinkles and relieves muscle tension. This popular injectable medication primarily treats cosmetic concerns, but it can also relieve many symptoms of medical conditions.

Dr. Annie uses Botox injections to create natural outcomes that enhance your aesthetics and overall well-being.

How does Botox work?

Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. Botox prevents the release of the neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. This prevents your nerves from telling the affected muscles to move, causing it to paralyze temporarily.

As a result, the skin sitting on top of the muscles relaxes, and wrinkles in the area soften. Dr. Annie precisely injects Botox to relax muscles in specific areas, providing cosmetic enhancements and medical benefits with natural-looking outcomes.

What do dentists use Botox for?

Dr. Annie uses Botox for:


Fine lines and wrinkles

Your dentist can effectively diminish fine lines and wrinkles, providing you with a rejuvenated and smoother facial appearance.


Teeth grinding

Botox can relax your jaw muscles, relieving symptoms of bruxism (teeth grinding) like pain, stiffness, and inflammation. 


Enlarged masseter muscles

Injecting Botox into your jaw’s masseter muscles can relieve tension and slim your jaw’s appearance.

What can I expect from my Botox visit?

Your Botox visit at Burbank Dental Studio begins with a comprehensive consultation, where you openly discuss your cosmetic concerns and desired outcomes with Dr. Annie. During this initial assessment, she carefully examines the areas you wish to address with Botox, considering your facial anatomy to formulate a personalized treatment plan. 

Following the assessment, she precisely injects the medication into the targeted muscles. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, but your dentist may apply a numbing cream to enhance your comfort. 

After the injections, Dr. Annie guides you about activities to avoid and how to manage potential side effects. Botox typically has minimal side effects and no downtime. You can expect the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines to subside within one to two weeks. 

How long does Botox last?

Botox usually lasts for about three to four months before gradually wearing off. Your lifestyle, metabolism, and other factors may affect how quickly you metabolize the medication.
