FAQ
Botox is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, reducing their activity. This makes Botox highly effective for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. In cosmetic treatments, Botox is commonly used to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the muscles that cause them. Therapeutically, Botox can treat conditions like TMJ dysfunction, teeth grinding, and chronic headaches by alleviating muscle tension. It's a quick, minimally invasive treatment with noticeable results.

Botox is a trusted treatment when administered by a skilled professional like Dr. Reza at Aqua Blue Dental. Dr. Reza ensures Botox is used effectively and safely, whether for TMJ disorders or facial rejuvenation.

For tailored advice and to discuss how Botox can meet your needs, a consultation with Dr. Reza is essential.
Botox injections are generally well-tolerated and cause minimal discomfort. The procedure involves using a very fine needle, which often results in only a slight pinching or stinging sensation. Most patients describe the sensation as mild and brief.
Dr. Reza at Aqua Blue Dental prioritizes your comfort during the procedure and can provide options to minimize any potential discomfort. Overall, the quick and relatively painless nature of Botox injections makes them a popular choice for both medical and cosmetic purposes.
At Aqua Blue Dental, Dr. Reza will start with a consultation to ensure Botox is right for you. In most cases, your injections can be done the same day.
To minimize discomfort, Dr. Reza may apply a topical numbing gel, though many patients don't need it. Using a fine needle, she will inject Botox precisely into the targeted muscles. You might feel a brief pinch or pressure.
The procedure is quick with no downtime, so you can return to your normal activities immediately. Minor swelling or pinpoint bruising will quickly resolve on its own.
The effects of Botox typically begin to take shape within 3 to 5 days after the treatment. You may start to notice a gradual improvement in the targeted areas as the Botox starts to relax the muscles. Full results are usually visible within 1 to 2 weeks.
The results of Botox generally last between 3 to 4 months. After this period, the muscle activity gradually returns, and you may choose to have follow-up treatments to maintain your results.
Explore Botox Benefit:
Bruxism and TMJ Relief: Say goodbye to teeth grinding and jaw pain! Botox relaxes the masseter muscle, easing tension and reducing the discomfort associated with TMJ disorders and bruxism, while also minimizing related headaches and tooth damage.
Cosmetic Smile Enhancements: Enhance your smile with subtle changes. Botox can address a gummy smile by limiting the rise of the upper lip, revealing less gum tissue for a more balanced look.
Facial Pain Management: If new dentures or orthodontic treatment have caused muscle spasms or pain, Botox can provide relief by relaxing the affected muscles during the adjustment period.
Anti-Aging Solutions: Smooth out lines and wrinkles with Botox. From frown lines to crow’s feet, Dr. Reza Entezarion uses Botox to rejuvenate your appearance, offering options like jawline softening and eyebrow lifts for a refreshed, youthful look.
