Botox and Dermal Fillers in Ardmore, OK
Skin enhancements like Botox and fillers can create smoother skin. The injectables that we offer in our offices include:
Botox
Botox is one of the most popular and effective treatments for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. This FDA-approved injection relaxes wrinkle-causing muscles, giving you smoother, younger-looking skin. It commonly treats frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles, helping patients achieve a refreshed and natural look. Botox is a fast, no-downtime treatment—perfect for busy people who want quick results.
In addition to cosmetic benefits, you can also use Botox for medical purposes. Many people find relief from chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and TMJ-related jaw tension through Botox treatments. By relaxing overactive muscles, Botox can significantly improve both comfort and confidence. The procedure is virtually painless; results typically last three to four months before you need a touch-up.
Botox is a safe and customizable treatment that we can adjust to match each patient’s needs. Whether you want to soften deep wrinkles or prevent new ones from forming, Botox can help you maintain a youthful and refreshed appearance. Skillfully administered, it enhances your natural beauty while keeping your facial expressions soft and natural, never overdone.
Xeomin
Xeomin is a highly effective botulinum toxin treatment that reduces facial wrinkles and fine lines. Like Botox, Xeomin relaxes facial muscles to smooth out frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. However, Xeomin is unique because it contains no additives or preservatives, making it a pure-form injectable. This reduces the risk of resistance over time, ensuring long-lasting, consistent results for patients who receive repeated treatments.
One of the major benefits of Xeomin is its natural-looking results. Because it contains only pure ingredients, it works gradually for natural-looking results, never overdone or frozen. Patients typically notice visible improvements within a few days, with full effects developing in about a week. The results last three to four months, giving you a refreshed and youthful look with minimal upkeep.
Xeomin is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a simple, effective, and natural approach to wrinkle reduction. Xeomin is a safe choice, whether it’s your first time or switching from Botox. With expert administration, Xeomin can enhance your facial appearance while allowing you to maintain full expression and natural movement.
Juvederm
Juvederm is a leading dermal filler designed to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. It uses hyaluronic acid (a natural body substance) to instantly plump skin and smooth wrinkles. While Botox and Xeomin relax muscles, Juvederm fills in lines and adds volume, perfect for smile lines, marionette lines, or hollow cheeks and lips. Results look natural and last.
One of Juvederm’s biggest advantages is its customizable results. Juvederm helps you achieve your ideal look—from plump lips to lifted cheeks—with natural-looking results. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and provides immediate improvements with minimal downtime. Results typically last six months to a year, depending on the specific product used and the treatment area.
Juvederm is perfect for those looking to restore youthful fullness and smooth out fine lines without surgery. The natural hyaluronic acid formula keeps skin hydrated and firm, enhancing beauty with a soft, supple finish. Juvederm helps you look fresh and youthful, whether you’re preventing wrinkles or enhancing your natural beauty.
Getting Botox and Dermal Fillers From Your Dentist
When people think of Botox and dermal fillers, they often picture dermatologists or cosmetic surgeons performing the treatments. However, dentists are some of the most qualified professionals to administer these injectables safely and effectively. Dentists understand facial structure perfectly, making them ideal for safe, precise Botox and filler treatments.
Expertise in Facial Muscles and Structure
Dentists spend years studying facial muscles, nerves, and bone structure. They work with patients’ jawlines, cheeks, lips, and surrounding muscles daily to improve function and appearance. This makes them skilled at determining the locations for Botox and dermal filler injections. Dentists use their expertise to give you natural results—whether smoothing wrinkles, plumping lips, or easing jaw tension.
Precise Injection Techniques for Natural Results
Dentists give injections daily (like numbing your gums), so their steady hands make treatments precise and comfortable. Their ability to target specific areas creates subtle, balanced, and natural-looking enhancements. Dentists specialize in natural-looking results—smoothing wrinkles, enhancing lips, or restoring facial volume.
Botox for More Than Just Wrinkles
Many people don’t realize that Botox is not just for cosmetic enhancement—it also provides therapeutic benefits. Dentists commonly use Botox to treat TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, jaw clenching, and teeth grinding (bruxism). By relaxing overactive facial muscles, Botox can relieve pain, reduce jaw tension, and prevent excessive tooth wear. This makes dentists an excellent choice for Botox aesthetics or pain relief treatments.
Convenience and Comprehensive Care
Getting Botox or fillers from a dentist can be more convenient than visiting a separate cosmetic specialist. Many dentists now offer Botox and fillers during regular checkups, so you can refresh your look without extra appointments. Plus, their expertise in facial structure helps create natural results that work perfectly with your smile.
Safe, Professional, and Comfortable Environment
Dentists operate in highly regulated, sterile environments, ensuring safe and hygienic procedures. Because dentists work carefully around the mouth and face every day, they’re prepared to handle any surprises. Plus, most dentists use topical anesthetics or numbing agents to make injections more comfortable, providing a pain-free experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about Botox and dermal fillers.
How long after Botox can I work out?
After Botox, we recommend waiting at least 4 hours before exercising. Physical activity can spread the toxin to unintended areas. Avoid working out for 24 hours post-treatment for best results.
This allows the Botox to settle properly in the targeted muscles. After a few hours, light activities like walking are usually fine.
Does Botox cause headaches or migraines?
Botox typically doesn’t cause headaches or migraines, but doctors often use it to treat chronic migraines. Some patients might experience mild headaches immediately after treatment, but these headaches usually subside quickly.
If you develop persistent headaches after Botox, contact your provider. Most patients find that Botox reduces their headache frequency rather than triggering them.
Will people notice I had Botox?
Skilled Botox injections create subtle results. An experienced practitioner will aim for natural-looking results. Most people won’t notice you’ve had treatment.
Moreover, some people might notice a refreshed or more youthful appearance. The effects develop gradually over a few days, avoiding an apparent sudden change.
Is Juvederm better than Botox?
Juvederm and Botox serve different purposes. Botox relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles. Juvederm adds volume to fill lines and enhance features. Neither is “better” overall.
The best choice depends on your specific concerns and goals. Often, people use both treatments together for a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.
Do fillers work after 60?
Fillers can work effectively for people over 60. Age doesn’t disqualify you from treatment, but older skin may require different techniques or filler types. Results can be very natural-looking, restoring lost volume.
However, the results might vary depending on individual skin condition and overall health. During a consultation, we’ll assess your skin and discuss your expectations.
Are dermal fillers permanent?
Dermal fillers aren’t permanent. Most last 6 to 18 months, depending on the type. Your body gradually absorbs the filler over time.
Some fillers can last up to 2 years. During your consultation, we can discuss different options and their longevity.
