Facial Injectables in Meadowbank & Ryde, West Ryde

Our facial muscles are used numerous times each day. They’re used every time you open and close your mouth, smile, or throw someone a kiss. Over the years, these repetitive and sometimes hyperactive motions may cause Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD) on the superficial skin.

What Is BTx-A and How Does It Help Me?

BTx-A is a purified natural protein, which acts as a muscle relaxant targeting the specific overactive muscles causing TMD or TMJ. Quick and painless Botox injections deliver targeted treatment, relaxing the muscles that control the jaw, preventing wear on teeth and alleviating facial pain. TMJ treatments also have an aesthetic effect of naturally slimming the face, narrowing the appearance of a square or wide jaw.

Upper face areas can also be treated with Botox to help with tension headaches and facial pain associated with TMJ. Treating these areas also helps reduce the signs of aging that come from heavy contraction of muscles.

A full medical history is taken before any clinical procedures take place. As with any other medical or dental procedure, facial injectables carry risks. Before proceeding, we suggest you seek a second opinion from a qualified professional.
