A Versatile Treatment for Cosmetic and Therapeutic Needs

Botox® is well known for softening facial lines, but it also plays a role in relieving certain muscle-related symptoms. At Longmont Oral, Facial & Implant Surgery, we use Botox in two distinct ways: to gently reduce the appearance of wrinkles for a refreshed, natural look, or to help ease jaw tension, myofascial pain, and some headache symptoms. Whether you’re exploring cosmetic enhancement or therapeutic relief, we take time to understand your goals and tailor treatment accordingly.

Meet Your Aesthetic Team

Our certified facial aesthetics team, led by Dr. Andrus and Dr. Howard, draws on years of advanced training in facial anatomy. Their precise injection technique and thorough understanding of underlying muscles ensure comfortable treatments and consistent, natural results.

What Is Botox?

Botox is a purified neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes overactive muscles. Cosmetically, it softens dynamic lines between the eyebrows, across the forehead, and around the eyes. Therapeutically, it can calm the powerful jaw muscles involved in clenching and grinding, reducing facial pain and tension‑type headaches.

Are You a Good Candidate?

Botox may be appropriate if:

  • You notice moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, or crow’s‑feet.
  • You experience jaw soreness, clenching, or limited opening related to TMD/TMJ.
  • You have tension headaches or migraines triggered by muscle overactivity.
  • You prefer a non‑surgical approach to cosmetic or pain‑relief goals.
  • You are in good general health and at least 18 years old.

During your consultation, we review your medical history, discuss your goals, and design a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

What to Expect at Your Visit

A typical Botox appointment lasts about 15 minutes. After confirming your goals, your doctor gently places Botox in targeted areas with a tiny needle. No downtime is required, and you will receive clear, straightforward care instructions before leaving.

As directed, a quick follow‑up two weeks later lets us confirm your results or make any fine adjustments.

This simplified approach removes complexity and reassures patients that Botox is an easy addition to their routine, not a complicated procedure.

Caring for Your Results

  • Avoid rubbing or massaging treated areas for 24 hours.
  • Postpone strenuous exercise and saunas on treatment day.
  • Stay upright for at least four hours after injections.
  • Protect your skin with daily moisturizer and sunscreen.

Cosmetic changes usually appear within 3–5 days, with full effect at about two weeks; therapeutic relief for jaw tension and headaches follows a similar timeline. Results typically last 3–4 months and often longer with repeated treatments.
