As we age, fine lines and wrinkles become etched onto the skin’s surface as the production of the structural proteins collagen and elastin begins to decrease. Lower skin elasticity amplifies the appearance of creases, and repeated use of facial muscles causes dynamic wrinkles to form, including frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and lip lines. The appearance of wrinkles can be one of the more distressing signs of aging and often has patients wondering if there is a way to smooth away fine lines for a naturally youthful look. Botox injections are one of the best treatment options for dyn ..read more

Jaw tension and jaw pain can significantly decrease quality of life. When pain occurs in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is the hinge that allows the mouth to open, speak, and chew, it can be very distressing. Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) can also evoke other symptoms, such as severe tension headaches or migraines, jaw dysfunction and lockjaw, jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and neck, shoulder, or ear pain. Often, when looking to treat TMJ disorders, dentists will first prescribe a mouth guard to prevent damage to the enamel on the teeth, but this does nothing to address the ..read more

Fine lines and wrinkles are some of the most common concerns patients present with when it comes to addressing signs of aging. With age, the rate of new collagen production decreases and existing collagen gradually depletes. Because collagen is the protein in our skin that provides structure, this loss of collagen over time leads to skin laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles. Deep wrinkles that form on the forehead, glabella (“the elevens”), and around the eyes (crow’s feet) are due to repeated muscle movements along with loss of collagen over time. These wrinkles are referred to as dynamic wrinkle ..read more

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new anti-wrinkle injection that could become a major rival to the industry leader Botox: Revance Therapeutics, Inc’s Daxxify. Daxxify, like Botox, is an injectable treatment that can treat dynamic wrinkles on the face. However, industry leaders and cosmetic treatment professionals are particularly excited about Daxxify as a competitor to Botox and other neuromuscular blocking agents because of Daxxify’s exceptionally long-lasting results. While effects of neuromodulators such as Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Jeuveau last for approximate ..read more

As we age, fine lines and wrinkles become etched into the skin. Dynamic wrinkles are one of the telltale signs of the natural aging process, and occur over time as a result of repeated use of the facial muscles. When you make a facial expression, such as smiling or furrowing your brow, fine lines and creases appear in the form of smile lines framing the mouth, crow’s feet around the eyes, or frown lines across the forehead. In youth, these lines disappear as soon as you stop making that expression, but as you age, these dynamic wrinkles stay visible even when your face is at rest. The appearan ..read more

As we age, the muscle movement caused by the facial expressions that we make etch fine lines and wrinkles into the skin. These dynamic wrinkles, or wrinkles caused by repeated contraction of the muscles, frequently take the form of glabellar lines, which form between the eyes as a result of repeated furrowing of the brow, forehead lines, and crow’s feet that form at the corner of the eyes. In our youth, these lines will appear as the muscles contract but when the face is relaxed, signs of the wrinkles are erased and the skin is smooth. However, over time, the lines no longer fade when your mus ..read more
