You’ve likely contorted your face to show that you’re happy, sad, scared, angry, disgusted, or surprised. In fact, according to researchers at Ohio State University, humans can make 21 different facial expressions to show their range of emotions. Each time you make one of these expressions, the muscles underneath your skin tense and bunch up, causing the elastin under your face to begin breaking down, which creates wrinkles and fine lines that make you appear older. Other factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and genetics can make wrinkles appear as well. Fortunately, Dr. Timmerman is a trained cosmetic dentist and offers BOTOX treatment to help restore your youthful glow and allow you to feel more confident in your appearance.
BOTOX injections utilize diluted botulinum toxin to freeze muscles in your face, helping them to relax and release wrinkles and fine lines. It’s used in small doses to ease facial lines caused by frowning or aging. Typically, patients begin to notice results within five days that last between three and six months.
When you first visit Dr. Timmerman for BOTOX injections, he’ll discuss your goals with you to determine what muscles to inject the treatment into. Each one takes approximately five to 10 minutes to administer, so depending on how many injections you’d like, appointments can last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour.
Patients who have certain neuromuscular diseases, are pregnant, have skin disorders, or deep facial scars may not be good candidate for BOTOX, which is why it’s a good idea to schedule a consultation with Dr. Timmerman if you’re considering the procedure. Typically, the best candidates for BOTOX are patients who are in their late 20s or older and are looking to fix facial imperfections, including:

Unfortunately, BOTOX treatments have suffered an unfair stereotype thanks to years of inaccurate depictions in movies and on TV, with people suffering from drooping faces and paralyzed facial features after an injection gone wrong. When used correctly in a professional setting, however, dental BOTOX treatments are safe, non-toxic, and offer incredible cosmetic results with virtually no side-effects. In fact, BOTOX injections can improve a patients’ ability to express facial emotions, and can work to naturally highlight your unique facial features and bone structure. Injections are also virtually pain-free, and are FDA-approved for numerous cosmetic applications.
If you have a painful TMJ disorder, a disproportionate lip line that’s skewing your smile, or a chronic dental condition such as grinding or clenching, BOTOX offers a simple, affordable, pain-free cosmetic solution that will help you achieve the perfect smile you’ve always dreamed of.
Born and raised in Kirkland, Dr. Timmerman believes that a true dentist is also an artist, and he even displays works of art in our dental office (including a sculpture he made with his own hands) to demonstrate his aesthetic-minded eye.
