Facial Aesthetics

As we age, our skin naturally becomes thinner and less elastic. This is due to a gradual decrease in proteins such as elastin and collagen. As facial muscles underneath the skin contract (e.g. when we raise our eyebrows, furrow our brows, or smile), the overlying skin creases in a repetitive fashion. This leads to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, which worsen over time. At our office, we offer treatment that can help tackle existing fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment may also help prevent their initial onset and help to preserve a wrinkle-free appearance. Patients who may benefit from this treatment can range in age from early to mid 20’s and up. Our doctor can further advise you on what treatments may be best for you. Call today to set up a consultation with our doctor.

Jaw Pain Therapy

Muscles of the face, head and neck are common sources of tension and pain. Pain can range from mild to severe and can include facial pain, neck and shoulder pain, earaches, headaches and migraines, and even TMJ pain. Over-activity of certain muscles can also cause tooth clenching and grinding (also known as “bruxism”) which induces pain in the jaws and teeth and can even contribute to headaches and earaches. Bruxism can destroy teeth, fillings, crowns, veneers, implants, bridges, dentures, and even your own jaw joints over time. Bruxism can be worsened by stress, poor posture, certain medications and medical conditions, caffeine, and repetitive habits such as chewing gum, biting fingernails, etc. At our office, we offer different treatments that may help with bruxism, facial pain, neck/shoulder pain, and headaches/migraines. Patients 18 years and older can benefit from this treatment. Our doctor can advise you on what treatments may be best for you. Call today to set up a consultation with our doctor.
