PDO Smooth Threads

Smooth threads are a minimally invasive anti-aging treatment. Instead of using scalpels to remove excess skin, cosmetic dentist Marielaina Perrone DDS is able to use specialized threads and place them in strategic areas to revitalize your facial features.

By opting for a smooth hread treatment you can achieve skin rejuvenation that reduces wrinkles and jowls and tightens skin.

PDO Smooth Thread benefits include:

• Subtle, natural esthetic results 
• Increased in natural collagen production
• Diminished wrinkles and improved skin laxity
• Quick procedure that takes approximately 30 minutes
• Long-lasting results

As we get older, the production of collagen declines, but the threads ‘’trick’’ your body into increased collagen production, improving your skin’s smoothness and elasticity. 

Botox Cosmetic

Botox injections block the chemical signals from nerves that tell your facial muscles to move. 

As you age and your production of collagen drops, every facial expression you make increases your chances of developing fine lines and wrinkles. 

Botox is only effective against wrinkles caused by facial movements such as forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and wrinkles in the mouth area. 

Benefits of Botox include:

• Fast and easy recovery
• Custom dosage plan
• Long-lasting results 

You can also combine dermal fillers and Botox to fix skin laxity issues.

Marielaina Perrone DDS has extensive experience and knowledge when it comes to anti-aging treatments. Choose wisely when it comes to these treatments. The ultimate goal is to make you look younger as naturally as possible.

Many people have never considered Botox can be used for therapeutic purposes. But the reality is Botox can help with TMJ issues and teeth clenching (Bruxism). Botox works by inhibiting the movement of muscles. This means it can also inhibit muscle movement that affects TMJ and bruxism. Marielaina Perrone DDS has extensive training and experience in using Botox injections both for esthetic and functional treatment.

Botox for bruxism

Teeth grinding (bruxism) can cause jaw pain, headaches, and damaged teeth. Teeth grinding can occur during sleep or when awake, especially when you are under stress. Studies have shown Botox injections in the facial muscles that control chewing can fix your issue. As a result of the Botox action, you will see relief from teeth grinding and clenching.

Dr. Perrone uses the proper dosage and location of injections to make the treatment as natural as possible. 

Botox for TMJ disorders

TMJ disorders can be quite painful. They can be due to the previously mentioned bruxism or due to trauma. Botox can help the muscles of the TMJ relax, giving patients relief quickly and easily. Botox injections can help relieve the pain and other symptoms when you suffer from headaches and jaw tension, even if you have not responded to other, more traditional treatments.

A simple, nonsurgical, outpatient procedure

Botox injections for TMJ or bruxism can take about 30 minutes, and Dr. Perrone can include this Botox treatment in your routine dental appointments. Dr. Perrone injects Botox into your forehead, temples, and jaw muscles to relieve jaw pain and headaches.

She will determine the number of injections needed and in what areas for maximum results. Botox injections use a very fine needle and are minimally invasive and easily tolerated. Topical anesthesia will be offered as well if needed. Dr. Perrone injects the Botox into each treatment area.

You may feel relief over the first day or two following Botox treatment. However, it will often take a few days to feel a significant difference. Following your dental appointment, you can return to your daily activities.

WHAT IS BOTOX?

Botox injections can help you look younger quickly and easily and to prevent lines and wrinkles from forming on the face. Marielaina Perrone DDS in Henderson, NV is pleased to offer BOTOX to her patients. This nonsurgical esthetic procedure provides outstanding cosmetic results and is available for both women and men.

Botox injectable can give a dramatic aesthetic improvement to facial wrinkles. These wrinkles result from our expressive movement with the contracting muscles on the forehead and around the eyes.

When injected into the facial muscles, BOTOX temporarily blocks specific muscle movements to soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. BOTOX injections are most commonly administered between the eyebrows, Crow's feet, and across the forehead.

BENEFITS OF BOTOX

An individualized BOTOX treatment plan designed by Marielaina Perrone DDS can help you look younger quickly. Other benefits include::

• Smoothing fine wrinkles and lines
• Preventing the formation of new creases and wrinkles
• Creating a more rested, youthful appearance
• Quick results without the need for surgical intervention
• Highly effective for both men and women
• Proven safe and effective

BOTOX FOR TMJ

The masseter muscle is located on the side of your face. The main role of this muscle is to help you chew your food properly. With properly placed injections, the masseter muscle can be relaxed resulting in many benefits for patients experiencing migraines and TMJ issues.

Benefits include:

• Relief for Teeth grinding
• Creating a symmetrical face profile
• Relieve tension or migraine headaches
• Reduce jaw tension and habitual clenching
• Recontouring jaw into a more square shape

WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR BOTOX?

BOTOX injections are ideal for men and women who want to:

• Lessen and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face
• As a wrinkle preventive treatment
• Lessen appearance of crow's feet by the eyes

For deeper lines, a filler product (Juvederm dermal filler) may be a better esthetic option.

HOW DOES BOTOX WORK?

BOTOX injectable treatments are performed right in our office by Marielaina Perrone DDS. Following a cosmetic consultation to determine treatment needed and desired, you will be asked to make various expressions using the upper face, like squinting and frowning, to give Dr Perrone a guide where the injections should be applied.

The injection sites will be cleansed thoroughly and BOTOX will be applied using a fine needle. Following injection a cold compress will be usedto help decrease discomfort and possible bruising. A numbing cream is also available if needed to help make the entire process more comfortable. BOTOX treatments generally take about 15-20 minutes, and you can typically return to your usual non strenuous activities after leaving the office.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER BOTOX?

Strenuous activity should be postponed for at least 24 hours. Dr Perrone will advise you to keep your head elevated for at least one night and to avoid touching your face, which may accidentally spread the BOTOX to undesired areas.

The injection sites may develop bruising, swelling, or redness but you should not have any long-lasting side effects. For many patients, it takes about a week for results to show fully. The results typically last 3 – 4 months before needing a touch up to maintain your youthful look.

BOTOX = LESS WRINKLES
