Facial Aesthetics in Brunswick, OH

Cosmetic Botox

Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the small muscles responsible for expression lines. When used cosmetically, it softens the appearance of wrinkles caused by repeated movement — frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet around the eyes.

Common cosmetic uses include:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines between the eyebrows ("11s")
• Crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes
• A "gummy smile" where excess gum tissue shows when smiling
• Lip flip to subtly enhance the upper lip

Treatments take about 15 to 20 minutes, and most patients see initial results within three to five days, with full effects visible at two weeks. Results typically last three to four months.

If you're dealing with jaw tension, clenching, or migraines rather than cosmetic concerns, see our Botox for TMJ page — that's a separate, medically focused treatment.

Dermal Fillers and Cosmetic Injectables

While Botox relaxes muscles, dermal fillers add volume. They're used to restore fullness in areas where the face has lost structure over time or to enhance natural features.

Treatment areas include:

• Cheeks, to restore mid-face volume
• Nasolabial folds (the lines from nose to mouth)
• Marionette lines around the chin
• Lips, for subtle enhancement or hydration
• Under-eye hollows

We use hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which are gel-like and reversible if needed. Most treatments take 30 to 45 minutes, and results are visible immediately. Depending on the product and treatment area, fillers typically last six months to over a year.

Fractional Laser Treatment

Fractional laser treatment addresses skin tone, texture, and surface concerns that injectables can't. The laser delivers thousands of microscopic columns of energy into the skin, stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the top layer without affecting the surrounding tissue.

Patients consider fractional laser treatment for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage and uneven pigmentation
• Acne scars and surface texture
• Overall skin tone and brightness

Most patients see improvement after a single session, though a series of treatments delivers the most noticeable results. Downtime is minimal — typically a few days of mild redness similar to a sunburn.

Why Choose a Dental Provider for Facial Aesthetics

Facial aesthetic treatments require a precise understanding of the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels just beneath the skin. Dentists spend their careers working with this exact anatomy, which is why dental providers are increasingly recognized as some of the most qualified clinicians to administer these treatments.

What you get when you choose our team:

• Clinicians trained in detailed facial anatomy
• A sterile, clinical environment
• Honest, conservative recommendations — we'll tell you when a treatment isn't right for you
• The ability to coordinate aesthetic treatment with your dental care, such as pairing a smile makeover with subtle facial enhancement

Learn more about our team's training and approach on the Meet the Doctors page.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

Every facial aesthetics appointment begins with a consultation. We'll discuss what's bothering you, what you'd like to achieve, and what's realistic given your anatomy and goals. From there, we'll recommend a treatment plan — which may involve a single service or a combination of treatments staged over several visits.

We never push products you don't need, and we won't proceed with treatment if we don't believe the result will meet your expectations.
