Medical-grade botulinum toxin

Therapeutic and facial Botox, with a maxillofacial eye

Botox is not only cosmetic. Correctly indicated, it relieves bruxism, relaxes the jaw muscles, helps with TMJ pain and corrects a gummy smile. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Cancún, I know facial anatomy in depth — that is the difference between a natural, safe result and an improvised one.

What is medical Botox used for?

Botox — botulinum toxin type A — temporarily relaxes the muscle where it is applied. In the hands of a specialist in the face and jaw, this has very specific medical and aesthetic uses:

Bruxism and masseter hypertrophy: relaxes the clenching muscle, reduces tooth wear and pain, and refines the jawline.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain: lowers the muscle tension that perpetuates jaw pain and tension headaches.
Gummy smile: when too much gum shows when smiling, the toxin balances the upper lip for a subtle result.
Expression lines: frown lines, forehead and crow's feet, with an approach of harmony, not stiffness.
Asymmetries and facial harmonization: fine adjustments backed by maxillofacial anatomy.

Therapeutic Botox is a medical procedure. Its safety depends on a correct diagnosis, the dose and exact anatomical knowledge. That is why it is best performed by a specialist of the face and jaw.

How I do it

Your process, step by step

Assessment

I review your case, your muscles and your goal — medical, aesthetic or both — to decide whether Botox is right for you.

Precise application

I apply the toxin at exact points with a personalized dose. It is a short, well-tolerated procedure.

Follow-up

The effect appears within days and settles in two weeks. We follow up to adjust and protect the result.

Duration. The effect usually lasts 3 to 6 months depending on the area and your muscle. In bruxism, many patients space out applications over time as the muscle relaxes.

Therapeutic and aesthetic

Health first, aesthetics as a result

I treat Botox as what it is: a medical tool. When we resolve bruxism or masseter hypertrophy, beyond relieving pain, the face looks more harmonious. Function and aesthetics go hand in hand.

Medical approachI indicate Botox when it brings a real benefit: pain, wear or function. I never over-treat.
Specialist anatomyI know the facial and masticatory muscles at a surgical level, which reduces risks and improves results.
Natural resultThe goal is for you to still look like you, with no frozen expressions. Less, well placed, is more.

FAQ

Therapeutic & facial Botox

Does Botox work for bruxism?

Yes. Applied to the masseters it relaxes the clenching muscle, reduces tooth wear and jaw pain. It is often combined with a night guard and a TMJ assessment for a complete result.

Does it hurt?

Very little. Very fine needles are used and the procedure takes a few minutes. Most people describe it as a small pinch.

How long until I see the effect, and how long does it last?

It starts to show in 3 to 7 days and settles at two weeks. Depending on the area, the effect lasts 3 to 6 months.

Is it safe?

It is a safe medical procedure when performed by a professional who knows the anatomy and uses the right product and dose. During the assessment we confirm you are a good candidate.

Does masseter Botox slim the face?

By relaxing an over-developed masseter, the jawline refines naturally over time. This is a sought-after effect in masseter hypertrophy.
