Cosmetic Injectables West Edmonton
Lewis Estates Dental provides cosmetic injectable treatments in West Edmonton and Edmonton. We help create a youthful appearance and relax tense muscles that cause jaw pain.
Revitalize skin & muscles
The process of aging reduces production of elastin and collagen in the skin, making fine lines and wrinkles visible. Elastin and collagen support the youthful appearance and tone that is present in healthy skin in our younger years. Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that relax the facial muscles behind expression lines, softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.


How neuromodulators work
Neuromodulators such as Botox are injected at targeted points in the face to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Treatment is typically applied around the eyes, across the forehead, and between the eyebrows.
Benefits of cosmetic injectables
Neuromodulators can help your skin look smoother and more refreshed. Additional benefits include:
- The procedure is non-surgical
- Minimal downtime is required allowing a patient to easily return to work the same day
- It will enhance your natural appearance, and not make it obvious that you’ve had a cosmetic procedure
- The chances of complications are low

Therapeutic neuromodulation
Use of neuromodulation therapy
In addition to cosmetic uses, there are also several clinical applications for cosmetic injectables. Neuromodulators like Botox™ can be used to relax muscles that are implicated in causing pain, such as jaw pain.
Why use neuromodulators?
You may be a candidate for neuromodulation therapy to treat issues such as:
- Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD)
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Frequent headaches
Patients who have failed to achieve relief of symptoms from use of splint therapy/nightguards, or have ongoing bruxism related jaw pain/headaches, or are unable to tolerate wearing an occlusal splint/nightguard due to having a severe gag response to wear of such an appliance are good candidates for therapeutic use of neuromodulators. Many patients have experienced improvement and even resolution of symptoms, including jaw locking, jaw pain, teeth grinding, and headaches as a result of having neuromodulation therapy.
Possible side effects of cosmetic injectables
As with any medical procedure, there can be complications. Risks, while rare, will be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Bains.
Use of neuromodulators is contraindicated in individuals who have had a known reaction to the medication.

How long do cosmetic injectables last?
Each of us presents with differing signs of aging, so results vary from patient to patient. Typically, neuromodulator results last three to four months.
