Are Cosmetic Injectables Bad for You?
Hi, Dr Linda here from New Gisborne Dental House, part of the Dental House Group.
This is a question I get quite often, and I completely understand why. With so much information floating around, it’s easy to feel unsure. So let’s clear things up. Are cosmetic injectables bad for you? The short answer is no, as long as they’re done safely, correctly, and by a qualified professional.
Injectables like anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers have been used for decades in both medical and cosmetic settings. They work by relaxing certain muscles or restoring volume in specific areas of the face. When done by someone who understands facial anatomy and takes a conservative approach, the results can look incredibly natural and feel completely comfortable.
In dentistry, injectables aren’t just about appearance either. We also use them for functional reasons. For example, if you suffer from teeth grinding or jaw tension, injectables can help relax those overactive muscles. This can reduce discomfort and help prevent long-term damage to your teeth.
Of course, like any treatment, the results depend on who is performing it. Injectables should always be administered by someone properly trained. When done incorrectly or overused, complications can happen. But when handled by an experienced clinician, they’re considered safe, effective, and long-lasting.
So, if you’re dealing with TMJ pain, clenching, or even just curious about what cosmetic injectables can do, feel free to reach out.
