BRUXISM SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
Bruxism is defined as Excessive grinding of the teeth or clenching of the jaw.
This condition can affect adults and children, and can occur during day or night.
Symptoms
- Teeth grinding or clenching, which may be loud enough to wake up your sleep partner.
- Teeth that are flattened, fractured, chipped or loose.
- Worn tooth enamel, exposing deeper layers of your tooth.
- Increased tooth pain or sensitivity.
- Tired or tight jaw muscles, or a locked jaw that won't open or close completely.
Treatment
By injecting small doses of botulinum toxin directly into the masseter muscle (the large muscle that moves the jaw), the muscle is weakened enough to stop involuntary grinding of the teeth and clenching of the jaw. This significantly relaxes the muscle and reduces the wear and tear on the teeth due to grinding.
BIOIDENTICAL MENOPAUSAL HORMONE THERAPY
Hormone replacement therapy is becoming a popular treatment to work on symptoms of aging. The lines on your face can be related to a decrease in hormone levels – and improving your hormone levels will help to slow the aging process.
Hormone therapy is most often used to treat common menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes and vaginal discomfort.
Hormone therapy has also been proved to prevent bone loss and reduce fracture in postmenopausal women.
Hormones of Youth
Estrogen
The hormone estrogen is responsible for skin look due to the hyaluronic acid it produces.
Estrogen not only affects your skin but also your muscle mass, metabolism, and energy levels.
Decline in estrogen levels is one of the main factors for dry skin, and fine lines around the mouth and on the forehead.
A woman’s estrogen is produced mainly by the ovaries until menopause.
You can take estrogen in the form of a pill, patch, gel, vaginal cream. If you experience only vaginal symptoms related to menopause, estrogen in a low-dose vaginal cream, tablet or ring is usually a better choice than an oral pill or a skin patch.
Testosterone
Testosterone is the hormone responsible for giving males their distinctly male attributes. However, men begin to experience a drop in testosterone levels as they get older. Low testosterone levels are linked to wrinkles, muscle loss, weight gain, and thinning hair.
Testosterone therapy can combat physical, sexual, and emotional changes that come with getting older, especially for a man.
It can also help you sleep better.
Hormone Therapy
If you are concerned about your hormone levels and the effect they have on how you look and feel, you can have your hormone levels checked. If you do have low levels of one or more hormones, then estrogen and testosterone therapy are possible treatment methods to help you look and feel great.
Anti-aging medical specialists have been using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to bring up hormone levels in patients with age-related hormone imbalances. It’s the more natural way to feel young again.
NEUROMODULATOR INJECTIONS (BOTOX , DYSPORT, JEUVEAU)
These injections are used mainly to treat the expression lines of the forehead and between the brows. They work by partially immobilizing the muscles that form expression lines so the skin smooths out, although some deep expression lines may not go away. Botox is the familiar brand name. Other FDA-approved botulinum toxins are ,Jeuveau, Xeomin and Dysport.
SKIN CARE & ACNE TREATMENT
Skin care
Common skin changes that appear gradually as you age include age spots, freckles, discolored blotches, wrinkles, sallowness, roughness, very dry skin and leathery toughness. Some skin changes, such as fine wrinkles from sun damage, may be reversed by treatment with retinoic acid. This treatment can also improve your skin's texture, reduce discoloration and increase collagen.

Acne
Puberty causes your body to make more hormones, which lead your skin to make more sebum, an oil that comes from your pores. Too much sebum and dead skin cells can clog pores and trap bacteria inside. The germs thrive and acne starts. It can show up as whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. Pop those pimples can lead to infection and scars. Instead, try acne-fighting products. We have different compounding formulated options available for your skin and Our prescriptions can be given as creams or pads based on your choice.
FACIAL TREATMENT
Facial treatment is a relaxing cleansing process performed by our licensed esthetician that exfoliates, hydrates, and nourishes the skin. During this treatment, the face is usually steamed, cleaned, and exfoliated.
Every facial treatment is personalized to fit your skins needs for the best results.
After your treatment, your skin feels softer and more hydrated . Acne breakouts may fade or gradually disappear after the treatment.
Regular facial treatments lead to better looking skin, especially when performed each month. For adolescent and young adult skin, acne breakouts may be reduced significantly.
Facials are an effective step of any anti-aging regimen. As a person ages, their skin produces less collagen and elastin. This loss is responsible for the looser and thinner appearance of skin. The time it takes for new cells to reach the surface slows down as the body ages. The anti-aging facial treatment may include chemical exfoliation and other collagen producing techniques. These work by removing a microscopic layer of skin cells to accelerate the growth of a new one.
