Aesthetic Treatments in Brookline, MA

Aesthetic treatments in Brookline, MA at Smile Brookline are delivered by dentists, which is less unusual than it first sounds. A dentist works with the muscles, bone and soft tissue of the face every clinical day: the masseter and temporalis that close the jaw, the lip and cheek muscles that shape expression, and the bone that supports all of it. Dental facial aesthetics is an extension of that anatomy rather than a separate discipline attached to a dental practice.

The category covers three kinds of change. Expression lines, such as the frown lines between the brows and the crow's feet beside the eyes, respond to precise muscle relaxation. Loss of lift and muscle tone through the mid-face and jawline responds to needle-free muscle stimulation combined with collagen-building heat. Skin quality, meaning texture, pores, crepey skin and uneven tone, responds to radiofrequency delivered with or without microneedles. Most patients have some of each, which is why the consultation starts with the face rather than with a device.

Every energy device used in this practice is made by BTL and is FDA-cleared for its stated use. The FDA overview of aesthetic devices is a sensible starting point for anyone comparing options, and BTL Aesthetics publishes the clinical background for each platform. Where the concern is a softening jawline and early jowls, treatment is planned around the muscle as much as the skin. Where the jaw muscles are the problem rather than the lines, TMJ treatment is the right door. And where the smile itself needs work, cosmetic dentistry and facial aesthetics are planned together, because the lower face is one system.
