Summit Dental Excellence offers wrinkle relaxers and cosmetic injectables in Oconomowoc for patients who want a smoother, refreshed appearance or relief from certain types of TMJ-related muscle tension.
Whether you’re looking to soften the appearance of expression lines, enhance facial contours, or address jaw tension associated with clenching, our approach is centered on precision, comfort, and natural-looking results.
Every treatment is customized to your facial structure, individual goals, and comfort level. Our goal isn’t to change who you are—it’s to help you look refreshed and feel confident while maintaining your natural appearance.
What Are Wrinkle Relaxers and Cosmetic Injectables?
Cosmetic injectables are nonsurgical treatments that can be used to address a variety of aesthetic and functional concerns.
Wrinkle relaxers, including botulinum toxin products, work by temporarily reducing the activity of targeted muscles. This can soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and, in certain cases, help reduce muscle tension associated with jaw clenching and TMJ-related discomfort.
Dermal fillers are injectable products that can help restore or enhance facial volume and contour. Many fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps maintain hydration and volume within the skin.
Depending on your goals, injectable treatments may be used to help:
- Soften the appearance of expression lines
- Create a smoother, more refreshed appearance
- Enhance or restore facial contours
- Address areas of lost facial volume
- Improve the appearance of certain under-eye hollows
- Reduce targeted jaw muscle activity associated with clenching and TMJ-related tension
Your treatment plan will depend on your individual anatomy, goals, and medical history. During your consultation, Dr. Malak will explain which treatment options may be appropriate for you.

The Injectable Treatment Process
Our injectable treatments are designed around three priorities: comfort, precision, and natural-looking results.
Consultation and Planning
Your appointment begins with a consultation and evaluation of your facial structure and, when appropriate, your TMJ and jaw muscles. Dr. Malak will discuss your concerns, answer your questions, and learn more about your goals.
Based on this evaluation, she’ll recommend an appropriate treatment approach and explain what you can expect from the procedure.
Treatment Visit
Before treatment, your skin will be prepared and a topical anesthetic or other comfort measures may be used when appropriate.
Dr. Malak will identify precise treatment areas and carefully administer the selected injectable. Treatment times vary depending on the areas being addressed, but many appointments can be completed relatively quickly.
Aftercare and Follow Up
You’ll receive specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment. Some patients experience temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically improves as the area heals.
Depending on your treatment, a follow-up appointment may be recommended to evaluate your results and determine whether any additional treatment is appropriate.
