Medical & Therapeutic Botox
Botox® is also used therapeutically to treat medical conditions such as migraines, TMJ symptoms, excessive sweating, and muscle tension.
Botox® functions by limiting or decreasing the activity of the muscles, nerves, or glands in the targeted area. Over time, you will notice fewer wrinkles due to the weakening of the muscles, which helps avoid facial expressions that lead to deep creases. Decreased muscle activity can address several issues, such as jaw clenching, discomfort in the shoulders and back, and muscle spasms. When it comes to treating chronic migraines, the reduction of nerve activity is particularly helpful as it restricts the flow of pain signals to the head and neck areas being treated.
