Therapeutic Procedures
Therapeutic Botox focus on alleviating pain and discomfort caused by muscle contractions.
Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox or a neuromodulator, can be injected into the masseter and temporalis muscles to help reduce jaw pain and tension associated with clenching and teeth grinding. In some cases, treatment may also target areas such as the frontalis muscle to help manage symptoms related to tension headaches or chronic migraines.
Cosmetic Procedures
Cosmetic Botox procedures focus on relaxing and softening the muscles used in facial expressions. By smoothing and softening lines, it can reduce wrinkles in between the eyebrows, forehead, “crow's feet” and even lift the eyebrows. All cosmetic procedures at the clinic are performed in the upper face.
Some cosmetic treatments can be considered therapeutic if they also relieve pain, like tension headaches.
