What is involved in Botox?
If you have TMJ syndrome, headaches, or migraine pain and your healthcare professional determines you are a candidate for this treatment, your specific diagnosis and the severity of your condition will dictate how much Botox you will require.
Botox is injected into the affected head and neck muscles. Botox blocks nerve signals that cause muscle movements, essentially relaxing the muscles and reducing or eliminating facial pain.
Botox injections take only a few minutes and will remain effective for up to 3 months. Pain symptoms may return 3 months after your initial treatment. With a series of treatments, Botox can retrain your muscles to relax and you will notice your symptoms resolve for longer periods of time.
You will also notice your facial esthetics will considerably improve. Facial wrinkles will disappear following the treatment. The jaw may even slim down, creating a beautiful esthetic effect.
