Botox as a healing instrument may seem less intuitive, since it is temporarily paralyzing a muscle. Our minds can generate tremendous and constant stress on our bodies and often in the form of muscle tension. Whether it’s the grind of stress from bruxism (teeth clenching/grinding), migraine and tension headaches triggered by muscle tension, or an unintended scowl not accurately expressing your mood or emotional state. All of these consequences can have health effects, where Botox may offer some relief. Talk with us to see if it might be right for you.
Our dental health is a window into our global wellbeing. The trauma created by bruxism is much more than just that of dental damage. It contributes to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, facial pain, sleep disruption, earaches, gum recession and early tooth decay, possible dental loss, and overall decrease in our healthspan. With specialized Botox treatments we are able to relax the jaw muscles, reduce the intensity of grinding, alleviate discomfort, and prevent damage to your teeth, helping you enjoy a more comfortable, pain-free life.
Experience relief from chronic migraines with our Botox treatments. Botox helps to disrupt pain pathways driven by a protein released at nerve endings called CGRP which stands for calcitonin gene related peptide. It is released from trigeminal nerve endings and causes vasodilation, neurogenic inflammation, and pain transmission, all of which are processes implicated in migraine attacks. By reducing the release of CGRP, Botox may help dampen the inflammatory response and pain transmission associated with migraines. Additionally, Botox may have a muscle-relaxing effect, which could be beneficial for individuals whose migraines are triggered or exacerbated by muscle tension.
More than just the aesthetic benefits of wrinkle reduction, the ability to suppress unintentional non verbal communication like a frown or scowl can be transformative in your relationships with others. However, it’s important to be targeted and intentional with Botox as there is also research that suggests the perception of those with limited facial expressions as less trustworthy or genuine.
Rest assured, our Botox treatments are safe, effective, and FDA-approved. We adhere to the highest standards of care, using only the highest quality products and the latest techniques to ensure your safety and satisfaction.
