THERAPEUTIC BOTOX
History:
Before its aesthetic use, botulinum toxin was used to treat medical conditions such as
muscle spasticity, cervical dystonia, blepharospasm, and more. In aesthetics, it is applied
therapeutically for conditions like bruxism, hyperhidrosis, and chronic migraines, delivering
excellent clinical results.
Benefits:
- Reduces jaw pain and tension in patients with bruxism.
- Decreases excessive sweating (underarms, hands, feet).
- Relieves migraines by reducing neuromuscular tension.
- Improves overall well-being and quality of life.
- Non-invasive procedure with long-lasting effects (up to 6 months).
Ideal Candidates:
- Patients with bruxism, chronic migraines, or excessive sweating.
- Individuals with jaw tension or facial muscle pain.
- Also recommended for aesthetic muscle contractures.
The treatments
BACK MUSCLES CONTRACTURES
Therapeutic Botox can help with back muscle contractures by relaxing overactive muscles, easing tension and discomfort. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic muscle spasms or stiffness in the back.
SWEATING
Botox injections for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) block the signals from nerves that stimulate sweat glands. It is commonly used in areas such as the underarms, hands, and feet, providing long-lasting relief from excessive sweating.
BRUXISM
Therapeutic Botox is also used to treat bruxism (teeth grinding) by relaxing the jaw muscles. This reduces the frequency of teeth grinding and can prevent damage to teeth, as well as alleviate associated symptoms like jaw pain and tension headaches.
MIGRAINE
Therapeutic Botox for migraines involves injecting Botox into specific muscle groups around the head and neck to prevent the onset of chronic migraines. It helps reduce the frequency and severity of migraines by blocking the release of pain-causing chemicals.
