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
Botox can be used to treat muscle contractures in the back, which are often caused by spasms or overactivity of the muscles. The injections help relax the contracted muscles, reducing pain and improving mobility.
SWEATING
Therapeutic Botox is effective for treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands, providing relief from excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, and face.
BRUXISM
Botox can be used therapeutically to treat bruxism (teeth grinding) by relaxing the muscles responsible for clenching the jaw. It helps alleviate the pain and tension associated with bruxism and prevents damage to teeth and jaw joints.
MIGRAINE
Botox injections can help prevent chronic migraines by blocking the release of chemicals involved in headache pain. The treatment involves injecting Botox into specific areas of the head and neck to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
