Did you know BOTOX is about more than treating fine lines and wrinkles? Youthful Infusion Med Spa also uses BOTOX to treat many medical conditions, including muscle spasms, chronic migraines, and more. We’ll explain some of the best ways BOTOX can help you feel your best. Reach out to us for a consultation today.
What Is the Difference Between BOTOX and BOTOX Cosmetic?
Cosmetic BOTOX injections treat the signs of aging, while therapeutic BOTOX treats medical conditions. Some of the FDA-approved therapeutic BOTOX areas include the following:
- Excessive sweating
- Chronic migraines
- TMJ
- Cervical dystonia
- Jaw clenching
- Uncontrolled blinking (blepharospasm)
- Teeth grinding
Chronic Migraines
If you have more than 15 debilitating migraines monthly, you can benefit from BOTOX treatment. We typically inject BOTOX into your head and neck muscles. The chemicals that send pain signals cannot reach your nerve endings in this area. Most of our patients see a drastic improvement in the severity and frequency of their chronic migraines.
Excessive Sweating
BOTOX produces a purified protein that naturally blocks the body’s signals to activate your sweat glands. Most patients see an improvement for about six to nine months. We typically treat the hands, hands, or feet.
TMJ
If you have chronic pain in the temporomandibular joint, BOTOX can help. It can release the muscles around the temporomandibular joint to ease tension. Your TMJ works hard during the day as you talk, eat, and do other daily activities. When you have sharp pain in the area, BOTOX is often an excellent solution.
Muscle Spasms
Many of our patients get BOTOX injections to treat cervical dystonia. This is the tightening and spasms of the muscles in the neck. BOTOX will block signals that alert these nerves. Most patients experience an improved gait pattern, better range of motion, and a reduction in spasticity.
Bruxism
Bruxism is the grinding of the teeth. We can help lower this issue with BOTOX. We inject small doses of BOTOX into the large masseter muscle to help weaken it and stop involuntary movements.
