THERAPEUTIC BOTOX

Nurse Injector in Bedford, Nova Scotia!

Therapeutic botox can help alleviate the symptoms of TMJ, jaw tension, teeth grinding, and hyperhidrosis.

TMJ/Masseter Botox for Facial pain and slimming:

TMJ Botox can be a life changing treatment! A neuromodulator (such as Botox/Dysport) is injected into the masseter muscle causing it to relax, and reduce the tension in the joint. This can provide pain relief for those who suffer with jaw pain. It can also help to prevent teeth grinding and clenching. By relaxing the muscle, they shrink in size, which can give a facial slimming effect.

Benefits:

  • Helps relax the masseter (jaw) muscle & alleviate pain
  • Good for those who suffer from tmjd, jaw tension, or teeth grinding
  • Can refine & slim the shape of the jaw
  • Results can last up to four months

Botox for Hyperhidrosis / excessive sweating:

Botox/ Dysport can be used to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).  The most commonly treated area is the armpits but it can be used in other areas as well.  It works by blocking the nerves responsible for activating your sweat glands.  Normally, your nervous system activates your sweat glands when your body temperature rises.  This is how your body cools itself.  In people with hyperhidrosis, however, the nerves that signal the sweat glands are overactive.

Benefits:

  • Non-Invasive
  • Highly effective
  • Topical numbing cream is used during treatment and most patients report very little discomfort.
  • Minimal downtime (clients must adhere to post-care instructions for best results).
