botox isn’t just for wrinkles?
We know what you’re thinking… you’re kidding!?
Botox isn’t just a cosmetic superhero, it's a medical marvel and it holds the power to transform lives (not to be dramatic).
Before we get into it, allow us to introduce the mastermind behind our medical botox treatments:
This is Dr. Tessa Van Rooi. She is our medical botox expert! With over 10,000 units injected, her main goal as an injector is “to make everyone who comes through [her] door feel their very best! Whether that’s through medical Botox, cosmetic dermal fillers or Sculptra.”
Now that, you’ve met your expert injector, let’s explore 5 ways Botox can change your life:
Chronic Migraines:
If you experience migraines more than 15 days a month, botox injections may help. Approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic migraines, Botox injections target specific trigger points in the head and neck muscles, reducing the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating):
From clammy palms to drenched underarms, the excessive sweating in these areas can have a huge impact on confidence and impede daily activities. Enter Botox. By blocking the signals that trigger sweat production, Botox injections can significantly reduce sweating in certain areas
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ):
TMJ disorder affects the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jawbone to your skull. This joint facilitates movements like chewing, talking, and yawning. When it malfunctions, you may experience a range of debilitating symptoms including jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and even headaches. By injecting Botox directly into the jaw muscles, healthcare providers can temporarily paralyze those muscles, reducing their ability to engage in the involuntary movements that trigger TMJ symptoms.
Muscle Contractures:
Some neurological conditions can cause your limbs to pull in toward your center. Oftentimes, these contracted muscles can be relaxed with botox injections.
Cervical Dystonia:
This is when your neck muscles contract involuntarily causing your head to twist or turn into an uncomfortable position.
From relieving jaw pain to reducing excessive sweating, Botox is more than just a brow lift and wrinkle remedy.
