What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is a leading injectable formulated with purified Botulinum toxin A. In addition to its many cosmetic uses, it is also a formidable tool when it comes to treating a variety of medical concerns, including hyperhidrosis, spasms, and migraines. When injected, BOTOX works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that tell the brain to contract the targeted muscle. BOTOX comes with no discomfort or downtime, allowing patients to quickly resume their normal activities after their sessions.

What is BOTOX For Migraines?

BOTOX’s mechanism of temporarily relaxing certain muscles has been shown to be highly effective in the realm of pain management. As a neuromodulator, BOTOX can block neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that relay pain signals to the brain. Once BOTOX is injected into the tiny muscles surrounding the face, head, and neck, it blocks the neurotransmission of pain messages, eliminating migraines while enhancing comfort and ease for the patient.

Masseter BOTOX – A Solution For Jaw Tension Headaches

Tension migraines related to TMJ (a temporomandibular joint disorder) often begin with chronic pain in the jaw muscle (masseter). BOTOX is among the best solutions for these kinds of headaches, as it can weaken the masseter muscle to relieve stress, reducing the intensity, frequency, and length of migraine headaches. Patients who grind their teeth while asleep and then experience tension in the head and jaw during the day make ideal candidates for masseter BOTOX injections.

What Is TrapTox?

TrapTox refers to a treatment in which BOTOX is injected into the trapezius, a broad, thin muscle that stretches from the upper back up into the neck. This technique has led to reduced headache pain in migraine sufferers as well as an easing of tension in the shoulders and neck. Migraines often stem from bruxism (teeth grinding), which is often exasperated by tension in the trapezius muscle.

Can A Brow Lift Help With Migraine Headaches?

Evidence has shown that brow lift surgery can help reduce painful tension headaches. Migraine-associated nerves can be found in the same areas where forehead wrinkles occur. By releasing tensed, contracting muscles and decompressing migraine-triggering nerves during a brow lift, our provider is able to improve symptoms for headache sufferers while at the same time providing them with a more youthful-looking appearance.
