BOTOX is an extremely useful tool to help treat patients with a variety of both medical and cosmetic needs, but most of all to add confidence, provide pain relief and put a genuinely happy smile on their face.
What is BOTOX?
BOTOX is known as a neuromodulator. A “neuromodulator is a messenger released from a neuron in the central nervous system, or in the periphery, that affects groups of neurons or effector cells that have the appropriate receptors.” In other words, injecting the BOTOX directly into the underlying muscle relaxes and smooths out the appearance of the skin that covers it. One injection typically lasts about three months.
Let’s explore 3 benefits of BOTOX:
Benefit #1: Helps Relieve Migraines
The first benefit of BOTOX is that it helps relieve migraines. Chronic migraines can be debilitating.
Today some preventative medications can stave off the headache when taken before the pain reaches a certain point, and BOTOX is considered a preventative medication. Not only can it prevent on average 8 to 9 headache days and migraine/probable migraine days a month, versus six to seven for placebo, but it’s also the #1 prescribed branded chronic migraine treatment.
Benefit #2: Alleviation of TMJ
The second benefit is that it can alleviate pain caused by TMJ disorder. People with TMJ generally experience grinding of the teeth which causes headaches, uncomfortable jaw tension, and sometimes lockjaw. Others find themselves unable to sleep due to the discomfort, so not only are they groggy during the day, but they also have chronic facial pain. It’s no way to live.
But BOTOX can help. Again, it’s a non-surgical procedure that occurs in the dentist’s office during a 15-minute session, generally, but the appointment can last up to 30 minutes.
Benefit #3: BOTOX Cosmetic Takes the Years Off
The final benefit is that it can take years off your appearance and make you feel sexy again. Enter BOTOX Cosmetic to save the day, since a minor injection or two can take years off of a complexion.
Most people use BOTOX Cosmetic to target moderate to severe smile lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. We all love to laugh, but those years of sly smirks and full-blown belly laughs take their toll on our faces. Simply by smoothing certain lines on the face we can minimize the effect of all of those happy moments
