Medical BOTOX® in Southlake, Texas
Botox®: Neuromodulator Injectable Relaxers
Medical Botox®, a purified form of the neurotoxin botulinum toxin, has revolutionized cosmetics and treatments. While popularly known for its ability to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, its medical applications extend far beyond aesthetics. It blocks nerve signals to specific muscles, effectively reducing their activity. This mechanism relieves various conditions, including chronic migraines, muscle spasms, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and certain neurological disorders.
Medical Botox® for Excessive Sweating
Botox®, widely known for its cosmetic applications, has also proven to be an effective treatment for excessive sweating, medically termed hyperhidrosis. This condition, characterized by excessive and unpredictable sweating, can significantly impact daily life and self-confidence.
Hyperhidrosis can significantly affect a person’s quality of life. The most common areas affected by hyperhidrosis are the scalp, underarms, hands, feet, and groin area.
Botox® can be a safe and effective option to treat excessive sweating. Botox® injections use botulinum toxin to block the nerve signals responsible for sweating, stopping the sweat glands from producing too much sweat.
Medical BOTOX® for Migraines
Chronic headaches and migraines can be painful and impact daily life. Feel Ideal 360 offers BOTOX® injections to relieve those looking for migraine headache treatment in Southlake, TX.
If you have been diagnosed with migraine and get migraine headaches often, you may wonder if there's anything you can do to prevent them.
When you have a migraine, your body releases substances called neurotransmitters and molecules associated with pain. Botox® is injected around pain fibers involved in headaches. BOTOX® enters the nerve endings around where it is injected and blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission. This prevents the activation of pain networks in the brain.
Medical Botox® for TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Pain
Do you experience chronic jaw or facial pain? Do you have difficulty chewing, speaking, or opening your mouth wide? These symptoms could be caused by temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ).
When you have TMJ disorder, you may experience:
- Sore cheeks and jaw
- Teeth clenching or grinding
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Tension headaches
When Botox® is injected into the muscles around the joint, it relaxes the jaw muscles, reducing the tension in the joint. This can provide relief from the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ.
Medical Botox® for Gummy Smile
Are you seeking a non-invasive solution for your gummy smile? Look no further than Botox®! Our gummy smile treatment is not only practical but also quick.
The term "gummy smile," also known as excessive gingival display, refers to when someone smiles and when too much gum tissue appears above the top teeth. This can distract the focus from the lips and other teeth.
Botox acts as a muscle relaxant. So, when injected, it weakens the muscle's response not to be hyperactive. A small Botox® injection at both sides of the nostril and nose-to-mouth lines helps to weaken the muscle's response.
You will discover a new elevated smile, showing less gum and making you more confident in smiling freely.
Medical Botox® for Neck Muscle Spasms and Overactive Trapezius
Botox in your neck/trapezius is a great way to provide two main benefits. First, it can relieve pain for those who experience muscle tightness, pain, or stress. Second, it can have a slimming effect on the neck by lowering the trapezius muscle, which can lead to a longer-appearing neck.
The trapezius muscle, located in the upper back and neck area, can become tense and overactive due to various factors such as:
- Repetitive movements
- Poor posture
- Stress
- Even genetics
Trapezius Botox® works by injecting Botox® into the trapezius muscle, temporarily weakening and relaxing it, providing relief from pain and improving overall function.
Medical Botox® for Teeth Clenching (Bruxism)
If you tend to grind your teeth, you have a condition people in the dental profession call bruxism. This involuntary condition may cause:
- Jaw pain
- Headaches
- The wearing away of tooth enamel
- Gum sensitivity
- Chipped teeth
If treated with Botox®, a small amount will be injected into the muscles responsible for moving your jaw. The Botox® will reduce clenching and help with any accompanying tension and aches in your head. You will discover a new elevated smile, showing less gum and making you more confident in smiling freely.
