A minimally invasive, reversible procedure that can complement aesthetic dentistry, reduce signs of aging and help with myofascial pain.
Do you get 15 or more headache days each month, with a migraine on at least 8 of them, each lasting 4 hours or more? You may be suffering from chronic migraines. Once you have a diagnosis for this condition, Botox injections may be an option, and Dr. Giron may be able to help.
Dr. Giron is very familiar with pain associated with TMJ issues, as she has suffered from it herself. Injected into facial muscles afflicted with soreness and discomfort, Botox helps relieve jaw and TMJ tension for many patients. It can ease headaches that come from grinding and clenching, and may reduce lock jaw episodes.
Botox can reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and help with gummy smiles. A recent study also suggests Botox may help some patients who suffer from depression, which is a welcome bonus.
Typically the effects of Botox last three to four months, so treatment is recommended once every three to four months. If your facial muscles begin to train themselves to contract less, the interval between treatments may stretch beyond that.
Whether it is migraines, a jaw that will not stop aching or lines you would rather soften, the first step is the same. Book a consult and Dr. Giron will tell you whether Botox is the right tool for what you are dealing with.
