Botox Procedure

Botox is primarily noted for its ability to reduce the signs of facial wrinkles but it is also very useful in easing the pain of migraines, other dentally related headaches, and TMJ pain. Botox is an injection based treatment that utilizes various forms of Botulinum Toxin to temporarily paralyze muscle activity. The Botulinum Toxin blocks chemical signals from nerves causing the facial muscles to relax thus relieving tension.
Botox treatment effects can last four to six months and as muscle action returns, the treatment can be repeated.
Botox is a safe procedure to receive when done in moderation and using proper dosages. Any injection should always be performed by a trained, experienced doctor or technician. Some side effects may include swelling or bruising around the injection site, as well as headaches or nausea.
