BOTOX THERAPEUTIC

Botox For Migraine

Did you know that chronic migraines are the third most common condition in the world? If you suffer from chronic headaches, you’re not alone. When over-the-counter and prescription medications don’t ease the pain in your head, we can provide relief by relaxing the muscles that cause headaches in the first place before they even start. BOTOX® Therapeutic is a safe and highly effective tool to reduce the intensity, duration and frequency of chronic migraines and prevent many.

While other headache remedies are only effective after you’ve already begun experiencing symptoms, BOTOX® Therapeutic is a preventative therapy.

Botox For TMJ Dysfunction

When the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) becomes overworked due to excessive grinding or clenching, dysfunction can occur. This condition is characterized by pain, clicking, grinding or popping in the jaw as well as tension headaches, and in some cases can lead to dental issues like broken teeth! When BOTOX® Therapeutic is injected into the muscles around the TMJ, it can relax the activity of these muscles alleviating symptoms and restoring normal function of the jaw.

Frequently Asked Questions About BOTOX THERAPEUTIC

What is BOTOX® Therapeutic?

BOTOX® Therapeutic is a highly purified form of a naturally occurring bacteria Clostridium botulinum, that is used in aesthetic and therapeutic medicine for improved cosmetic appearance and in the management of certain medical conditions. At Mint, we use three of the health Canada approved brands, Botox®, Dysport and Nuceiva.

How does BOTOX® Therapeutic help the pain I experience?

Proposed mechanisms of action include normalization of muscular hyperactivity, neuromuscular denervation through blockade of acetylcholine transmission, normalization of excessive neuromuscular spindle activity, and inhibition of substance P and other peptides involved in migrainous attacks.

How does BOTOX® Therapeutic stop my excessive sweating?

BOTOX® Therapeutic stops excessive sweating by temporarily blocking release of acetylcholine, which mediates activity of sweat glands.

Does BOTOX® Therapeutic Hurt?

No, most patients are relieved to discover their experience was far better than they imagined! You may feel a slight sting with the injection but the actual procedure is very quick, and rest assured, we have many ways to help lessen your discomfort during your visit. 

Will I see results right away?

Neuromodulators like BOTOX® Therapeutic typically begin to take effect 3-4 days after your procedure, and take up to 2 weeks for the full effect. We recommend waiting the full 2 weeks before booking a touch up, if needed.

How many units will I need?

The amount of units needed varies from patient to patient depending on the area to be treated, your facial anatomy, muscle strength etc. You will be able to discuss this with the doctor during your consultation.

Will BOTOX® Therapeutic be covered by my insurance plan?
