Pain Treatment
Botox for Pain
Botox is a safe and effective option for many patients suffering from;
- migraine headaches,
- tension headaches,
- post traumatic cervicogenic headaches (whiplash),
- temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
- lower back pain
As a result of using Botox, the muscle does not receive the message to contract and it relaxes, thus helping to relieve the pain of muscle spasm. Botox also interferes with other pain messages to the brain resulting in reduced muscle tightening.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only product of its kind that is directed at the facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. It targets what are known as dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated muscular contractions, such as frowning and squinting.
BOTOX® Cosmetic, an injectable treatment derived from purified protein, works by relaxing the muscles that cause these dynamic wrinkles, giving your face a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. Best of all, regular use of this simple treatment will soften expression lines and help to "stop the clock" on the development or further deepening of lines.
With little downtime and almost immediate results, BOTOX® Cosmetic can help you restore a smoother, more youthful appearance to the face. In addition, treatment is so quick and easy that you can often have it done over lunch.
Excess Sweating
Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. This condition affects millions of people worldwide and can have a great impact on their quality of life, both professionaly and personally.
Sweating that occurs in certain places only, is known as focal hyperhidrosis. Most often this affects;
- Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
- Hands (palmar hyperhidrosis)
- Feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
- Face (facial hyperhidrosis)
Botox works by blocking the neurochemical activity of the nerves which cause the excess sweating. This procedure has been proven to work for 6 - 12 months, greatly reducing hyperhidrosis.
Botox is covered by most health plans for excess sweating.
