There are many uses for Botox now—both medical and aesthetic. At BeachGlo Aesthetics, we only treat your aesthetic and wellness goals using wrinkle relaxers. But even targeting certain muscles for aesthetic purposes can help you find relief from chronic pain.
Pain in Your Jaw
Feeling pain in your jaw is a common concern, and it’s typically caused by constant tension in the masseter muscles, which causes strain on the temporomandibular joints, also known at TMJ. At BeachGlo, we offer Botox for TMJ in Nags Head to help give you a more V-shaped jawline and to help release the tension that causes constant TMJ pain.
How It Works
We typically use Botox as a wrinkle treatment, since it can help smooth wrinkles that form between the eyebrows, around the eyes, and on the forehead. Botox works by temporarily limiting movement within small, specific muscles that create wrinkles and fine lines in the skin. Once those muscles don’t move repeatedly, your skin can relax, giving you a more youthful appearance. But ever since it was invented, Botox has become a widely used treatment for a variety of concerns.
When they are constantly tense, the masseter muscles can make it appear that you have a more square and masculine jawline. Along with damaged teeth from grinding and clenching, this tension can also cause chronic pain, creating more serious issues down the road. We offer Botox for TMJ in Nags Head to limit the movement within the masseter muscles. This relieves tension, reduces chronic pain, and gives your jawline a “V” shape.
