Neurotoxin

Neurotoxins, commonly referred to as "botox" or "botulinum toxin," are a group of proteins used in cosmetic injections to temporarily relax specific muscles in the face and minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. When injected by a qualified medical professional, neurotoxins block the nerve signals responsible for muscle contractions, which cause wrinkles, allowing the skin to smooth out and appear more youthful.

This non-invasive procedure is particularly effective for treating dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead creases. The results are typically subtle and natural-looking, making neurotoxin injections a popular choice for those seeking a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance with minimal downtime.

Neurotoxins play a versatile role not only in cosmetic applications but also in myomodulation and pain treatment. In myomodulation, they are used to target and relax hyperactive or spasmodic muscles, providing relief from conditions like muscle stiffness, chronic migraines, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. By blocking nerve signals and reducing muscle contractions, neurotoxins can alleviate tension and discomfort, improving overall muscle function and patient comfort.

Additionally, neurotoxins have shown promise in pain management by targeting pain receptors and providing relief for conditions such as chronic pain, neuropathic pain, and even certain types of headaches. These applications highlight the wide-reaching therapeutic potential of neurotoxins beyond their cosmetic uses, offering patients alternative treatment options for various medical conditions associated with muscle dysfunction and pain.

Therapeutic injections

Do you grind at night? Do you have tension in your jaws and upper neck? Botulinum toxin is an effective treatment for this disorder by relaxing the masseter muscles. Treatment can also help slim your face.
Do you suffer from migraines? Are triptans and NSAIDS not working for you? Consider trying neurotoxin injections as an alternative solution to your suffering. May be covered by extended health insurance.
Certain types of headache and neck pain are amenable to myomodulation
If you have excessive sweating, i.e. under arm, botulinum injections have become widely used when topical treatments have failed. The treatment works by blocking the nerve signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active.
