Introduction
Therapeutic BOTOX goes beyond its well-known cosmetic applications and delivers real relief for individuals dealing with chronic health issues like TMJ, migraines, and excessive sweating. At Elevation Medical Aesthetics in Queensbury, our team uses BOTOX to target the muscles and nerves responsible for discomfort, tension, or overactivity. If you’ve been navigating persistent symptoms that haven’t responded to traditional options, therapeutic BOTOX could be a straightforward, effective next step.
BOTOX is a protein that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles by blocking nerve signals. While many people associate it with smoothing facial lines, it has a long history of use in therapeutic medicine.
When injected into an overactive or problematic muscle, BOTOX can help our Queensbury patients reduce any pain, limit involuntary movement in that area, or even minimize excessive sweating.
Types
TMJ disorder affects the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. For individuals who experience clenching, grinding, jaw tightness, or chronic jaw pain, BOTOX can be injected into the muscles to help alleviate muscle tension.
For those living with chronic migraines, therapeutic BOTOX can help offer relief. This works by blocking the nerve that triggers migraine pain. BOTOX can be injected around your head, neck, and shoulders to help prevent headaches.
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can affect the underarms, hands, feet, or other areas and often interferes with daily life. BOTOX works by blocking the body’s signals that trigger the activity of your sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat in treated areas. It’s an ideal option for patients who have tried prescription-strength antiperspirants or other treatments with limited success.
Therapeutic BOTOX treatments are minimally invasive and require no downtime. Relief is often gradual and builds with consistent sessions, especially for those with migraines and TMJ.
Another significant benefit is that the procedure is quick and well-tolerated by many, while also providing targeted relief without the need for surgery or long-term medication use.
You may be a good candidate for therapeutic BOTOX if you’ve been diagnosed with chronic migraines, TMJ disorder, or hyperhidrosis and haven’t found lasting relief through other treatments.
Ideal patients for our therapeutic BOTOX treatment are those who are in good health, understand the treatment process, and are committed to maintaining a routine schedule for best results.
If you’re looking for a non-surgical option to manage daily symptoms, therapeutic BOTOX is worth considering.
Your first step is a consultation at Elevation Medical Aesthetics in Queensbury, NY. During this visit, we’ll review your health history, discuss your symptoms, and determine if therapeutic BOTOX is the right approach.
If you’re a good fit, we’ll outline a treatment plan customized to your needs. We’ll also discuss how the treatment works, what to expect afterward, and how long it may take to see results.
Therapeutic BOTOX sessions are efficient and typically completed in under 30 minutes.
After reviewing your treatment plan, your provider will clean the area and perform a series of small injections in the muscles or regions responsible for your symptoms.
Most of our Queensbury patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch or small pressure. You’ll be able to return to normal activities right after your appointment.
There’s no required downtime following therapeutic BOTOX injections. Some patients experience minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites, but these are only temporary. You’ll want to avoid lying down for several hours and skip any strenuous activity for the rest of the day.
Results typically begin to develop within a few days and continue to improve over the course of one to two weeks.
Therapeutic BOTOX in Queensbury typically ranges from $10 to $13 per unit. The total cost depends on the condition being treated and the number of units required. Our TMJ treatments will need about 30 to 60 units per side, migraine relief may involve 40-100+units, and hyperhidrosis usually requires 30-50 units per underarm.
