THERAPEUTIC BOTOX

MORE THAN JUST AESTHETIC

Botox isn’t just for smoothing fine lines—it’s also a powerful treatment option for a range of medical conditions that affect everyday comfort and quality of life. From chronic migraines to excessive sweating, Therapeutic Botox can offer real, lasting relief. And in many cases, your treatment may be eligible for insurance coverage—we always recommend checking with your provider.

Chronic Migraines
If you live with migraines, you know how much they can disrupt your life. Symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and throbbing head pain can make even basic tasks feel impossible. Botox is approved as a treatment for chronic migraines and can reduce both the frequency and severity of attacks. Many people experience noticeable relief within 7 to 10 days, with results lasting 3 to 4 months per session.

Bruxism (Teeth Grinding and Clenching)
Bruxism can happen during the day or while you sleep—and over time, it can lead to tooth damage, jaw pain, headaches, and muscle tension. While mouth guards can help, they aren’t always comfortable or effective. Botox works by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles, reducing grinding and relieving the tension that often causes pain or sleep disruption.

TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction)
TMJ symptoms include jaw pain, difficulty chewing, clicking or popping sounds, and even headaches or shoulder tension. By calming the muscles around the jaw joint, Botox can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility—giving your jaw the break it needs to heal and function more comfortably.

Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
If sweating under your arms, on your hands, feet, or face is interfering with your life, you're not alone. Hyperhidrosis can affect everything from what you wear to how confident you feel in social and professional situations. Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands, helping you stay dry and comfortable for up to 6 months at a time.

At Beechwood, we understand that looking good starts with feeling good. If you’re dealing with any of these conditions, we’re here to help you explore your options—with empathy, expertise, and a personalized approach every step of the way.

 FAQs

  • Therapeutic Botox uses the same purified botulinum toxin as cosmetic Botox, but instead of treating wrinkles, it's used to address medical concerns—like migraines, teeth grinding, jaw tension, and excessive sweating. It works by relaxing overactive muscles or blocking nerve signals, depending on the condition being treated.

  • Most clients start to feel relief within 7 to 10 days, with full effects typically setting in by 2 weeks. Results can last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the condition and the area treated.

  • In many cases, yes—especially for chronic migraines, TMJ, or hyperhidrosis. Coverage depends on your specific plan and diagnosis, so we always recommend checking with your provider. We’re happy to provide supporting documentation if needed.

  • The formula is the same, but the goals and injection sites are different. Cosmetic Botox is used to soften wrinkles, while therapeutic Botox targets muscle or nerve function to relieve pain or reduce symptoms of a medical condition.

  • Therapeutic Botox is commonly used for:

    • Chronic migraines

    • TMJ (jaw tension and pain)

    • Bruxism (teeth grinding/clenching)

    • Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
      Other emerging uses include managing muscle spasms, shoulder tension, and certain types of nerve pain.

  • Treatments involve small, quick injections, and most clients describe the sensation as a brief pinch. Discomfort is minimal, and the procedure typically takes only 10–20 minutes, depending on the area treated.

  • No significant downtime is required. You can resume most daily activities right away—just avoid intense exercise, lying flat, or rubbing the treated area for a few hours after your session.
