Botox
At Akeso Oral Surgery, our skilled team is dedicated to helping you find relief from the pain and discomfort of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and migraines. We understand the impact these conditions can have on your quality of life, and we're here to provide you with effective, minimally invasive treatment options like Botox.
Why Should I Get Botox?
Botox is a safe and effective treatment option for managing the symptoms of TMJ disorders and migraines. When injected into specific facial muscles, Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles, reducing the tension and strain that can contribute to jaw pain, headaches, and other symptoms. By targeting the source of your discomfort, Botox can provide significant relief and improve your overall quality of life. Our experienced oral surgeons use precise techniques to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects, helping you achieve a more comfortable, pain-free life.

FAQ's
The frequency of Botox injections for TMJ and migraine treatment varies depending on the individual and the severity of their condition. On average, the effects of Botox last for about 3-4 months, at which point the treated muscles gradually return to their pre-treatment state. To maintain the benefits of Botox and prevent the recurrence of symptoms, most patients require regular maintenance treatments every 3-6 months. However, some individuals may find that they can go longer between treatments, while others may require more frequent injections to manage their symptoms effectively. Our oral surgeons will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that takes into account your unique needs, response to treatment, and long-term goals. We will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment schedule as needed to ensure optimal results and ongoing relief from TMJ and migraine pain.
Botox is generally considered a safe and well-tolerated treatment, with minimal side effects. The most common side effects are temporary and localized, including mild bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. These typically resolve on their own within a few days. In rare cases, patients may experience temporary weakness or drooping of the targeted muscles, but this is usually mild and resolves quickly. Our skilled oral surgeons use precise techniques and appropriate dosages to minimize the risk of side effects and ensure your safety and comfort throughout the treatment process. If you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms after your Botox treatment, our team is always available to provide guidance and support.
Botox typically begins to take effect within a few days of the injection procedure, with full results becoming apparent within 1-2 weeks. The exact timing may vary depending on the individual and the specific condition being treated. During your consultation, our oral surgeons will provide you with a more detailed timeline of what to expect based on your unique situation. It's important to note that while some patients may experience significant relief within the first few days, others may require a bit more time to see the full effects of the treatment. Our team will work closely with you to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan to ensure optimal results.
