Botox for teeth grinding, migraines and sweating
A simple guide by Dr Adriana M. Ozery, Doctor Picasso, Limassol
Botox is best known for smoothing wrinkles, but it was a medical treatment long before it became a cosmetic one. As a medical doctor, Dr Adriana M. Ozery also uses it to help with several common health concerns.
Teeth grinding and jaw clenching
Many people clench or grind their teeth, often at night or under stress. This can cause jaw pain, headaches and tooth wear. Botox injected into the masseter muscles relaxes them, easing clenching and discomfort. A side benefit is a slimmer-looking lower face. Results usually last around 3–6 months.
Migraines
For suitable patients with chronic migraine, Botox can reduce how often headaches happen and how severe they are. It is given at specific points on the head and neck and repeated about every three months. A medical assessment is essential to make sure it is the right option for you.
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Botox can greatly reduce sweating of the underarms, palms or feet by blocking the signals to the sweat glands. Many patients notice a big difference in comfort and confidence, and results often last around six months or longer.
What to expect
Each treatment starts with a consultation and a review of your medical history. The effect builds up over one to two weeks. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, and will be explained before treatment.
