Many of these patients want to know, “Can masseter BOTOX® help relieve headaches?” Discover the answer below.
How Masseter BOTOX Works
The masseter muscle is located at the side of the jaw. When it becomes overactive, it can result in pain that radiates to the head, causing tension headaches.
Masseter BOTOX involves injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter muscle to relax it temporarily. This targeted relaxation reduces muscle activity. It alleviates tension and prevents the cycle of pain that contributes to headaches.
Benefits of Masseter BOTOX for Headache Relief
There are several reasons why those struggling with tension headaches opt for masseter BOTOX:
- It’s quick: Masseter BOTOX appointments usually last 15-30 minutes. This makes the treatment easy to fit into your busy schedule.
- It’s non-invasive: Patients don’t have to worry about invasive procedures or long recovery periods. Masseter BOTOX is simple and doesn’t require any downtime.
- It’s safe and effective: Patients generally notice a reduction in jaw tension and headache frequency shortly after their session. Most see results within a few days to 1 to 2 weeks.
- It reduces medication dependency: Masseter BOTOX addresses tension headaches at the source. As a result, it can reduce patients’ dependency on pain medications.
- It offers aesthetic benefits: Masseter BOTOX can help patients achieve a slimmer, more contoured jawline over time. It offers both functional relief and subtle aesthetic enhancements.
Many patients experience significant quality of life improvements following masseter BOTOX injections. This service allows them to navigate daily life with ease and enjoy their favorite activities pain-free.
