Therapeutic Botox
Non-Surgical Relief for Medical Conditions
Therapeutic Botox is a highly effective treatment that utilizes Botox to address various medical conditions by relaxing overactive muscles or blocking nerve signals. Unlike cosmetic Botox, which focuses on enhancing appearance, therapeutic Botox is designed to improve quality of life for individuals suffering from chronic medical concerns such as migraines, excessive sweating, or muscle disorders. This FDA-approved treatment is minimally invasive and delivers targeted relief with long-lasting results.

Relieve Your Symptoms Naturally
Therapeutic Botox offers a safe and effective way to address chronic medical conditions, improving your quality of life. Whether you’re seeking relief from migraines, muscle tension, or excessive sweating, our experienced team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
During your treatment, small amounts of Botox are injected into specific areas depending on the condition being treated.
The procedure is quick, often lasting 15–30 minutes, and involves minimal discomfort.
For conditions like migraines or hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), injections are strategically placed to target affected areas, such as the forehead, scalp, underarms, or neck. Muscle-related conditions like jaw tension are treated by relaxing overactive muscles.
Most patients begin to notice results within 3–7 days, with full effects developing within two weeks.
The benefits typically last 3–6 months, after which maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain relief.
Number of Treatments: The number of sessions required varies depending on your condition and treatment goals. Many patients experience significant relief after one session, with maintenance treatments recommended every 3-6 months for sustained benefits.
Results Timeline: Initial effects may be noticeable within 3-5 days, with full results appearing within 10-14 days post-treatment.
Downtime: No downtime is required, allowing you to resume your normal activities immediately. Some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves quickly.
Botox can often be combined with other therapies to enhance results. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from using aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, or fish oil for one week prior to treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Inform Your Provider: Share your medical history, including any allergies or medications you’re taking, to ensure safe and effective treatment.
- Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Refrain from consuming alcohol or smoking for at least 24 hours before your appointment to minimize the risk of complications.
Disclaimer: This list is not comprehensive. Detailed pre- and post-procedure guidelines will be emailed to you before and after your treatment.
- Stay Upright: Remain upright for at least 4 hours after treatment to allow the Botox to settle properly.
- Avoid Touching the Area: Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours to prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended areas.
- Limit Strenuous Activity: Refrain from vigorous exercise, saunas, or hot tubs for 24–48 hours to reduce the risk of swelling or bruising.
- Monitor Side Effects: Mild redness, swelling, or bruising is normal and should subside within a few days. Contact your provider if you experience any unusual symptoms or prolonged discomfort.
