BOTOX® for TMJ Pain
BOTOX results typically last 3–4 months, whether you're receiving treatment for TMJ pain relief or facial aesthetics. However, duration varies based on your metabolism, the areas treated, dosage used, and whether this is your first treatment or a repeat visit.
BOTOX for TMJ Pain Relief
When treating TMJ disorder in Newmarket, BOTOX relaxes overactive jaw muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. Most patients notice relief from jaw pain, tension headaches, and facial soreness within 3–7 days, with full effects apparent within two weeks. This relief typically lasts 3–4 months before muscle activity gradually returns.
Many TMJ patients find that with repeated treatments, they can extend the time between appointments as muscles become trained to relax.
BOTOX for Facial Aesthetics
For lines like crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles, you can expect to see smoothing effects within 3–7 days, with optimal results at two weeks. Treated muscles gradually regain activity over 3–4 months, and lines slowly reappear.
With regular treatments, results often last longer because repeated muscle relaxation prevents lines from deepening. Some patients extend their intervals to 4–6 months after several sessions.
Maintaining BOTOX Results
To maintain consistent results, whether for TMJ relief or aesthetics, most patients schedule follow-up appointments every 3–4 months. We'll work with you to find the optimal schedule based on the duration of your individual results.
