Botox

We offer BOTOX Cosmetic (onabotulinumtonxinA) for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes. Dr. Funke is licensed and trained to safely administer Botox to treat conditions of the face, head, and neck. Whether you are looking to enhance your facial beauty or seeking muscle facial pain relief, we can for the right treatment plan for you!

How Does Botox Work?

Botox is a safe neurotoxin that blocks the release of a neurotransmitter that signals muscle contractions. When we inject Botox into targeted muscles or nerves, they are paralyzed or relaxed for up to four months. This reduces muscle spasms, pain, and tension.

Botox is injected just under the skin using very fine needles. Most individuals feel a slight pinch similar to a bee sting but not painful. Therapeutic benefits are not immediate but will occur within one to three days. The full effect of therapeutic Botox injections may take up to two weeks.

What to expect

We know that everyone is different and every face is different. Therefore each individual will have a different treatment plan and recommended units of treatment and areas. You will spend time with Dr. Funke to discuss your concerns and he will work with you to create a treatment plan that is right for you.

Effects of BOTOX can take ten to fourteen days to see the full effects of treatment. Dr. Funke invites all patients back to make sure that the correct dose and desired effects are achieved! Results can be expected to last approximately three months at a time. Injection sites may have mild bruising that may last up to two days.

All of our products used are ordered directly from the manufacturer and properly handled and stored on site.

What Can Botox Treat?

TMJ Disorder

Therapeutic Botox injections relax specific facial muscles around the temporomandibular joint, reducing spasms. For patients experiencing chronic jaw pain, morning headaches, and jaw tension due to TMJ Disorder, Botox can bring significant relief. In severe cases, the injections can be combined with an oral appliance or physical therapy.

Tension Headaches

Daily tension headaches not associated with TMJ Disorder may be the result of the clenching of muscle clusters that eventually become chronically inflamed and contracted. Injecting Botox into targeted muscles in the base of the skull, temples, and forehead can relax the muscles for up to four months.

Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

Patients who grind their teeth at night may wake up with chronic morning headaches or a painful jaw. Botox injections for bruxism relieve the pain and reduce inflammation while temporarily paralyzing the muscles to prevent teeth grinding.
