TMJ Relief with Neurotoxin
Are you dealing with jaw pain, tightness, or teeth grinding? Neurotoxin treatment may help support TMJ symptom relief by reducing overactivity in key jaw muscles. At Pink Rose Aesthetics, we provide a comprehensive assessment and a personalized treatment plan designed around your symptoms, anatomy, and goals.
What to Expect
During your visit, your nurse practitioner will complete a thorough assessment and discuss your symptoms, jaw tension patterns, headaches, and clenching or grinding. We commonly treat the masseter and, when appropriate, the temporalis muscles, which are frequent contributors to TMJ discomfort.
How Does It Work?
Neurotoxin works by relaxing overactive muscles that contribute to tension and pain. Many clients notice less clenching, fewer tension headaches, and improved jaw comfort over time. Treatment is quick, typically well tolerated, and requires minimal downtime.
Dosage and Treatment
Dosing is individualized. Depending on your anatomy and symptom severity, total dosing often ranges from 25 to 50 units per side, with a customized plan for masseter and possible temporalis treatment. We aim for effective relief while maintaining natural function for chewing, speaking, and facial expression.
Benefits of TMJ Neurotoxin
Reduced Jaw Tension: May help minimize clenching and grinding.
Pain Relief: May help decrease jaw pain, headaches, and muscle soreness.
Improved Function: Allows for smoother jaw movement.
Jawline Slimming: As the masseter muscles relax, some patients notice a slimmer, more contoured jawline.
Quick and Minimally Invasive: Convenient in office treatment with little downtime
Long-Lasting Relief: Results typically last about 3 to 4 months, but some patients notice longer lasting benefit with consistent treatment
Real Patient Comments 🤍
“I did not realize how much tension I was carrying in my jaw until I started TMJ neurotoxin treatment. I noticed less clenching, less jaw soreness, and fewer tension headaches.”
“I was grinding my teeth at night and waking up with jaw pain. After treatment, my jaw felt more relaxed and I was not waking up as sore.”
“I wanted help with clenching, but I also noticed my lower face looked a little softer and more balanced over time. The treatment helped with both comfort and confidence.”
Individual results vary. TMJ neurotoxin treatment may help reduce muscle overactivity when medically appropriate, but it is not a cure for TMJ disorder.
Potential Risks and Side Effects
While generally safe when administered by a trained professional, there are potential risks, including:
Temporary Muscle Weakness: In the treated areas, which may affect chewing or smiling.
Bruising or Swelling: At the injection sites.
Headache: Rare but possible shortly after treatment.
