1. Muscle Assessment & Consultation
We thoroughly examine your jaw joints, palpate your facial muscles for tenderness, and discuss your history of grinding, headaches, and pain levels.
2. Marking Injection Sites
We carefully map out the specific areas of the masseter and temporalis muscles that are overactive and causing your discomfort.
3. Quick, Comfortable Injections
Using a very fine needle, we administer small, precise amounts of Botox into the targeted muscles. The process takes only a few minutes and is virtually painless.
4. Post-Care Instructions
We provide simple guidelines, such as avoiding rubbing the area or strenuous exercise for the rest of the day, to ensure the Botox settles perfectly.
