What is Botox®?

Boulder Botox logo The word “Botox” is short for Botulinum Toxin. Botox injections work by reducing the strain on certain muscles or nerves, allowing them to relax. This can improve the aesthetic appearance of your face, but it can also alleviate symptoms of TMJ and migraines. Botulinum treatment works because it blocks signals sent from nerves that may be causing certain muscles to contract. Botox can relax those muscles that may be creating wrinkles or causing other issues, such as headaches or migraines. Botox has received FDA approval for treating chronic migraines.
