Botulinum toxin is injected carefully into the muscle, which temporarily blocks the signal from the nerve, leaving the muscle in a relaxed state. There are many different brands of botulinum toxin but I use Botox, made by Allergan.
The main benefit of Botox injections is a reduction in wrinkles, and softening of established lines, but Botox only works on areas of movement. However, Botox can also be used in the masseter muscles to relieve jaw clenching or teeth grinding which alleviates tension and headaches, and minimises dental damage. Interestingly, Botox can also be used to stop sweating so can be injected under the armpits or into palms or soles of feet, with excellent effect.
Botox injections sting a tiny bit but I would rate it at 1-2/10 on the pain scale. In my opinion, pain should absolutely not be a barrier to botox treatment for anyone. If necessary, numbing cream can be applied beforehand.
My botox appointments are 20 minutes, but once your dose is established it might not even take that long.
