TMJ, or Temporomandibular Joint disorders, is one of the most common causes of facial pain and can cause headaches from teeth grinding, lockjaw, and persistent jaw tension. Living with such daily pain can increase levels of stress in the patient and affect their daily lives. The same is true of migraines, which can sometimes be completely debilitating for some patients. But relief is at hand, thanks to cosmetic fillers.
Cosmetic fillers can help relieve pain caused by TMJ and migraines by relaxing the facial muscles that cause the pain and discomfort.
Our skilled clinicians apply the fillers to the targeted areas and can produce almost immediate results and relief for the patient.
Relief from migraines and TMJ from this treatment can last up to six months in some patients.
You’ll be able to come back into the practice for top-up treatments to help you keep the pain away.
How does this treatment work?
Cosmetic fillers will be administered to different parts of the face via a fine needle by one of our professional practitioners. This will then relax the muscles that cause the pain, providing relief to the patient.
How long does the treatment take?
This quick and effective treatment should only take up to 30 minutes in the chair.
Is the treatment painful?
We’ll apply a numbing agent before administering the treatment so that you won’t feel a thing.
Is there any downtime?
You should be able to go back to your day as normal, but you might experience some bruising or swelling at the site of the treatment.
Where will the fillers be applied?
This will depend on your exact situation, but for the most part, the fillers will be applied to the temple, jaw muscles, and forehead when treating TMJ and migraines.
When will I notice the results?
Some patients are lucky enough to experience immediate relief. For others, it may take a few days to see and feel the difference.
