Reading time: two minutes

Neurotoxin injections—like Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin—are often associated with smoothing fine lines and creating a more youthful look. While that is certainly one of their most popular benefits, these treatments have an impressive range of therapeutic uses that go beyond cosmetics. 

At ASI Medical Spa in Issaquah, WA, our experienced providers use advanced injection techniques to help patients find relief from a variety of medical and aesthetic concerns.

Below are five surprising ways neurotoxin injections can improve your comfort, confidence, and quality of life.

1. Hyperhidrosis: Relief from Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be frustrating and disruptive. When applied to the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet, neurotoxin injections temporarily block the chemical signals that trigger sweat glands. This can dramatically reduce sweating in the treated areas for months at a time, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in social and professional settings.

2. TMJ: Easing Jaw Tension and Pain

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause jaw pain, clenching, headaches, and even tooth damage from grinding. Neurotoxin injections can relax overactive jaw muscles, reducing tension and alleviating discomfort. Many patients notice not only less pain but also improved jaw function and reduced wear on their teeth.

3. Migraines: Managing Chronic Headache Pain

For patients with chronic migraines, neurotoxin injections can be a game-changer. By targeting specific muscles in the head and neck, the injections can help prevent the activation of pain pathways that trigger migraines. Many patients experience fewer migraine days per month and a reduction in headache severity.

4. Gummy Smile: Balancing Your Smile Aesthetics

A gummy smile occurs when excess gum tissue shows above the upper teeth while smiling. Strategic neurotoxin placement can relax the upper lip muscles so they do not lift as high, creating a more balanced and harmonious smile.

5. Neck Bands: Softening Prominent Muscle Lines

Prominent vertical neck bands, caused by the platysma muscles, can make the neck appear tense or aged. Neurotoxin injections relax these muscles, smoothing the appearance of the neck and creating a softer, more youthful profile.
