Botox works by reducing the signal between the nerves and the muscles, causing the muscle to relax. For fine lines and wrinkles, this prevents the facial muscles from creating and deepening the creases in the skin.

It can help smooth out facial fine lines and wrinkles, treat chronic headaches and migraines, jaw clenching, jaw grinding, excessive sweating, TMJ pain, blepharospasm (uncontrollable blinking), cervical dystonias (a neurological disorder that causes severe neck and shoulder muscle contractions), overactive bladder, among other conditions. Here at Arlo Medical Injections, we treat fine lines and wrinkles, chronic headaches and migraines, jaw clenching, jaw grinding, and TMJ pain.
We use very fine needles for our injections so the pain is minimal. It may feel like a tiny mosquito bite, only without the swelling and itching.
