Medical Botox for Migraines, Bruxism & Hyperhidrosis in Miami
At LegacyMD, Botox isn't just for wrinkles—it's a powerful medical treatment that can provide life-changing relief for chronic migraines, teeth grinding (bruxism), and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Our medical-grade Botox injections are FDA-approved and administered by experienced healthcare professionals who understand the science behind therapeutic Botox.
Serving patients throughout Miami, we offer safe, effective treatments that address the root cause of these conditions, helping you live more comfortably and confidently.
What Is Medical Botox?
Medical Botox uses the same purified botulinum toxin type A used in cosmetic treatments, but it's strategically injected to target specific medical conditions. By temporarily blocking nerve signals, Botox can reduce muscle contractions, inhibit sweat gland activity, and interrupt pain pathways—providing relief that lasts for months.
Conditions We Treat with Medical Botox:
1. Chronic Migraine Headaches
How It Works:Chronic migraines are debilitating headaches that occur 15 or more days per month. Medical Botox is FDA-approved for chronic migraine prevention and works by blocking pain signals before they reach nerve endings in the head and neck.
Treatment Process:Botox is injected into 31–39 specific sites across seven key areas of the head and neck, including the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck, and shoulders. The entire procedure takes about 15 minutes.
Expected Results:Most patients experience a significant reduction in migraine frequency and intensity within 2–4 weeks. Many report fewer headache days per month and reduced reliance on pain medication.
Duration of Effectiveness:Results typically last 10–12 weeks. Treatments are repeated every 3 months for ongoing migraine management.
Benefits:
- Reduces frequency and severity of migraines
- Decreases need for pain medication
- Improves quality of life and daily function
- Non-invasive and well-tolerated
- FDA-approved for chronic migraine prevention
Ideal Candidates:
- Adults with chronic migraines (15+ headache days per month)
- Patients seeking preventative treatment rather than reactive pain relief
- Those who haven't found adequate relief from oral medications
2. Bruxism (Teeth Grinding & Jaw Clenching)
How It Works:Bruxism—chronic teeth grinding and jaw clenching—can cause jaw pain, headaches, tooth damage, and TMJ disorders. Medical Botox relaxes the masseter muscles (the large muscles used for chewing), reducing the force of clenching and grinding.
Treatment Process:Botox is injected directly into the masseter muscles on both sides of the jaw. The procedure takes just 10–15 minutes and requires no anesthesia.
Expected Results:Within 1–2 weeks, you'll notice reduced jaw tension, less morning headaches, and decreased teeth grinding—especially at night. Facial slimming may also occur as the masseter muscles relax.
Duration of Effectiveness:Results last 3–6 months. Regular treatments can help retrain jaw muscles and reduce bruxism long-term.
Benefits:
- Relieves jaw pain and tension headaches
- Protects teeth from grinding damage
- Reduces TMJ discomfort
- May slim the jawline for a more contoured appearance
- Non-surgical solution with no downtime
Ideal Candidates:
- Individuals with chronic teeth grinding or jaw clenching
- Patients with TMJ pain or dysfunction
- Those who wake up with headaches or jaw soreness
- People seeking to prevent long-term dental damage
3. Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
How It Works:Hyperhidrosis causes excessive sweating that goes beyond what's needed to regulate body temperature. Medical Botox blocks the chemical signals that activate sweat glands, dramatically reducing sweat production in treated areas.
Treatment Process:Botox is injected just beneath the skin's surface in the affected area—most commonly the underarms, but also hands, feet, or forehead. Multiple small injections are administered across the treatment zone. The procedure takes 20–30 minutes.
Expected Results:Sweating is reduced by up to 80–90% within 2–4 days after treatment. You'll experience drier, more comfortable skin throughout the day.
Duration of Effectiveness:Results typically last 4–6 months for underarms, and 6–9 months for hands and feet. Repeat treatments maintain ongoing dryness.
Benefits:
- Dramatically reduces excessive sweating
- Restores confidence in social and professional settings
- Eliminates sweat stains and odor concerns
- Non-invasive with minimal discomfort
- FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating
Ideal Candidates:
- Adults with primary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating not caused by another condition)
- Individuals for whom antiperspirants are ineffective
- Those seeking a long-term solution without surgery
- Patients affected by sweating in the underarms, hands, feet, or face
