Specialized Botox Treatments: TMJ, Masseter, and Underarm Sweating

TMJ and masseter Botox ease pain and tension from clenching while preserving chewing strength, with results typically lasting 3 to 4 months and many only needing it twice a year, and it can subtly slim the jaw with conservative dosing for men. Underarm Botox blocks nerve signals to sweat glands and often lasts 6 to 12 months, using a full vial per side, and it can also help severe sweating on the palms, soles, and sometimes the scalp. For these areas, technique, safety, and precision matter most.

Botox Beyond Wrinkles

Neuromodulators are best known for smoothing frown lines and crow's feet, but they are also powerful tools for functional concerns.

TMJ and Masseter Botox

TMJ and masseter Botox treatments are designed to target the large chewing muscles that can become overworked from teeth grinding or clenching. These treatments not only relieve pain and tension but can also have subtle aesthetic benefits when done carefully.

• Why it helps: The masseter is the big chewing muscle. Overuse from clenching creates pain, headaches, and even tooth wear.

• Relief: Weakening it slightly eases tension while preserving chewing strength.

• Longevity: Usually lasts 3-4 months, sometimes longer. Many only need it twice a year.

• Aesthetics: Weakening the masseter can slim the jaw. This is often desired in women, but I use a conservative dose in men who want to keep a strong jawline.

Underarm Botox for Sweating

Underarm Botox offers an effective solution for people who struggle with excessive sweating that impacts daily comfort and confidence. It works differently from cosmetic Botox by addressing the sweat glands directly.

• Why it helps: It blocks the nerve signals to the sweat glands.

• Who it helps: Anyone with excessive underarm sweating that affects clothing or confidence.

• Longevity: Often lasts far longer than facial Botox - 6 to 12 months is common.

• How it's done: I use a full vial per side to blanket the entire area.

Other Advanced Uses

Botox can also be used on the palms or soles for severe sweating. In some cases, we use it on the scalp to help manage sweating in bald patients.

Our Takeaway

For these specialized areas, correct technique matters even more than the product choice. Safety and precision are everything. When done properly, these treatments can be truly life changing.
