Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
Chronic migraine
TMJ

How medical Botox® can help you!
-
Our bodies contain neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that tell our bodies to react in a certain way. Botox® changes the way neurotransmitters function. By injecting Botox® into the affected area, it blocks the neurotransmitters that are activating your sweat glands. So no more uncomfortable sweating!
Medical Botox® for excessive sweating can last between 3-6 months depending on the area being treated and frequency of treatment. At External Affairs, you can get medical Botox® to help with hyperhidrosis in the following areas: underarms, hands, and feet. If you’re looking to treat other areas, we highly recommend booking a consultation with our experienced injectors!
-
When you’re experiencing a migraine, your body will release neurotransmitters, also known as chemicals that carry pain signals from your brain. When Botox® is injected into areas around your head, neck and shoulders, it works to block pain signals before they reach your nerve endings. This means less migraines! Medical Botox® to alleviate migraines typically lasts up to 3 months.
-
Those with TMJ disorders can experience teeth clenching, tense jaw muscles, headaches, and other uncomfortable symptoms. Botox® can be injected into your masseter muscle to help relax jaw muscles and relieve any pain you’re experiencing surrounding the area.Medical Botox® to alleviate TMJ symptoms generally lasts up to 3-6 months, depending on each patient’s discomfort level.

“I recently went in for my palmar hyperhydrosis treatment. I was extremely nervous for this appointment but Dr. Huynh and the nurse assisting him ensured that I was comfortable throughout the entire appointment and were very patient. Knowing that I will need to continue having this treatment done, I feel so much more at ease. I wish I could list everyone by name, but all of the staff that I interacted with were very kind and professional. I can’t say thank you enough to all of you.”
