A recent study suggests that Botox may help prevent people from grinding their teeth at night. There is currently no treatment for teeth grinding and dental guards only prevent damage from grinding, not stop it. Up to 15% of people suffer from nocturnal bruxism, although many are unaware they have the condition until they visit a dentist. Out of 23 patients, 13 received Botox injections in the temple and jaw. Read more here.

Botox has been demonstrated to be safe and effective for over one hundred medical disorders associated with by involuntary muscle activity and muscle pain. Botox can be used to weaken overactive muscles, such as the neck muscles of patients with cervical dystonia. It has also been approved to treat chronic migraines, and many of the injections are in a lot of the same places that someone would be injected for cosmetic purposes. The primary benefit of Botox for the treatment of migraines is the lack of the memory-clouding effect that many oral medications come with.  Botox has also recently been approved to treat urinary incontinence in people with neurologic conditions, such as spinal cord injury. 

Spring has sprung and Cosmetic Medical Training is pleased to announce that we are adding training locations this summer in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Atlanta, Georgia, and Baltimore, Maryland. Each of these will be a combination one-day training where you will become certified to inject both Botox and dermal fillers. Need more information?
