Botox not only has an effect on muscular cells but also on the sweat glands and can thus suppress sweat production.
This method is mainly used for the armpit and hand areas. The nerve ends are located under the skin and the injections are very superficial. The effect lasts for about six months.
The constant grinding of teeth results in enlarged chewing muscles (masseters). These overdeveloped chewing muscles then transfer a much larger amount of force onto teeth when they are ground at night. The result is tooth damage as well as headaches and jaw problems. In addition to this, the protruding chewing muscle is clearly visible, which is undesirable for aesthetic and cosmetic reasons and significantly changes facial shape.
By injecting botulinum toxin A into the masseter muscle, it can be significantly reduced. This greatly lessens the force teeth are subjected to and the face also regains its attractive shape. The atrophy of the muscle takes 2-4 weeks after the injection and lasts for about six months. In collaboration with Dr. Oliver Mayerhofer, I carried out test observations of the progress of 15 patients and we were able to demonstrate excellent results.
