Botox Application

The application of botulinum toxin, commonly known as botox, is one of the most popular procedures for quickly, easily, and painlessly eliminating signs of aging.

It is crucial that this procedure is performed by a healthcare professional with advanced studies in facial aesthetics.

What is Botox and How is it Applied in Costa Rica?

Botulinum toxin is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and is considered one of the most potent poisons in the world.

In appropriate doses, it induces muscle relaxation, which has multiple aesthetic and therapeutic uses.

Botox application is not always for aesthetic purposes; in some cases, it can be therapeutic.

The toxin is administered through small injections in the areas previously selected and marked by the maxillofacial surgeon.

This procedure leaves no scars, nor does it cause inflammation or bruising if done correctly.

Anesthesia is not necessary, and the effects begin to be noticeable within 4-5 days, reaching their maximum effect in 15 days.

Therapeutic Uses of Botox in Costa Rica for Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Myofascial pain syndrome can manifest by clenching the teeth during the day or night, leading to muscle contracture.

Patients may experience acute pain during chewing, abnormal jaw mobility, and dental wear, along with headaches that can radiate to the cervical region.

Aesthetically, the face can appear square and rough.

As a therapeutic treatment, botulinum toxin induces muscle relaxation in the masseter muscles (cheeks) and temporalis muscles (head), reducing excessive contraction and pain both at rest and during chewing.
