Botox treats chronic migraines with 50-75 units and can relieve severe facial neuralgia. It also stops teeth grinding in some patients, eliminating the need for a night guard and changing facial shape as a side effect.
About 50–75 units (about twice the usual aesthetic dose).
A migraine will take a huge chunk out of somebody's day or week or life. But it takes about 50, 75 units, which is about twice the usual aesthetic dose.
I had a close personal friend who suffered from severe facial neuralgia. The nerve pain was so severe, when he would be in a shower and the cold water would hit the tip of his nose, it felt like his face was on fire. We'll try some Botox and see how you do. And it was dramatic.
Patients who grind their teeth, their faces become rectangular in shape with a Botox injection. Two things. Grinding diminishes significant. And many of them didn't have to use a night guard anymore. And other things that you accomplish, the shape of their faces changes.
