Get relief from TMJ pain and Jaw Tension with Botox
Jaw pain, clicking, clenching, or chronic tension can make everyday activities—from eating and speaking to simply relaxing—uncomfortable or even painful. TMJ dysfunction affects more than just your jaw; it can trigger headaches, neck stiffness, facial tightness, and interrupted sleep.
At Aesthetic Lab, we believe relief should be accessible, effective, and long-lasting. If left untreated, TMJ can worsen over time, leading to muscle overuse, joint damage, and persistent discomfort. Book your consultation today to relieve jaw tension and restore the comfort and ease your daily life deserves.
What Causes TMJ Dysfunction?
TMJ dysfunction is caused by tension or misalignment in the jaw joints and surrounding muscles. It can stem from jaw clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism), stress, arthritis, or injury. Over time, this strain leads to pain, reduced movement, and even structural changes to the jaw and face.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Dysfunction
- Jaw pain, tightness, or soreness—especially while chewing or talking
- Clicking, popping, or grinding noises when moving the jaw
- Headaches, neck pain, or facial tension
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth fully
- Tooth sensitivity or signs of wear from grinding
- Discomfort that worsens with stress or after waking
How We Treat TMJ at Aesthetic Lab
At Aesthetic Lab, we offer targeted, non-surgical treatments that reduce muscle tension, alleviate pain, and improve jaw function. Our goal is to release stress from overworked muscles and provide long-term relief using precise, minimally invasive techniques. Our treatments for TMJ include:
Botox® for Jaw Tension
Botox® is injected into the masseter and temporalis muscles to relax overactive jaw movement. This reduces clenching, softens tension, and helps prevent long-term damage to the joints and teeth.
Trigger Point Injections
For clients with deep muscle knots in the jaw, neck, or shoulders, trigger point injections relieve localized pain and restore range of motion. These injections are especially useful for tension-related TMJ symptoms.
Medical-Grade Supportive Skincare
For clients with associated facial tension or inflammation, we offer cooling or anti-inflammatory topicals to complement internal relief. These products help calm stressed skin and muscles.

FAQS
What causes TMJ pain or jaw tension?
TMJ discomfort is often caused by clenching, teeth grinding, joint misalignment, or stress. These factors place strain on the jaw muscles and joints, leading to chronic tension, pain, and difficulty with daily jaw movements like chewing or speaking.
How does Aesthetic Lab treat TMJ symptoms?
We treat TMJ using Botox® and trigger point injections to relax overactive jaw muscles. This reduces clenching, eases facial pain, and improves jaw movement while preventing long-term wear on teeth and stress on the temporomandibular joint.
Is Botox® safe for TMJ treatment?
Botox® is FDA-approved and safe for TMJ when administered by trained professionals. It offers targeted relief with minimal downtime, relaxing tense jaw muscles to reduce grinding, jaw tightness, and related discomfort caused by chronic overuse.
How long do results from TMJ treatments last?
Botox® results for TMJ typically last 3 to 4 months. Regular treatments can help sustain muscle relaxation, reduce painful flare-ups, and prevent long-term damage from grinding, clenching, or overactive jaw movement caused by stress or imbalance.
Can TMJ cause symptoms beyond jaw pain?
TMJ can also lead to headaches, ear pain, neck stiffness, and facial tension. When left untreated, these symptoms may intensify over time, interfering with sleep, focus, and overall comfort throughout the day and night.
