Chronic stress and anxiety often show up in the face as tight, overworked muscles—leading to jaw pain, tension headaches, and deeper expression lines. While Botox is best known for its wrinkle-smoothing effects, it can also be used to ease muscle overactivity and bring noticeable relief. At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in New York City, Dr. Lanna customizes each treatment to address both the functional issues caused by tension and the aesthetic concerns patients want to improve.
Here’s how therapeutic use differs from cosmetic use:
- Treatment goals – Cosmetic Botox focuses on softening wrinkles and refreshing appearance, while therapeutic Botox aims to ease muscle overactivity and relieve discomfort.
- Target areas – Cosmetic injections often address the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines, while tension-related treatments may focus on the jaw (masseters), temples, or neck muscles.
- Dosage and placement – Therapeutic treatments may require slightly different dosing strategies to address function without over-relaxing essential muscles.
- Patient assessment – Dr. Lanna evaluates both facial structure and muscle behavior to design a plan that reduces tension without compromising natural expressions.
- Overall benefits – Patients may notice not only physical relief but also a softer, more relaxed appearance.
Dr. Lanna ensures that whether your goal is stress relief, cosmetic enhancement, or both, your Botox treatment delivers results that feel as good as they look.
