TMJ TREATMENT IN SANTA MONICA, CA

TMJ Treatment Services at Skinbiotic Med Spa

TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorders can cause jaw pain, muscle tension, headaches, and difficulty with jaw movement, affecting daily activities such as eating, speaking, and even sleeping. At SkinBiotic Med Spa in Santa Monica, we provide advanced, non-surgical TMJ treatments to help relieve discomfort and restore normal jaw function.

Our approach uses Botox and other injectable treatments to relax overactive jaw muscles, reducing tension, clenching, and teeth grinding associated with TMJ dysfunction. Whether you are experiencing chronic jaw pain, frequent headaches, or facial muscle tightness, our expert team offers a safe and effective solution to help you feel better and regain control of your smile.

What is TMJ Treatment?

TMJ treatment focuses on alleviating pain and tension in the temporomandibular joint and surrounding muscles, which control jaw movement. TMJ disorders (TMD) can result from factors such as stress, misalignment, teeth grinding (bruxism), or excessive jaw clenching, leading to discomfort, stiffness, and even difficulty opening or closing the mouth.

At SkinBiotic Med Spa, we specialize in using Botox and other injectables to provide relief from TMJ symptoms. By relaxing the jaw muscles, these treatments reduce muscle overactivity, decrease inflammation, and improve overall jaw function. Unlike surgical options, injectable treatments are quick, non-invasive, and require minimal downtime, making them a convenient and effective choice for TMJ pain relief.

The TMJ Treatment Process

At SkinBiotic Med Spa, we take a personalized and results-driven approach to TMJ treatment. Every patient receives customized care to ensure the best possible outcome for their symptoms.

Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation

Your treatment begins with a one-on-one consultation with our experienced providers, who will assess your symptoms, evaluate your jaw movement, and discuss your concerns. We will determine if Botox or other injectables are the right option for your TMJ pain and create a tailored treatment plan based on your specific needs.

Step 2: Injectable Treatment

Once your treatment plan is established, the Botox or injectable procedure is performed.

  • Using a fine needle, small amounts of Botox or another muscle-relaxing injectable are strategically injected into the jaw muscles that are overactive, such as the masseter muscle, which is responsible for clenching and grinding.
  • The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes and is minimally invasive, with little to no discomfort.
  • The treatment gradually reduces muscle tension, leading to less pain, improved jaw mobility, and fewer TMJ-related headaches.
Step 3: Recovery and Results

Since Botox for TMJ is a non-surgical treatment, there is no downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities right after your session.

  • Initial effects begin to appear within a few days, with full relief developing over one to two weeks.
  • The results typically last three to six months, depending on individual response and muscle activity.
  • Periodic maintenance treatments can help sustain long-term relief from TMJ discomfort.

What TMJ Treatment Helps With

TMJ disorders can cause a range of uncomfortable and disruptive symptoms. Our injectable TMJ treatments provide effective relief from:

  • Jaw Clenching – Reduces excessive muscle contractions, helping ease jaw tension and discomfort.
  • Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) – Minimizes grinding, preventing further damage to teeth and reducing associated pain.
  • Jaw Pain and Stiffness – Alleviates chronic pain in the jaw and surrounding muscles, making movement easier.
  • Tension Headaches – Helps relieve headaches caused by jaw tension and muscle strain.
  • Facial Pain and Pressure – Eases muscle tightness and discomfort, improving overall facial relaxation.

By targeting the underlying muscle activity responsible for TMJ pain and dysfunction, Botox and injectable treatments improve comfort and mobility without surgery.

What is TMJ treatment?

TMJ treatment involves non-surgical therapies like Botox injections to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve jaw function for those with TMJ disorders.

Botox works by relaxing the jaw muscles responsible for clenching and grinding, which can alleviate pain, headaches, and improve jaw mobility.

Most patients see relief after one or two treatments, but the exact number depends on the severity of your symptoms and individual needs.

The injections are minimally uncomfortable, and numbing cream can be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

Results typically last for 3-6 months, after which additional treatments may be required to maintain relief from TMJ symptoms.
