TMJ Botox Course – Level 3
A unique, advanced Botox course that allows delegates the opportunity to offer alternative treatment options for TMJ/TMJD related issues
The Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Level 3 course is designed for experienced practitioners who already have a strong foundation in Botox treatments and are ready to advance their expertise. This masterclass focuses on the assessment and treatment of the most common TMJ-related conditions, including Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD), Bruxism (persistent teeth grinding), and chronic headaches or migraines. Delegates will refine their skills, deepen their clinical understanding, and gain the confidence to offer targeted therapeutic solutions that can significantly improve patient quality of life.
Migraine Botox training
Chronic migraines can be debilitating, affecting patients’ work, sleep and overall quality of life. This advanced module explores the therapeutic use of Botox for patients experiencing chronic headaches and migraines associated with muscular tension and TMJ-related dysfunction.
Delegates will build on their existing toxin knowledge to understand the mechanisms behind migraine presentation, appropriate patient selection, and how muscular involvement in areas such as the temporalis can contribute to symptoms. The training covers assessment protocols, treatment planning and precise injection techniques tailored to migraine-related patterns. By the end of the session, delegates will feel confident integrating migraine-focused Botox treatments into their practice as part of a comprehensive therapeutic offering.
