How much does TheraTox cost at Glow Medical Aesthetics?

The cost of TheraTox varies based on the number of units of botulinum toxin A required and the areas being treated. A targeted TMJ treatment will typically require fewer units than a comprehensive session addressing both the jaw and the trapezius muscles, for example. Because the number of units needed is determined by the size, strength, and number of muscles being treated, pricing is individualized and confirmed at your consultation. Flexible financing options are available. Our team will give you a complete, transparent quote before any treatment is scheduled so you have a clear picture of the investment involved.

How long does TheraTox pain relief last?

TheraTox results typically last 3 to 4 months per treatment session. Most patients find that maintaining a consistent treatment schedule every 3 to 4 months provides the most sustained therapeutic benefit, as the muscles are regularly prevented from returning to the overactive or hypertonic state that drives pain and tension. Some patients notice that with consistent treatment over time, the muscles relax more quickly and require slightly fewer units to achieve the same level of relief. Your provider will monitor your response and adjust your treatment plan accordingly to maximize both the comfort and the effectiveness of each session.

TheraTox uses the same injection technique as cosmetic botulinum toxin treatments and is generally well-tolerated. Most patients describe the injections as a brief pinch or mild sting at each injection point. The appointments are relatively quick — typically 30 to 45 minutes — so any discomfort is short-lived. Numbing is available on request for patients who are particularly sensitive or are having a larger area treated, such as the trapezius. Many patients find that the relief from jaw tension, migraines, or shoulder tightness that follows the treatment far outweighs the minor discomfort of the injections themselves.

Am I a good candidate for TheraTox?

TheraTox is designed for adults experiencing chronic muscle-related pain or dysfunction, including TMJ discomfort and jaw clenching, bruxism (teeth grinding), tension headaches or chronic migraines with a muscular component, and neck or shoulder tightness and pain in the trapezius. Good candidates are those who have not found adequate relief through other conservative measures and are looking for a non-surgical, clinically supported option. TheraTox is contraindicated for patients with active skin infections at the planned injection site, those with certain neuromuscular conditions, and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. A thorough consultation with your provider will help determine whether TheraTox is appropriate for your specific condition and health history.

What are the risks or side effects of TheraTox?

TheraTox has a well-established safety profile. The most common side effects are temporary and localized to the injection sites, including mild soreness, minor bruising, or redness, all of which typically resolve within a few days. A rare side effect is temporary weakness in muscles adjacent to the injection sites if the product spreads slightly beyond the intended target. This is uncommon and resolves on its own within a few weeks as the botulinum toxin effect wears off. All side effects associated with TheraTox are transient. Working with an experienced provider who is precise in their injection technique is the most effective way to minimize risk and achieve consistent therapeutic results. Our team will review the complete risk profile with you before your first session.

Refresh Your Skin and Reclaim Your Comfort with TheraTox™

If you’re experiencing jaw tension or shoulder tightness, TheraTox™ may provide the relief you need. This advanced treatment at Glow Medical Aesthetics in Tulsa, OK, combines Botox® with targeted therapeutic techniques to address pain, inflammation, and muscle dysfunction. It helps reduce tension, improve function, and support overall comfort with minimal downtime.

What Is TheraTox™?

TheraTox™ is a specialized treatment that uses Botox® to address muscle tension, inflammation, and pain-related conditions. Originally developed to support therapeutic outcomes, TheraTox™ is commonly used to help relieve jaw tension, TMJ discomfort, migraines, chronic muscle pain, and areas of restricted movement. The treatment focuses on calming trigger points within muscles to reduce inflammation and improve function. While aesthetic improvements may occur, the primary goal of TheraTox™ is pain reduction and improved quality of life.

Benefits of TheraTox™

Tension Relief

Reduces muscle tightness in the jaw, neck, and shoulders.

Sculpted Jawline

Slims and refines lower face contours without surgery.

Improved Skin Texture

Helps soften scars and visibly smooth the skin.

Facial Rejuvenation

Pain Management Support

TheraTox™ can treat various pain conditions, including TMJD, chronic migraines, tension headaches, upper neck and shoulder pain, sciatica, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, and fibromyalgia pain.

How Does TheraTox™ Work?

TheraTox™ delivers Botox® to targeted muscle trigger points associated with pain, tension, or dysfunction. By relaxing overactive muscles, the treatment helps reduce inflammation, interrupt pain signaling, and restore more balanced muscle function. This therapeutic approach can reduce discomfort and improve movement and posture in the treated areas. Because the goal is function and relief rather than cosmetic muscle freezing, results feel natural and supportive rather than restrictive.

Trap Tox for Neck & Shoulder Tension Relief

Trap Tox is a specialized injectable treatment that targets the trapezius muscles in the neck and shoulders using a neuromodulator such as Botox®. These muscles are often overworked due to stress, posture, or repetitive movement, which can lead to chronic tightness, discomfort, and a bulky shoulder appearance. By relaxing the trapezius muscles, Trap Tox may help relieve tension, reduce neck and shoulder pain, improve range of motion, and support better posture. Many patients also appreciate the added aesthetic benefit of a more streamlined shoulder contour and a longer-looking neckline. This non-surgical treatment requires little to no downtime, with results developing gradually and lasting several months.

During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, treatment goals, and the muscles contributing to your discomfort. Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan will be created to determine whether TheraTox™ is the right option for helping you achieve lasting relief and improved function.

What to Expect During TheraTox™ Treatment

Your TheraTox™ treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation at Glow Medical Aesthetics, where your provider will evaluate your symptoms, muscle activity, medical history, and treatment goals. Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan will be created to target the muscles contributing to your pain, tension, or limited mobility.

During treatment, small amounts of the neuromodulator are strategically injected into the targeted muscles using a fine needle. Most appointments take approximately 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas, and discomfort is typically minimal. Your provider will carefully map each injection site to help maximize therapeutic benefits while preserving natural muscle function.

After your appointment, you can usually return to your normal daily routine right away. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites may occur temporarily, and most patients begin noticing improvement within several days, with optimal results typically developing within about two weeks.
