TheraTox Injections
TheraTox is a specialized treatment that uses neurotoxin, such as Botox®, to target and relieve pain-related conditions. By calming overactive nerves and muscles, it can help reduce chronic discomfort and improve mobility. This advanced approach is designed for patients seeking safe, non-surgical relief from persistent pain.

HOW THERATOX WORKS
TheraTox works by using a purified neurotoxin, such as Botox®, to calm overactive nerves and muscles that contribute to pain. When injected into targeted areas, it reduces muscle tension and disrupts the nerve signals that trigger discomfort. This helps relax tight muscles, relieve pressure on joints, and decrease inflammation in the surrounding tissues. By addressing the root cause of pain rather than just masking symptoms, TheraTox can provide lasting relief and improved mobility for patients struggling with chronic muscle or joint pain.

I just recently started getting Botox this year. I have been to other places, but I like this place the best. Everyone is super knowledgeable and all of the staff is really kind and personable. I enjoy going in to get my Botox. I definitely recommend going to Md Cote !
I see Mya for glow facials and laser hair removal. She’s so knowledgable with skincare and I always leave there relaxed after a facial! She makes me feel so comfortable and cared for with the laser hair removal! She’s an amazing cheerleader when I’m feeling nervous. Thank you Mya for being so fantastic!! 💕
Be careful when you’re planning to get a service here because their prices are always higher than other places with similar experience and products.
I have been seeing Rachel for several years now. My experience is not only pleasant, it's friendly. She really knows what she's doing and makes me as comfortable as possible. I leave feeling confident that I will be looking my best! Highly recommend!
I've had such a lovely experience with the team at MD Cote - I've seen Lyndsey and Rachel, and they're both warm, considerate, knowledgable and professional. They've both taken time to answer all my questions, and have been really gentle in their approach. They've really gone above and beyond on all things, including making my life easier with scheduling. Highly recommend!
I had my first appointment at Md Cote yesterday with Rachel after being referred to her by a couple of people, and my experience was amazing from the moment I walked in. First off, the waiting room is so cute I loved the decor! Michelle at the front desk was awesome and very helpful during both check-in and check-out. Rachel was also amazing. She took the time to sit down with me, listen, and make sure we were on the same page before starting. I was super nervous, but she made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the appointment. I’m already looking forward to coming back!
Very professional. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about treatments.
Rachel is the best! She is knowledgeable and mindful of pain management and answering all of my questions. The results were fantastic as I look like me just the best version of me.
I’ve been seeing Mya for a year now for laser hair removal and I seriously love her. She’s so skilled and I always feel safe when she is doing my laser treatments.
I am thrilled with my HALO treatment with Lyndsey! one month later, the fine lines around my mouth are significantly reduced, and my skin feels plumper. The 'Halo glow' is real Thank you so much Lyndsey!!!
I first heard about Md Cote at a luncheon where several women talked about HRT using pellets. I had heard of pellets, yet I was nervous to try them. The office was very welcoming and super cute, which is always a plus for me. I have been on HRT for just over a year and the benefits are many. One thing I would say is it took a while to find my correct dosage so if you have tried them once and didn't see the benefit, commit to a year and hopefully you will feel as thankful as I do.
I was a loyal client for years, and bought a package laser treatment in 2023 and due to health issues advised by my doctor hold off on any treatments like these which I had provided the dr letter to the spa, they did not inform me about expiration policy the staff and the esthetician even not aware of the policy. Now they are saying I can’t use my package because it had expired.My attempts to resolve the issue were ignored. This is extremely unprofessional and disappointing. I think business is struggling and they r finding ways to make money. I would strongly caution others about paying upfront here. Please avoid this spa at any cost. Multiple unhappy clients and their reviews so stay away. I am now pursuing formal complaint. ** I completely disagree with your response. It misrepresents the facts and avoids the real issue—you accepted payment and failed to deliver the services. Not stated ever about the expiration. These treatments are not cheap if clients are aware off expirations who would have this kind of money to donate it to spa like yours. I made repeated efforts to resolve this privately, which were not taken seriously. Your reply only reinforces my concern about the lack of professionalism and accountability.
I couldn't be happier with my results. Rachel does an amazing job and my results look very natural. She listens to my concerns and gives me feedback on how they can be addressed. I am so so happy with my experience at Md Cote!
common theratox faqs
Explore our frequently asked questions to learn more about Theratox, its benefits, and what to expect during treatment.
Masseter Muscles (Jaw Pain/Teeth Grinding): TheraTox can be injected into the masseter muscles (located near the jaw) to relieve tension caused by teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and TMJ disorders. This treatment helps reduce pain and can even contour the jawline for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Migraines: TheraTox is FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic migraines. By injecting the botulinum toxin into specific areas around the head and neck, TheraTox can help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines, providing relief to those who suffer from this debilitating condition.
Allergy Relief: TheraTox has been shown to offer relief for allergy symptoms by relaxing the muscles around the nasal passages and sinuses. This can reduce the discomfort caused by congestion, sneezing, and sinus pressure.
Joint Pain: TheraTox can be injected into targeted areas to relieve joint pain associated with conditions like arthritis. It helps relax the muscles surrounding the joints, reducing pain and improving mobility.
Plantar Fasciitis: For those suffering from plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain, TheraTox can be injected into the affected area to relieve tension and provide lasting relief.
TrapTox (Trapezius Muscle Pain): TheraTox can also be used to alleviate tension and pain in the trapezius muscles (upper shoulders and neck), which are often the source of chronic neck and upper back pain.
TheraTox is ideal for individuals who suffer from chronic pain, muscle tension, or conditions that impact their daily life, such as:
- Chronic migraines
- TMJ disorders (teeth grinding, jaw clenching)
- Muscle-related pain
- Joint pain from conditions like arthritis
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Neck and shoulder pain (TrapTox)
The best candidates are those who have not found relief with traditional treatments or who are looking for a non-invasive option to address their pain. TheraTox can be used on patients of all ages, provided they are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.
Most patients experience relief for 3–6 months, depending on the area treated and their individual response.
Relief is not immediate. Most patients start to notice improvement within 7–14 days, with full effects developing in 2–4 weeks.
There is little to no downtime. Most patients return to normal activities right away, with only mild soreness or redness at the injection site that resolves quickly.
