If you’re like most people, you think of Botox to relax wrinkles and achieve a more youthful appearance. But did you know that Botox can do much more than that? In fact, there are many surprising things Botox can do for you.
Here at Genesis Advanced Medical Aesthetics, we offer Botox treatments for a variety of issues. If you’re curious about the benefits of Botox, read on for six surprising things it can do!
Botox can help with migraines.
If you suffer from migraines, Botox may be able to help. Injections of Botox into the forehead, temples, and back of the head can help prevent migraines by blocking pain signals from reaching the brain. Studies have shown that Botox is an effective treatment for migraines and can even help prevent them from occurring in the first place.
Botox can help reduce excessive sweating.
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a condition that causes people to sweat excessively, even when they’re not hot or exercising. Botox injections into the underarm area can help block the release of the chemical that triggers sweating, resulting in significant reduction in sweating.
Botox can be used for cosmetic purposes.
In addition to relaxing wrinkles, Botox can also be used for cosmetic purposes such as lifting the brows, enhancing the lips, and reducing the “gummy smile.”
Neck Bands.
Neck bands, also known as necklines or necklace lines, are horizontal lines which traverse the front of the neck. Sometimes, they are more noticeable than wrinkles in the face due to the relative lack of fat in the neck area. Neck bands are generally a result of natural aging, but they can be prominent in young people who have lost a significant amount of weight.
Saggy Brows.
Ptosis is a condition in which the eyelid droops or falls. It can be mild, moderate, or severe. Ptosis can cause vision problems and make it difficult to do everyday activities, such as reading and driving. BOTOX injections can help improve ptosis by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause the drooping. BOTOX treatments typically last for three to six months. In some cases, BOTOX may be used as a long-term treatment for ptosis.
Severe neck spasms
Severe neck spasms can be extremely painful and cause a loss of mobility in the affected area. BOTOX injections are a common treatment option, as they can help to relax the muscles and reduce pain. The injections are usually given every three to six months, and the effects typically last for three to four months.
