4 Amazing Benefits of Botox Injections Botox is one of the most well-known cosmetic treatments in the world. Even people who do not undergo Botox injections know that it can help reduce and smooth wrinkles. However, this neurotoxin does much more and has fourteen FDA approvals in total, and is likely to receive more in the coming years. In short, Botox has many benefits that the general public may not be aware of. The basic benefits of Botox are that it is completely non-surgical, helps prevent future wrinkles, and relaxes current dynamic wrinkles. It is also one of the most studied drugs in the world and widely considered safe for both medical and cosmetic uses. Here are four amazing benefits of Botox injections. #1: Reduce Frequency of Chronic Migraines A patient is determined to have chronic migraines if they have more than fifteen migraine headache days a month. This can be debilitating. Chronic migraine sufferers may have problems working, performing daily activities, and focuses while reading or watching TV. Administering Botox across the forehead and even around the entire head can help reduce nerve activities that cause migraines and pain. It is not a cure for migraines, but it can help reduce the number of a days someone experiences migraines. They will also likely find that the Botox Bellevue becomes even more effective with repeated treatments. Many providers will recommend using Botox in conjunction with other migraine treatments. #2: Treat Hyperhidrosis Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes localized excessive sweating. The most commonly afflicted areas are the under arms, palms, bottoms of the feet, and face. It occurs on both sides and even when in an air conditioned or cold environment. Botox injections can help reduce and even temporarily stop sweating in these areas. Botox injections for hyperhidrosis often involves fifty to one hundred individual needle pokes. However, unlike cosmetic injections, the needle is not going all the way to the muscle. It simply passes into the skin and sweat glands to prevent them from producing unnecessary sweat. #3: Reduce Appearance of Neck Bands Most known applications of Botox are on the face. However, one lesser known cosmetic benefit of Botox Kirkland, WA is that it can help treat and reduce the appearance of neck bands. Platysmal bands are two vertical bands that appear on the front of the neck as the skin thins and wrinkles form. While you can see platysmal bands at any age when making certain facial expressions, people who develop neck bands will see them beginning to become permanent fixtures. Injecting Botox into the bands can help soften their appearance. Depending on the severity of the bands, it may not completely make them go away, but over time it can help slow the progression and weaken the bands. #4: Treats Strabismus Strabismus is a condition where one eyes moves independently of the other. It may go in towards the nose or other eye, or outward. This is due dysfunctioning nerves or muscles. Botox Bellevue can help relieve this. Like with all Botox treatments, it is temporary, but it may help improve the condition with repeated treatment. However, it can only be cured if treated early enough in childhood. Therefore, in adults who never had the condition treated, Botox injections are a viable management solution. Strabismus was one of the first Botox studies and actually led to discovering its wrinkle relaxing abilities. Patients noticed that it helped their strabismus, but also helped relieve their crow’s feet or forehead lines.
