Botox Not Just for Wrinkles: 4 Things You Didn’t Know About Botox

botox-frownlines-300x1991As the figurative fountain of youth for many middle-aged men and women, Botox is a filler used to help reduce the appearance of fine line and wrinkles. However, this anti-aging solution isn’t just used for beauty. From helping with migraines to upper limb spasticity, Botox injections can be used to help with an array of medical issues and conditions.

 

  1. Migraines

If you suffer from debilitating migraines that leave you in bed with the lights off for the rest of the day, it might be time to consider Botox injections. Approved by the FDA, Botox for migraines is injected 31 times throughout 7 different parts of the head and neck in order to help reduce the symptoms of migraines. However, the results only last up to 3 months.

  1. Sweating

It’s not something that really anybody likes to talk about, let alone have to deal with. However, if you suffer from an excessive amount of underarm sweat and it doesn’t seem like deodorant ever fully does the trick, Botox might be the solution for you. How does it work to help target sweating? Several injections of Botox will be given in the underarm area and will help to reduce excessive sweating in just 4 weeks. However, it does not cure sweating and will have to be done every 6.7 months.

  1. ULS (Upper Limb Spasticity)

ULS is a disorder that causes your elbows, wrists, and fingers become stiff or tight. However, with Botox injections, the muscles will become increasingly relaxed, causing more comfort to the surrounding joints.

  1. 4. Overactive Bladder (OAB)

Suffering with an overactive bladder is beyond embarrassing. Frequent trips to the restroom and the constant urge to urinate, can sometimes leave you feeling frustrated and not like yourself. If you suffer from OAB, you might be the perfect candidate for Botox injection treatment. Botox for OAB treats the strong urgency to urinate right away and reduces the frequency of having to relieve your bladder.

 

Botox isn’t just a miracle worker for your face, in fact it can help with more medical related issues as well. To learn more, talk to your doctor today.
