3 Common Uses For Botox
Many men and women have heard of Botox and wonder if it is right for them. Botox is a great medical advancement and has many uses. The injections are only temporary so you can be confident that even if you don't love the results, they are not permanent, so there really is not reason not to try it if you are interested. Here are some medical conditions that can be resolved with Botox.
1. Headaches
Headaches are a vascular problem. Many people mistakenly think that a headache is a problem with the brain. Although in a small number of cases your headache could indicate a brain condition, most likely you have a vascular problem. The veins around the skull and the muscles become agitated or the blood flow varies, causing the person to feel a great deal of pain around their head.
Botox is a toxin that can help to tighten and in relation relax the other muscles. Injected into the right place, it can help to relieve pressure and relax the area so that it no longer causes the person to feel constant headaches. This is especially true for someone who struggles with migraines.
2. Overactive Sweat Glands
Another use for Botox is to help overactive sweat glands. If you are unusually sweaty in, say, your underarms, you might be looking for deodorants and procedures to help the condition. Even if you mask the smell of the sweat, you cannot mask the look of wet shirts and clothes. This is why Botox is so great. When the Botox is injected into the area that is overly sweaty, like the underarm, it will make the muscles either tighten or loosen, depending on where it is injected, and can encourage the gland to relax. Many people have found relief for overly active sweat glands through Botox.
3. Facial Wrinkles
Perhaps the most commonly known use of Botox is for wrinkles on the face. Over the years your face will begin to show wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. These wrinkles show the age of the person and will even make a person look older than they really are.
By injecting just a small amount of Botox into the face, a dermatologist can tighten these areas and make the person appear younger. Some people even get injections before they start showing wrinkles as a preventative measure. This is also very effective.
As you can see there are many great uses for Botox.
