Botox And Its Many Uses

By Carrie Serienz


Botox is used for a variety of conditions and is a popular solution for excessive underarm sweating, although it is most often recognized as an aesthetic procedure. It is used to treat jaw clenching and teeth grinding. Botox has been found useful for treating a range of other aesthetic and physical complaints, but that's not to say it isn't a fabulous option for smoothing out wrinkles too. A more youthful appearance can be a result of Botox treatment, but so can sculpting of your features, easing of physical pain, and even improvement to your smile. Botox is useful for a variety of things:

Overactive Bladder

Believe it or not, Botox can assist with an inconvenient and uncomfortable medical condition. A small amount is injected into the muscles of the bladder by a doctor; this helps them relax and prevents the contraction that causes the need to urinate frequently. It is a fairly simple procedure with results that can last more than six months. People who undergo this treatment will find that overall they feel much more comfortable, and the quality of their lives has vastly improved.

Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating can end up being annoying, and an embarrassment. You might get sweats in different parts of your body. Sweating most frequently occurs in the underarms and face. Every person wants to get rid of this embarrassing problem as soon as possible. The technical term for foo much sweating is 'hyperhidrosis'. There can be other reasons, but sometimes the problem is the result of a medical condition. The results of treatment last 12 to 15 months, so for continued effects after that you must repeat the injections.

Migraines

Botox also helps relieve migraine pain. Migraine sufferers know all too well how debilitating and painful this condition can be. Botox injections can treat pain from migraines but the exact way it works is not known. It is possible that this simple technique blocks the sensory nerves that send pain signals to your brain, treating the migraine. The toxin is also thought to relax muscles, which reduce the sensitivity to the pain during a migraine. Instances of migraine have been reported to drop by half or more, by those who use Botox to treat them.

Research has demonstrated that celebrities still use Botox as their number one anti-ageing weapon. The key is to not overdo it, because the skin can look stiff and marble-like. Good doctors use Botox sparingly, to ensure natural-looking results, because they know this.

If surgery is not your thing, cosmetic, aesthetic and wellness procedures have advanced to such a degree that specialists are now able to take years off your face in just a few hours - without being invasive. The fact is that these days, there are more options than ever when it comes to looking and feeling younger.
