Botox is used for a wide array of purposes, but most commonly Botox is used to help patients feel younger as they age. Knowing exactly how Botox works and the many uses of Botox can be very helpful to patients interested in the treatment process.
Botox is a natural, purified protein neurotoxin that is injected into a wrinkle to remove fine lines. This wrinkle treatment is safe, fast, and effective.
Botox has benefited the lives of many patient’s in numerous ways.
Along with removing wrinkles, Botox can be used as a medical treatment. For example Botox can help combat sweat, migraines, and arthritic pain.
Sweating:
Botox has been proven to be effective in preventing excess sweat. Botox can help with sweat production by reducing stimulation of the sweat glands. Furthermore, the FDA has approved Botox as a hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) treatment.
Migraines:
Another benefit that Botox can provide to patients is migraine relief. Some patients who have used Botox and had chronic migraines experienced fewer migraines. Botox is FDA approved as a chronic migraines treatment.
Arthritic Pain:
Arthritic pain can affect patient’s lives in many ways. Recently Mayo Clinic has come out and said that Botox might be a good way to help patients with chronic arthritic pain.
