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.
Conclusion
When seeking out Northwest plastic surgery or injectables like Botox, it is
important to see an experienced and knowledgeable provider. You may need to
see different providers depending on the Botox treatment you want.
If you are seeking cosmetic treatment, a plastic surgeon or dermatologist, as well
as sometimes certified injectors, can safely inject cosmetic Botox. Cosmetic
providers frequently can administer certain therapeutic Botox injections such as
for hyperhidrosis or migraines. Though, for more specialized treatment, you may
need to see an ophthalmologist, gynecologist, or your primary care provider.
Botox Bellevue is a versatile treatment that can address a patient’s cosmetic and
certain medical concerns. It is well studied and safe when administered by a
qualified provider.
