Botox
is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Botox is a drug
created from the neurotoxic protein called botulinum toxin and is
normally injected into the skin. Botox injections are commonly used
for cosmetic purposes, usualy to erase wrinkles and facial lines.
However, what most people are not aware of is that botox also has
other medical and health benefits.
One
common benefit of botox is the reduction of migraines and headaches.
Because the drug relaxes the muscle and releases tension, injections
to the forehead and neck can result in the prevention of chronic
migraines, as well as help relieve muscle and joint pain. Other
benefits include better bladder control, particularly for those with
overactive bladders, reduced sweating, and effective eye treatments
for patients with strabismus or crossed eyes and blepharospasm or
eyelid spasms. Furthermore, botox can serve as treatment for more
serious diseases such as dystonia, which is a neurological movement
disorder, and neuropathy, which refers to peripheral nervous system
damage.
The
procedure only takes a few minutes. The cosmetic effects can usually
be seen within three days to one week after the drug is injected into
the muscle, and can last up to six months. Furthermore, the procedure
doesn't require anesthesia and allows for very minimal discomfort.
Patients who wish to undergo botox treatments should consult with
trusted physicians. This is to ensure that they are properly educated
about the possible health risks of such treatments.
