Secret Reasons Why You Might Want Botox

Posted: October 30, 2018

We all age, and we’re grateful for the opportunity. But, that doesn’t mean that we love our wrinkles. If you have some deeper-set wrinkles that drive you crazy, there’s Botox to help banish them (for a time). But, did you know that Botox is so much more than a beautifying treatment?

Though Botox has a reputation for smoothing over wrinkles, it’s truly a wonderful product that brings a lot of people a lot of good. Curious about things other than a smoother complexion? Keep reading, because Botox might just be the answer to some of your concerns.

Eye Issues

If your eyes blink or twitch too much for you to be comfortable, those muscle spasms can be tamed with Botox. Irregular and imbalanced muscles in the eye can also contribute to lazy eye or other issues positioning your eye. Who would have thought that Botox could help both of those eye issues? The muscles causing you problems can be relaxed with Botox, and thus helping remove some of the twitching or side effects from muscle issues.

Cervical Dystonia

Cervical Dystonia occurs when the muscles in the neck don’t contract properly, due to muscle hyperactivity. Your neck may then be positioned in uncomfortable ways, which can lead to pain, mobility issues, or permanent issues down the road. Botox can help relax and tame those muscles that are causing you problems, helping you with relief from pain and uncomfortable neck positions.

Excessive Sweating

One of our favorite uses of Botox is for excessive sweating, or sever primary axillary hyperhidrosis. The uncomfortable marks underneath your shirt can lead you to hide under jackets and sweaters, or even stay home altogether. Because some very attentive physicians started to notice that patients were sweating less where they had Botox injections, we now have Botox to help with excessive sweating. Botox is approved to treat sweating everywhere, so you don’t have to worry about sweaty palms anymore!

Bladder Issues

Some people have found that Botox can help with the muscles that control the bladder. When those muscles aren’t working properly, you may have an overactive or leaky bladder. Botox can help correct those muscles and allow you a better day-to-day experience.

Skin Inelasticity

Botox is more than a wrinkle-remover. Even if you aren’t looking to remove wrinkles, Botox can help your facial complexion look more tight and youthful.

We still love Botox for its wrinkle-removing capabilities, but how cool are these other uses? Call us today at (949) 721-6000 to discuss Botox and if it’s right for you.
