3 Benefits of Botox You Probably Didn’t Know
Botox is hardly a secret beauty treatment these days but, interestingly, not everyone knows everything about Botox. There are actually a myriad of ways to use Botox and you may be missing out on some of these lesser-known advantages of Botox. Botox is a naturally derived bacterium that has many therapeutic advantages. It works by blocking nerve signals to muscles so that the muscles cannot contract. Below are 3 lesser-known benefits of Botox of which you might not yet heard.
1. Migraine Treatment
If you have ever suffered from a migraine, or suffer from them on a consistent basis you are probably desperate for a safe and effective treatment to ease your pain. Botox is actually FDA approved for the treatment of migraines, which Time elaborates on, “In 1992, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon named Dr. William Binder observed that when he gave people Botox for wrinkles, they reported fewer headaches. Allergan later tested the drug on people with chronic migraines, and Botox was approved for the disorder in 2010…“Right now the other medications we have are antidepressants, anti-seizure, or anti-blood pressure drugs—other medications that have also accidentally been found to help migraines.” Today people who receive Botox for migraine prevention get 31 injections in different spots on their head and neck, and the effects can last around three months.”
2. Treatment for Excessive Sweating
There are few things more embarrassing or frustrating than excessive sweating. Nobody wants to show up on a date, to an important meeting, or for work with underarm moisture rings. Unfortunately, if you suffer from excessive sweating you probably know that there simply aren’t many deodorants that are effective or safe for treating excessive sweating. Botox is FDA approved to treat excessive sweating by injecting Botox under your arms to reduce excessive sweat production!
3. Treatment of Eye Problems
While Botox cannot treat all eye problems and cannot be used to cure all types of vision issues, it can be used to treat a few different eye problems. It is even FDA approved for treating some types of eye conditions. Botox can be used for eye conditions including diplopa (blurry vision), strabismus (crossed-eyes), and blepharospasm (eyelid spasms).
