There are many Botox benefits that have been reported since its introduction in the medical and cosmetic industry. The most popular usage of Botox injections, nowadays, concentrates on the aesthetics or cosmetic treatments.
However, since the introduction of Botox as a drug for treating blepharospasm and strabismus, many studies have been done to discover other Botox benefits.
Aesthetic Botox Benefits
Eyes. Botox injections around the eyes weaken the muscles that cause crinkling and squinting of the surrounding areas. The treatment reduces wrinkles and crow's feet.
Brow Area. People who seek Botox to remove their angry or tired look would normally receive Botox injections between the eyebrows to weaken the muscles that cause the appearance of vertical lines. Some patients may also avail Botox injections as alternative means for eyebrow lift.
Forehead. Forehead wrinkles give the face an older appearance. Botox injections on the forehead area can ease out the haggard look and promotes smoother skin. Patients can enjoy a more relaxed forehead for a period of 3 to 6 months with Botox treatment.
Jaw Contouring. People with very prominent jaw lines or square jaws can benefit from Botox treatment. Botox injections can reduce the masseter muscles which result in curved jaws and cheeks. Jaw contouring takes hours of surgery, but since Botox treatment is non-invasive, it offers faster and efficient means to correct this facial flaw and patients can go back to their daily routines in no time.
Medical Botox Benefits
Blepharospasm and Strabismus. The original purpose of Botox injections was to treat blepharospasm and strabismus- these are eye conditions that involve uncontrollable twitching and misalignment, respectfully. The toxin weakens the muscles to relax the eyes for a certain period of time.
Hyperhidrosis. Excessive sweating can be treated by Botox injections. The principle of weakening the underarm muscles plus blocking the sweat glands prevent production of sweat for around 4 to 6 months.
Migraine. Botox injections on the brow area, forehead, back of the neck and sides of the head can reduce the severity and frequent migraine attacks for a maximum of 6 months. Temporary relief usually depends per individual.
Back pains and Jaw tension. Botox injections on the jaw and back can reduce the muscle tension/spasm that can cause chronic pains.
Botox benefits the body as a whole. It only depends on the focal purpose of the treatment- may it be aesthetic or medical. Botox is still being studied to see if any developments can extend beyond its current purposes.
