Botox® is a neurotoxin and is most widely known for its cosmetic benefits, allowing patients a quick and safe way to enhance their appearance without cosmetic surgery. However, this injectable is not limited to aesthetics. Botox can be used to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. Here is a guide to a few of the many uses for Botox. 

Reasons to Consider Botox

1. Wrinkles & Fine Lines 

As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, and fine lines begin to appear around the forehead, in the creases of the eyes, and between the eyebrows. Botox injections from a licensed professional effectively prevent overactive muscles in the face from moving, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance. Botox can be used anywhere on the face and neck to decrease the visibility of wrinkles. This safe and effective procedure requires no downtime or cosmetic surgery. 

2. Chronic Migraines

The nausea and sensitivity to light and noise associated with chronic migraines can make this condition debilitating. Chronic migraines have the ability to last at least four hours and go so far as to consume entire days. Botox injected into specific muscles in the head and neck assuages these incapacitating symptoms and reduces the frequency of migraines. It might take months before you will need another injection.

3. Eyelid Muscle Spasms 

Frequent blinking and eyelid twitching or spasms can make it almost impossible to get through everyday tasks. A Botox injection into the eyelid can prevent these small muscles from contracting involuntarily. This treatment lasts for several months and requires routine treatment.
