For many years, Botox (Botulinum Toxin) has been successfully used for cosmetic purposes (smoothing out lines and wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines), the world over. However, many people don’t realise that Botox injections are an extremely effective treatment for certain medical and muscular conditions.
What can Botox treatments manage on a medical basis?
Botox for Migraines:
Having Botox in the forehead can help to relieve and alleviate migraines if you suffer with them on a regular basis, and it can also prevent them from returning.
Lazy Eye Botox:
Caused by an imbalance of muscles around the eye, Botox can help to relax and temporarily reduce the appearance of a “lazy eye.”
Botox for Sweating:
When injected into certain muscles, you can use botox for sweating. Although it is only a temporary solution, exessive sweating is considerably reduced through the injections of botox in the armpits.
Muscle Contractions:
Botox injections can help relax muscles and temporarily reduce the effects caused by neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy.
Bladder Issues:
Issues such as an overactive bladder can sometimes be treated by Botox and temporarily reduce the side effects of such a condition.
Please note that it’s recommended you speak to your GP before agreeing to any Botox treatment for a medical condition.
How Long do Botox Injections Last?
Depending on the dosage, the effects of Botox injections can last between three and six months and may need topping up on a regular basis, depending on the condition it is treating. Your doctor will be able to advise further on this.
Do I Need It?
Before making any decisions regarding whether or not to have Botox, you should speak to a trained professional about the side effects, the pros and the cons and the risks involved. Although rare, things can go wrong and there can be adverse reactions such as infection, redness or swelling. Make sure you’ve researched the clinics in your area that provide Botox treatment and that you are happy with the process.
