Did You Know? 3 Different Ways Botox Can Help

Botox is a powerful procedure which can help with a number of different conditions.

Botox Treats Excessive Sweating

Hyperhidrosis is the fancy medical term for excessive sweating.
According to the AAD, hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating. The word “hyperhidrosis” means too much (hyper) sweating (hidrosis).
Excessive sweating happens when a person sweats more than is necessary. Yes, it’s necessary to sweat, because sweating cools the body, which prevents us from overheating.
But, people who have hyperhidrosis, however, sweat when the body does not need cooling.
According to Byrdie, Botox injected into the sweat glands under your skin to temporarily block chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate sweat glands.
The Botox results for hyperhidrosis can last about seven to eight months.

Botox Treats Migraines

A migraine is more than just a regular headache.
According to Allergan, the manufacturer of Botox, 3.2 million Americans live with chronic migraine—a neurological condition thatamounts to much more than just frequentheadaches and migraines.
People with chronic migraine have:

  • 15 or more headache days a month
  • At least 8 headache days a monthassociated with migraine
  • Each headache lasts 4 hoursor more per day

Botox is the first and only FDA-approved preventive treatment for chronic migraine. It’salso the only treatment for people with chronic migraine that can help prevent headachesand migraines before they even start.

Botox Rejuvenates Sagging Neck and Jawline Area

Botox for the neck, also known as the Nefertiti lift, is a Botox procedure that rejuvenates the jawline and neck without surgery.
AccordingDr. Jessica J. Krant, the platysma is a sheet of muscle that comes down the entire neck under the skin. This is the muscle that is tightened up against the jawline in a plastic surgery neck lift.
Injecting Botox into specific points on the jawline produces a firmer, more defined and sharper jawline.
