5 Surprising Uses of Botox in DC

1. Migraine Headaches

Treatment of chronic migraine headaches is one of the best therapeutic uses of Botox in DC.

Injections are administered in the head and neck in order to block activation of pain receptors, alleviate symptoms, and decrease the number of headache days per month.

Botox is recommended for women and men who have at least 15 headache days per month. It is also an excellent option for patients who have not achieved relief with other therapies.

2. Excessive Sweating

Hyperhidrosis is a common condition that manifests as excessive sweating. It commonly occurs in the underarms and can stain clothes and cause significant self-consciousness and embarrassment.

Through a series of precisely-placed injections, Botox in DC significantly decreases sweating for up to six-to-nine months.

Many women and men find this procedure to be life-changing and say that they only wish that they’d had it sooner!

3. Gummy Smile

If your upper lip disappears when you smile and displays too much gum tissue for your liking, Botox can help lower the upper lip and improve your smile.

4. Overactive Bladder

Individuals who suffer from overactive bladder feel the need to urinate more often than normal. In fact, women and men with the condition may urinate more than two times per night and more than 8 times per day.

Botox blocks nerve impulses and relaxes muscles so patients don’t feel the need to urinate as frequently.

5. Neck Spasms

When injected with an ultra-thin needle, Botox in DC can also reduce the number and frequency of neck spasms.
