5 Uses of Botox You Probably Didn’t Know About

14 Oct

Botox is an incredible treatment for wrinkles and fine lines. This treatment is very well known for the aesthetic benefits it can provide. But did you know that Botox can serve as a medical treatment as well? Continue reading to learn about 5 different uses for Botox.

What is Botox?

Botox is a neuromodulator treatment designed to block nerve signals to muscles. This injectable treatment is formulated with small amounts of botulinum toxin type A to minimize muscle function. Blocking nerve signals to muscles can diminish wrinkles, excessive sweating, incontinence, migraines, TMJ, and neck pain.

Botox for Wrinkles

As you age, the subcutaneous fat in your body diminishes making wrinkles and fine lines more prevalent on your face and hands. When the subcutaneous fat diminishes in the face, your facial muscles are closer to the skin and there is no protective layer in between. Repetitive facial movements use these muscles repeatedly, making gradual imprints onto the skin.

Botox for Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Botox injections have been FDA-approved to treat hyperhidrosis. Excessive sweating can be treated with Botox because the injections turn off the targeted sweat glands, resulting in sweat-free treatment areas.

Botox for Incontinence

Incontinence or an overactive bladder can be treated with Botox injections into the bladder wall. Botox stops the bladder wall muscle from contracting excessively. This minimizes urinary incontinence, frequency, and urgency. It can take between three days to three weeks to begin to see the effects of this treatment.

Botox for Migraines

Migraines can be extremely frustrating to endure. Botox can treat chronic migraine through a variety of injections into the forehead, temples, head, neck, and shoulders. It can take multiple sessions before your migraines begin to diminish.

Botox for Neck Pain

Botox for neck pain, also known as TrapTox is an effective treatment to diminish aches, tightness, and overall neck discomfort. Injected into the upper trapezius muscles, this treatment blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles, effectively treating symptoms of neck pain.

I can’t say enough good things about EsthetixMD. I came in for a Madonna Eye Lift and Coolpeel combo. I felt so safe and protected entering the building. My provider, Allison was so sweet, professional and amazing. Allison prepped me on what to expect during and after. I was provided post care and given skin care options. I am absolutely delighted with the results. I’ve already booked another! Thank you EsthetixMD!

I see Dr. Covey for dermal filler and Botox. She is brilliant, she educates me all the way through the treatment, she does her best to minimize any pain, and I always look and feel terrific afterwards. The clinic is professional, and staff is very pleasant. Check in and out is easy. I would recommend the clinic to anyone who wants beautiful skin, expert treatment and loving care. Also, the range of treatments available for face and body is impressive.

Ultra Femme 360 does what it claims. Don’t be afraid to try it. Yes it is an investment but it is worth it. Allison is very professional and makes the awkwardness just go away. If you are wondering what to expect while in the room it’s similar to a well women visit only the benefits are outstanding. Instead of feeling like I need to treat myself to a nice lunch and glass of wine after going through the whole pap experience I am planning a date night.

“Love working with Nicholas! He introduced the PFD patch for laser tattoo removal which allows for multiple laser passes instead of only one pass. It’s incredible how much the new patch will speed up removing my tattoos!”
