For many people, Botox is just a remedy
for younger and wrinkle-free skin but ever since it’s discovery, the benefits
of Botox treatment has extended by leaps and bounds.
Want to know what are they? Well,
continue reading this blog for more information.
Botox is a remedy for the condition of excessive sweating!
It’s fascinating that the
benefits of Botox extend to treating those suffering from excessive sweating.
Botox has been proven to inhibit sweat glands and thereby stifle the production
of sweat.
The proper name for this medical
condition is Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis. Doctors began to notice that
patients who received Botox were less sweaty, and in 2004, it was approved as a
sweat reducing drug.
A treatment for Migraine
In 2010 Botox
Glendale was approved by the FDA as a treatment for those suffering
from chronic migraines.12 years before Botox’s approval, a plastic surgeon
noticed that patients who received Botox were less likely to suffer from
headaches. It was this observation that triggered further research in this area
which resulted in the medication we have today.
The treatment is as follows: 31
injections in different areas. The effects are supposed to last three months,
after this time further injections may be necessary.
Remedy for cold hands
Doctors at the Cold Hand Clinic
at the University of Chicago, administer Botox to treat patients who suffer
from extremely cold hands. The treatment requires Botox to be injected directly
into the hand. This relaxes the muscles that enclose the constricted blood
vessels.
When the vessels relax and
expand, the blood can flow through the hands and into the fingertips. This
results in warmer hands. This treatment can provide relief for up to three
months.
Neck spasms
Before Botox became popular in
the field of plastic surgery, it was used to treat neck spasms. A study
conducted in 2004 highlighted that Botox significantly reduced the pain of
those dealing with chronic neck pain as a result of cervical dystonia (CD).
Botox was injected into the necessary muscles and consequently blocked the
signals that caused painful muscle tightening.
A cure for mental-illness
Early clinical trials indicate
that Botox Glendale
CA might relieve symptoms commonly associated with depression. The
administration of Botox works on the ‘facial feedback hypothesis.’ This theory
speculates that our facial expressions influence our moods.
In 2014 a study of 74 patients
suffering from major depressive disorder showed that 52% of those who received
Botox felt the symptoms of their depression lessen. Whereas, only 15% given a
placebo claimed to have a similar response.
Further trials are being
conducted to look into this in greater detail. Hopefully, we’ll shortly see a
definitive conclusion as to whether the benefits of Botox extend to the field
of mental illness.
Abnormal heart beat
At present, research is in
progress regarding the relationship between Botox and irregular heartbeats.
They’re trying to establish whether Botox works as an effective treatment for
preventing abnormal heartbeat patterns post open-heart surgery.
So, these are some of the amazing benefits of
Botox treatment, apart from younger looking skin!
