Top 3 Health Benefits of Botox
Whether you’re looking to reduce wrinkles and frown lines or you’re searching for effective migraine prevention, look no further than Botox Cosmetic. This FDA-approved treatment not only helps reduce crow’s feet and frown lines in adults, but also has a number of medical benefits that are unknown to most patients. Botox injection takes only 10 minutes and requires little to no downtime, with many patients seeing significant results in 24 to 48 hours. The effects of Botox typically last for several months, after which the treatment may need to be repeated.
Read on to find out the top three health benefits you can gain from Botox Cosmetic treatment.
Reduces wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet
As we age, repeated muscle contractions from squinting, frowning or smiling cause our skin to furrow and fold, which turns into facial lines and crow’s feet over time. Botox injections work beneath the surface of our skin and temporarily reduce the muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet. Patients treated with Botox see a temporary reduction of wrinkles and crow’s feet, and experience overall smoother-looking skin on the face.
Corrects lazy eyes and other eye conditions
Botox has been proven to be an effective treatment for those suffering from eye conditions such as lazy eye, strabismus (crossed eyes) and blepharospasm (rapid eye blinking). Botox works by blocking the signals that are sent from the nerves to the muscles that control eye movement. By temporarily paralyzing these muscles, Botox can help to realign the eyes and improve vision. Additionally, Botox treatment helps prevent the effects of eye twitching and squinting that can be caused by muscle weakness or heightened stress levels.
Provides relief from chronic migraines
Botox is an effective treatment method to help prevent and mitigate chronic migraine symptoms. A provider injects Botox around the pain fibers that are involved in headaches. The Botox enters the nerve endings, blocking the release of pain transmission chemicals that stem from a migraine, preventing the activation of pain networks in the brain. For those who experience routine migraines and headaches, Botox is a great treatment option that is quick and easy to administer while also being highly effective.
