Benefits of Botox

Wrinkles - Botox is simply a muscle relaxant. Where there is an overactive muscle, Botox will relax it and break the habit of over-activity. As a result Botox is generally used in the top half of the face where our expressions can be over-pronounced. If your forehead has deep frown lines, it is probably because you are scrunching your brows together in the habit of concentration. Botox will relax this and for 3 months break the habit of frowning. During this time your forehead will smooth and you may feel more serene as the frowning subsides Headaches –muscle tension in the forehead, masseter jaw muscles, temple muscles and neck muscles can all cause tension headaces and migraines. Botox injected into these muscles can be very effective in relieving this problem. Grinding teeth –nocturnal grinding is a very common problem. Bite plates will save your teeth but will not break the habit of grinding and will not save your jaw joint (TM joint) from wearing out. Botox is very effective at breaking this habit. Underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis) - is common particularly in young stressed men and women. It is easily treated with Botox injections every 7 months. Botox has become the number 1 treatment for this in the UK ahead of cervical nerve ablation and surgery to cut out the glands. |
