Medical uses of Botox

Botox is mostly used as a treatment to reduce wrinkles and lines in the face. However, the uses of the drug go beyond purely cosmetic applications because they also help in the treatment of certain medical conditions. The most common of these are:

Cross-eye correction (strabismus)

This was the first medical use of Botox as injection of the drug into the eye muscles allows for greater control of eye movement, reducing the appearance of cross-eye condition.

Excessive sweating

Through muscle paralysis that produces and secretes sweat from the body, it prevents sweat glands from functioning normally and prevents sweat production. This also helps to reduce body odor.

Chronic pain

Depression

Botox uses in psychiatry are widespread. It has been detected to have a positive effect on higher levels of pout known as symptoms of depression.

Inhibition of excessive bladder activity

People with this condition, suffer from bladder secretion of urine (by pressing it) without warning. If Botox is injected into the bladder, the muscles will rest more, which can improve storage capacity. This treatment has been used in patients with spinal injuries as well.

Chronic migraines

Suffering from chronic migraines means you have severe and debilitating headaches for more than 14 days of the month. To treat this, Botox is injected into the temple, forehead and possibly neck muscles. This helps these muscles relax, and relieves the stress that can cause migraines and associated pain.

Salivation in Parkinson’s patients

Parkinson’s disease causes problems with muscle function and sometimes affects the salivary glands, which can lead to excess saliva release due to less ingestion. Botox can be given to the salivary glands to reduce saliva production.

How do Botox injections work?

Botox injections prevent excessive nerve signals and muscle contraction temporarily. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and between the eyebrows. It can also slow down the formation of new lines and wrinkles by preventing the contraction of facial muscles. It’s a very simple procedure. Does not involve incisions or general anesthesia. If the patient is concerned about pain or discomfort, local anesthesia or ice can numb the treatment area.

During the procedure, the doctor will use a thin needle to administer 3-5 botulinum-type injections where he will inject the target area between the eyebrows. The patient will usually need three injections on the side of each eye to soften the crow’s feet. The entire procedure takes about 10 minutes.

Are there any risks or side effects?

Minor bruising or discomfort may occur, but it should improve within a few days. Other side effects may include:

• swelling in the eyelid area
• Feeling tired
• Headache
• Neck pain
• Dry eyes
• Allergic reactions, such as rashes, itching or asthma symptoms

What happens after Botox?

Avoid rubbing, massage or exerting any pressure on the treated area. These procedures can cause Botox to spread to other areas of the body and can adversely affect the results of the operation. When injecting between the eyebrows, do not lie down or bend for three to four hours. Doing so may cause Botox to fall below the orbital edge, leading to drooping eyelids.

Botox therapy does not need a break after that because this procedure is very simple as those who have undergone Botox treatment can exercise their daily life normally.

It is important to understand possible improvements and realistic expectations. Noticeable results can be expected within 1-2 days after treatment. The full effect of Botox usually lasts up to four months. It can also help prevent the return of fine lines by relaxing muscles. Additional Botox injections can also be given to maintain the quality of the results.
