BOTOX® Cosmetic is a well tested and proven wrinkle relaxer and can be used to fight off those pesky crow’s feet and “worry” lines. However, most people don’t realize that BOTOX® can have rejuvenating and refreshing effects on most of your body.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the longest used and most trusted wrinkle relaxer, approved for use in the United States since 2002. However, doctors and cosmetic surgeons are still discovering new ways to use BOTOX® to enhance their patients’ lives. For instance, Botox can be used to relieve chronic headaches and muscle spasms. Chronic neck and back pain are also treatable with BOTOX®, relieving you of the aches that can keep you from maximizing your full potential.
BOTOX® also can be used to treat vocal cord disorders and problems with swallowing. Some patients have been able to regain speech or eat a normal meal after years of struggling. BOTOX® treatments are also used to decrease excessive underarm sweating; no more embarrassing stains.
There are many other medical applications for BOTOX® that are currently undergoing advanced testing, but may be approved for use soon. These include relieving overactive bladder, treating an enlarged prostate, and improving limb control following a stroke.
BOTOX® also has been proven to alleviate facial spasms and eyelid twitching. BOTOX® has even been effective at correcting crossed eyes and eliminating teeth grinding. Is there anything Botox can’t do?
