Since its introduction into the world of cosmetic surgery in the early ’90s and its FDA approval in 2002, the demand for BOTOX® Cosmetic injections has skyrocketed. Originally, BOTOX® Cosmetic was intended to smooth out forehead lines and improve the appearance of crow’s feet. However, within the last few years, dramatic improvements have been seen from many other uses of the world’s most popular injectable.
Migraine Headaches
Migraines have long been one of the most difficult and painful things for people to experience. For many individuals, even the most powerful prescribed medicine and medical treatments have been unable to cure this condition. Now, BOTOX® is consistently being used to treat these splitting headaches and allowing people enjoy their lives migraine free.
Excessive Sweating
Sweating profusely in the palms, underarms, and even the face affects numerous individuals all around the world. Until a couple years ago, many of these people had to go through life always feeling nervous or self-conscious about their appearance. BOTOX® injections block the chemical responsible for stimulating the sweat glands, so individuals no longer have to worry about this problem hindering them in life.
Overactive Bladder
Anyone who urinates more than eight times a day may be considered to have an overactive bladder. Sudden bladder contractions can really put a damper on an individual’s daily routine and lifestyle. Many people have been able to find the solution using BOTOX® injections, which allow them to be comfortable at work and confident in social environments.
All of these uses are FDA approved and have shown positive results for treating these ailments as well as improving many people’s quality of life in the process.
