If you think that Botox and similar procedures are just about making you look better, you're only partly right. These types of injections freeze the muscles around the areas where they are injected, allowing for a relaxation of tightened areas. This means if you have very noticeable wrinkles around your eyes or forehead where you have lots of natural movement and expression, you can get this type of treatment done.

If you want to consider this type of cosmetic care, it's wise to know just what Botox and similar treatments can do. You know this type of service is beneficial for the face in allowing you to feel confident in your facial movements. It's beneficial potentially in other ways as well. Let your cosmetic surgeon show you the many ways that this type of cosmetic care can benefit you.

What this treatment does

While it may appear that getting Botox simply freezes the muscles to the area where it's injected, this is only partly true. What this chemical injection does is interrupt nerve signals. The nerves tell the muscles to move around and tell the body to perform other functions. This means you can get these injections to not only increase smoothness in your face or other areas of your body where you have wrinkles and imperfect skin due to exaggerated facial movements, but you can also get this injection elsewhere for other benefits.

Where you can benefit from this treatment

You can benefit from this type of treatment in many ways. Among them is the treatment for migraines. In getting this type of injection for migraines, you can help reduce the severity of your symptoms by blocking the nerves that fire off the signals for pain.

You can also get this type of injection to help you with excessive sweating. If you have hyperhydrosis, which is a condition where you sweat on the hands, face, feet, and underarms more than other people, then Botox injections in the armpit area can help block the sweating receptors and give you some relief.

No Botox or similar injection lasts permanently. You can get your injections done at a licensed cosmetic surgeon's office or at your dermatologist's office. You should disclose any allergies you have to your specialist. Your cosmetic injections will need to be repeated every several months or so to maintain your results. With the right care and treatment, you can feel and look great and in control of your body again.
