Botox Treatments are Used for Health Purposes

May 10, 2011 - PRLog -- While many view Botox as a vanity treatment, it can also be used to treat certain health conditions.

May11th, 2011 – Botox treatments have had the reputation of being a vanity treatment for a long time. The treatment conjures up images of rich women who spend money on Botox treatments to eliminate wrinkles from their faces. However, Botox in Orange County also has the capabilities to treat certain health problems.

Botox is an injection into your face to paralyze the muscles that cause wrinkles and frown lines. It is generally considered a cosmetic procedure. However, studies have shown that Botox treatments can also be used for health conditions.

For example, an injection of Botox into the forehead or nearby areas may reduce the occurrence of chronic migraines. This has been the case in trial studies that were conducted to determine the effect of Botox on migraine sufferers. Because Botox relaxes muscles, the head and neck pain associated with migraines can be relieved.

One of the more unique methods of Botox treatment is for hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a very common condition that causes excessive sweating in any area of the body – such as armpits, feet, and palms. If topical treatments have not been working, a Botox treatment in the affected areas can reduce sweating by over 50% - and the treatment's effectiveness can last for six months or more.

Botox treatments can also be effective treatments for eye twitching and cervical dystonia. While Botox in Orange County will remain a popular cosmetic treatment, the health benefits are worth noting, particularly if you suffer any of these ailments.
