Botox is a product which contains a neurotoxic protein known as botulinum toxin. While it can cause great harm to the human body when in large amounts, it can do great things when induced in proper doses. There are certain medical situations where by patients feel like there is no way out. Skin conditions such as wrinkles, creases, lazy eye and also uncontrolled blinking can be corrected with the help of this product. Aside from such conditions, this product can be used for other purposes as well to ensure that the body functions better than before.

Let us see how Botox helps in some of the more common problems of the body in general.

Botox and wrinkles

As we age, some areas of the body are prone to getting wrinkles. No one looks forward to having wrinkles, but once they start showing most people learn to accept and leave with the condition. However, with this product you will make everything better with just injections. Wrinkles are often as a result contracting muscles, and Botox ensures that these muscles relax since it blocks nerve impulses. The nerve endings usually release a product known as acetylcholine, which facilitates the wrinkling process. After around four days, changes will be noticeable and the result may last up to six months.  Some of the clients who would want a perfect symmetry face opt for Rhinoplasty.

Botox and Headaches

Tension type headaches can be very annoying just as any other type of headache. When there is a persistent chronic muscle contraction that leads to discomfort, you are said to be experiencing a tension headache. Since Botox functions by blocking nerve endings and relaxing muscles, such a headache can be eased greatly. As for migraines, when nerve impulses are blocked, the release of pain neuropeptides is vastly reduced just as the feedback path, which will let you know that there is pain, is disrupted.

Botox and excessive sweating

Sweating is healthy and normal…but when you cannot control it with the help of antiperspirants, you need to get medical attention. Sweating excessively can make you uncomfortable as the body is always wet and will give an odor. Acetylcholine is the chemical responsible for communicating to the body to sweat. Botox temporarily blocks nerves in the underarms and therefore no communication is made to this chemical.

Botox and depression

You can tell that a person is depressed by simply looking at their face. When the frown lines are smoothed away, the general mood of a patient may also be improved in the process. Botox is injected in between the eyebrows where frown lines form. Here it can easily interrupt the nerve signals which tell that the body is stressed. Care should be taken so that no harm is done.

Botox can be used for more situations such as cervical dystonia, achalasia, overactive bladders and also writer’s cramp. The difference is however on the area of administration. This drug can make everything better for an individual. Without any unnecessary pains and a better looking skin, a patient may become more confident and finally perform better in life. Botox can do so much for the body.
