In the past, Botox has gotten a bit of a bad reputation. All it takes is a few misconceptions and misunderstandings for people to get to the widely accepted assumption that botox makes your face emotionless and like you’ve had “too much plastic”. We want to break these misconceptions and explain why we love botox, so you can love it, too!
Prevention
One of the biggest reasons that people get botox is for prevention of wrinkles. Most of the time, this is seen in the forehead. How does this work? Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles and creases. If you can’t use these muscles to furrow your brow, you won’t create wrinkles. The best wrinkles are the ones that are never made.
Treat the drooping brow
A drooping brow, or eyebrows that aren’t even, isn’t a good look. Correctly placed botox can correct both of these issues instantly. A bit of botox can go a long way to reverse your tired eyes, and make you look more energized and awake.
Migraine pain
One very common reason to get botox is to decrease migraine and chronic headache pain. Botox won’t always stop the headache pains that they experience completely, but it can severely decrease the pain and symptoms that they feel.
Stop excessive sweating
Excessive sweating, or “hyperhidrosis” is a condition where you sweat profusely, without reason. Patients who have this issue often seek out botox as a way to remedy their excessive sweating. In this case, botox can act as a shield for your sweat glands. Botox can help with sweating in armpits, feet, or hands. It is most effective when the procedure is done every few months to maintain the results.
Bells Palsy
Patients suffering from bells palsy, or any other type of facial paralysis, can benefit from botox to even out their facial features. The botox can be administered to either the paralyzed or non-paralyzed side of your face, with slightly different results on either side. This way of using botox can be a relief to individuals who have not completely healed from bells palsy, and want their face to look closer to what it looked like before the bells palsy.
