When most people hear the word "Botox" they immediately think about its ability to help get rid of a person's fine lines and wrinkles. However, what a lot of people haven't learned yet is about its ability to offer a variety of health benefits as well. Here are some of the various ways that someone can benefit through the use of Botox with regards to their health:
Muscle spasms – For people who suffer from muscle spasms, such as neck and/or back spasms, the spasms can be painful. In fact, in some cases, the spasms can negatively affect the person's quality of life when they come on. Botox injections can be used to treat these types of spasms.
Migraines – Many migraine sufferers have a difficult time when it comes to finding treatment options that prove to be successful with regards to the prevention of migraine onsets, as well as things that can help bring relief to migraines once they do come on. Botox injections can also be effective with regards to both of these things, making them popular with a lot of migraine sufferers.
Pain with sexual intercourse – There are some women who have painful sex caused by pelvic floor spasms. Botox can help to make sexual intercourse more comfortable
Lazy eye – People who have a lazy eye can feel self-conscious about their appearance. This can cause lazy eye sufferers to opt to stay inside more and meet new people less. Thankfully, Botox injections can help with lazy eye, making the appearance of the eye look much more like the other eye and taking away the need for the person to feel so self-conscious any longer. Botox works for this condition by affecting the muscles near the affected eye in a way that makes them work more like the muscles of the other eye.
Eye twitches – Along with helping those with lazy eye, Botox can also be successful with regards to helping someone who often has eye twitches. When Botox affects the surrounding muscles, the reaction is for the muscles to relax, so they won't continue to contract in a way that causes the eye to twitch.
Mood swings – Some people who have mood swings or who suffer from mild depression have found Botox injections to have the surprising side effect of leaving them in better moods. It is thought that this can be caused by Botox leaving those people with 'happier' expressions, which can often lead to mood improvements.
