Botox does more than just achieve younger looking skin. There are surprising benefits that Botox is also provides. With this in mind, we at Skin & Body Refinery would like to share a few of these additional advantages of Botox.

Botox for Overactive Bladder

Approved by the FDA, Botox treats patients with an overactive bladder. Patients over the age of 18 can have Botox administered to them as a form of treatment. Keep in mind though that Botox is usually the last resort. Having a strong need to urinate, a frequent need to urinate, or leaking and wetting accidents are common symptoms and Botox helps.

Pelvic Floor Botox Injections

Botox is rumored to help sex-related concerns, though it is not yet approved by the FDA. Ladies that suffer from painful sex is one of the treatable problems, which include pelvic floor spasms or vaginal contractions. Also, Botox can benefit men that suffer from premature ejaculation. To assess if erectile dysfunction can be treated, Botox is currently part of a clinical trial as well.

Botox for Migraines

Botox was approved by the FDA as a treatment for people with chronic migraines. Plastic surgeons noticed that patients who received Botox were less likely to suffer from headaches. Generally, 31 injections in different areas are included in the treatment. The effects last up to three months, but after this time, further injections may be necessary.

Botox for Heart Rhythm Abnormalities

There is research in progress regarding the relationship of Botox and irregular heartbeats. Medical experts are attempting to establish whether Botox works as an effective treatment for preventing abnormal heartbeat patterns following post open-heart surgery.

Botox for Neck Pain & Spasms

Before it was in the plastic surgery field, Botox was used to treat neck spasms. Botox significantly reduced the pain for patients that have cervical dystonia and deal with chronic neck pain. From the Botox injected in the necessary muscles and consequently, the signals that caused painful muscle tightening are blocked.

Botox Injections in Eye Muscles

Botox is being used to treat a few eye conditions. Botox injections are commonly treating strabismus and blepharospasm and other such issues. Strabismus, often referenced as crossed eye, is a misalignment of the eyes. With the condition known as blepharospasm, the eyelids are forced closed.

Botox for Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

From those that experience excessive sweating, Botox benefits extend to treating this condition. Since Botox has been proven to inhibit sweat glands, the production of sweat is stifled. Doctors saw the benefits and it was it was approved as a sweat reducing drug with the medical condition is known as Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis.

Botox is applied directly into the hand to treat patients who suffer from extremely cold hands.
