As a therapeutic substance, its reach extends further. Hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) can be controlled with Botox® injections as it blocks the chemicals that turn on sweat glands.
Botox has also been proven to reduce chronic pains. Sufferers of back, joint, and foot pain as well as those who suffer from frequent migraines have all found respite through regular Botox injections.
For those with an overactive bladder, Botox can also offer a solution to an embarrassing and often socially limiting problem.
This purified protein is also used to treat movement disorders or muscle spasms such as crossed eyes (strabismus), uncontrolled blinking (blepharospasm), and cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis), which is an involuntary muscle contraction in the neck that causes abnormal posture of the neck or head as well as abnormal movement in that area.
