When you think about Botox, it is easy to envision just the cosmetic benefits related to it, like smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. Botox, however, is actually a very versatile treatment with medical applications that go beyond aesthetics. At Aesthetic Skin Chicago and Winnetka, our providers, personally trained by the renowned surgeon Dr. Anil Shah and physician Dr. Sameea Chughtai, not only can help you achieve your desired look but are also able to offer you medical solutions.
Botox is an FDA approved treatment that is able to treat some largely diffused conditions such as migraines due to a TMJ disorder, but also excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), muscle spasticity, and much more.
Botox for Migraines
Chronic migraines can be debilitating, affecting your quality of life. For individuals who suffer from migraines 15 or more days a month, Botox has emerged as a proven preventive treatment. Administered through a series of injections around the head and neck, Botox helps reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks by relaxing the muscles and blocking pain signals.
The treatment is usually done every 12 weeks depending on the patient’s needs and has shown to significantly decrease the number of headaches each month. Patients often start seeing improvements after the first few treatments, with continuous benefits over time.
More Than Just Migraines
In addition to migraines, Botox is effective in treating several other conditions. Conditions treatable by Botox include:
Hyperhidrosis: Botox can help control excessive sweating by blocking the nerves responsible for activating sweat glands.
Muscle Spasticity: Conditions like cerebral palsy or post-stroke spasticity can be managed with Botox, which helps relax overly contracted muscles.
Bladder Dysfunction: Botox injections can treat overactive bladder symptoms by relaxing the bladder muscles.
