A New You for the New Year

As I get older, I’m constantly searching for ways to maintain a youthful appearance. I faithfully apply moisturizer to my face two times each day. I also regularly utilize a portable microdermabrasion system. However, despite my efforts, I’m starting to notice some undesirable fine lines around my mouth and under my eyes. Therefore, I may need to step up my plan. I know my available options are plentiful. For example, I could choose to inject collagen into my lips, get Botox injections, or undergo a chemical peel. On this blog, you will learn about the advantages of undergoing various cosmetic procedures.

3 Surprising Reasons To Get Botox Injections

Adam Newman

Most people know that Botox injections can be used to effectively smooth out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and even to prevent new wrinkles from ever forming. While Botox is now a go-to for many people who wish to look younger than their age, it also has other helpful uses that may surprise you. Here are three of the best and most surprising reasons to get Botox injections, besides the obvious treatment for wrinkles:

Botox Can Make Migraine Headaches Go Away

One of the most surprising benefits of Botox is that it can treat migraine headaches, without the side effects of prescription medication. Botox, when placed in very specific locations around your forehead, can help block the neurotransmitters that send pain signals to your brain. The result is that your migraine headache never gets a chance to really develop, saving you from unnecessary pain and discomfort.

Botox Can Help Treat Teeth Grinding

Grinding your teeth in your sleep is a common issue that can lead to unwanted side effects. In fact, teeth grinding can damage your teeth's enamel, cause headaches or jaw aches, and even lead to increased tooth sensitivity. In addition, consistent teeth grinding over time can cause your masseter muscles to grow larger (since the grinding is essentially exercising the muscle), leading to a wider-looking face.

Botox can help prevent teeth grinding by preventing the involved muscles from moving as much. Over time, your teeth will remain undamaged and you may find that your face looks slimmer as well.

Botox Can Make Your Underarms Less Sweaty

While everyone gets sweaty after intense exercise, some people deal with excessively sweaty underarms at all times, even when they are at rest. This issue can cause embarrassment, frustration, and a loss of confidence. Luckily, Botox injections in the underarm area can actually stop this excessive sweating right in its tracks. Botox essentially blocks the hormones in your underarms from creating excess sweat.

Such a small amount of Botox is used for this procedure, that you shouldn't have any real side effects. You will still have full sensation in your underarms, for example.

Whether you want to get Botox simply for its anti-aging properties or for any of the more surprising reasons listed in this blog post, it's best to start with a consultation. Your aesthetician will evaluate your unique skincare and medical needs and help create a customized treatment plan incorporating Botox injections.
