What are the uses of Botox?
Botox injections help relax facial muscles and are often used to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
There are medical conditions that may benefit from Botox therapy. These include:
- neuromuscular conditions that impact muscle control, such as cerebral palsy
- severe migraine headaches
- excessive sweating
- incontinence or urine leakage
- gastrointestinal tract conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome
- spasm of the eyelids
- spasms of the neck and shoulder muscles
- conditions that cause intense muscle stiffness
According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), whether Botox injections are safe during pregnancy or breast-feeding is not currently known.
