What Are Benefits of BOTOX Beyond Addressing Wrinkles?

BOTOX: from Medical Use to Cosmetic Phenomenon

Over the last decade or so, BOTOX has soared in popularity. But it was only recently that BOTOX became known primarily for its cosmetic uses.

However, once the researchers noticed the diminished wrinkles on their patients, the BOTOX treatment we know today was born!

The FDA has approved both medical and cosmetic uses for BOTOX. But since many patients know it solely as an anti-aging treatment, its other purposes may surprise you. Here are a few of the ailments it’s used to treat:

• TMJ disorder
• Cervical dystonia
• Excessive sweating
• Chronic migraines
• Urinary incontinence
• Acne management

Benefits of BOTOX

Ever wonder why BOTOX is one of the most sought-after treatments? In addition to being incredibly effective at addressing everything from fine lines to TMJ-related symptoms, it comes with several other benefits, including:

• Quick treatment
• Noninvasive and safe

Is BOTOX Right for You?

If you’re considering BOTOX, the best thing to do is to schedule an initial consultation. While treating medical issues like urinary incontinence and cervical dystonia should be a decision you make with your primary care doctor, you should speak with your dentist about creating the perfect frame for your smile and treating TMJ-related symptoms. After all, your dentist has a deep understanding of facial tissue and structure, making them uniquely qualified to administer BOTOX.

Now you know that BOTOX is so much more than just an anti-aging treatment! If you think it may be the solution you’ve been looking for, then don’t wait any longer to schedule your consultation.
