5 Different Uses For Botox That You May Not Know About
When you think of Botox, you no doubt think of the wrinkle-smoothing powers of this popular cosmetic treatment. While relaxing wrinkles is the original and most common reason why patients opt for Botox, there are several other uses that have made this injectable so popular among men and women alike.
Here are 5 different uses of Botox that you may not know about:
-
Botox Smooths Out Expression Lines
Botox, like Dysport and Xeomin, is a wrinkle relaxant. This means that it works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles underlying your dynamic wrinkles, such as the wrinkles:
- On your forehead
- Between your eyebrows
- At the sides of your eyes
By strategically injecting Botox into these areas, you can smooth out existing wrinkles and prevent them from etching deeper into your skin.
-
Botox Can Soften Your Jawline and Chin
As we age, we begin to lose definition in our jawline area, resulting in a more bottom-heavy face. When Botox is injected into the masseter muscle, which we use to close our mouth and chew, it weakens the muscle and makes it less pronounced.
The result? A more contoured lower face, with a more youthful chin and jawline shape.
-
Botox Can Enhance Your Lip
A Botox lip flip involves using Botox to enhance the upper lip. A few quick injections to the upper lip will allow it to relax and roll slightly upwards. This is an excellent alternative to fillers for patients who are looking for a more subtle lip enhancement.
-
Botox Smooths Neck and Chest Wrinkles
The horizontal wrinkles that show up on your neck as you age can be addressed with Botox. When it’s injected between the lines that extend all around your neck, it results in a smoother appearance.
In addition to this, the vertical decolletage wrinkles that form with age on womens’ chests can also be smoothed out with Botox injected in the pectoral muscles.
-
Botox Can Reduce Excessive Sweating
Botox has shown incredible results as a solution for patients who suffer from hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. It can be injected into any area with overactive sweat glands, such as:
- Underarms
- Palms
- Forehead
- Soles of the feet
How it works: Botox prevents your nerves from signalling to your sweat glands that they should produce sweat, thereby preventing the accumulation of sweat in the injected area.
