Everyone knows Botox is an injectable treatment for smoothening wrinkles. But there are other treatments using Botox (off-label) that might just surprise you.
EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Excessive sweating can occur in the underarms, on the palms and the soles. Botox to resolve excessive sweating is an underrated treatment that reduces or eliminates hyperhidrosis, a common disorder of excessive sweating that causes a whole lot of unhappiness to those who suffer from it. For Botox hyperhidrosis, a diluted dose is injected superficially into multiple spots focally and goes into effect within 1 to 2 weeks, lasting an average of 6 to 8 months.
“BLOTOX”
Believe it or not, you can inject Botox into your scalp to make your blowout last longer. Imagine going to the gym for a full cardiovascular workout and coming out of the gym with your curls dry. Botox injected into the scalp decreases sweating – particularly useful for those with curly or kinky hair who want to keep their hair straight for longer.
JAW GRINDING
Botox can be used to treat jaw pain such as those in the case of bruxism or temporomandibular joint disorder. Injected directly into the masseters (chewing muscles), relief can be observed in approximately 1 or 2 weeks. For Botox jaw slimming, depending on the number of Botox units used, a jaw slimming can also be observed within 2 to 4 weeks.
