Botox for the Body

One of the most well-known aesthetic treatments is Botox – most people have heard of it and know that it can be used as an anti-wrinkle treatment. Botox is an incredibly effective anti-ageing treatments, as it can smooth away wrinkles for a period of nine months or so.

Although it was originally just injected into the wrinkles that appeared on the upper third of the face – the crow's feet and frown lines – its uses are being constantly discovered when injected into other parts of the body.

Other than the face, Botox can be injected into the neck. As we age the platysma bands across the neck start to sag and you can start to get the appearance of marked lines across the neck. Small amounts of Botox is injected into these muscles to smooth away their appearance. It is also possible to tighten the vertical muscles in the neck that pull down the jawline.

There has been some talk of Botox being used as a breast lift; by freezing certain muscles, other muscles have to work harder causing a very small lift. However, this is a very expensive procedure and for women seeking a significant breast uplift, surgery is still the best option.

The best use that has been discovered for Botox in the body is to stop excessive sweating. This condition is called hyperhidrosis and can cause much distress to the sufferer. Botox blocks the nerve endings in the sweat glands and it can be injected into the hands and feet as well as under the arms.

A Muscle Relaxing Injection Specialist or a Botox specialist needs to give these injections to any person who is undergoing the treatment.
