The Botox you’ve never known about - not just for reducing wrinkles, but also for softening elastic creases on the neck, occurring in fit people, or... for a migraine treatment!

The application of Botulin toxin, commonly known as Botox, is among the most popular aesthetic medicine procedure, very frequently chosen by Dr Parda Clinic patients. Botox is most famous for its use in anti-aging treatments. However, not everyone knows that Botox can not only be applied in aesthetic cases, but in medical ones, too. There are numerous Botox applications that can easily help the quality of people’s daily lives without being too invasive.


Softening wrinkles, anti-aging
Botox is most commonly used to remove or soften wrinkles on the face and neck, where the skin becomes thin and delicate with age, losing its original firmness. Muscles are relaxed after the injection of Botulinum toxin, thus reducing the elastic creases and gravitational folds, making the face look younger. Botox can also be used in treatments dedicated to younger patients (20+) experiencing problems with excessively dynamic expression lines on their face.


Get rid of migraine
Introduction of Botulinum toxin into the right muscles can help in treatment of tension type headaches and migraines. Migraine is characterized by a strong headache, related to oversensitivity to noise, light and certain smells, and it also involves nausea. Migraine is a difficult condition, adversely affecting the patient’s daily life and the quality of their social environment; in some cases, it may prevent normal activity, and therefore Botox treatment in migraine is recommended. Botulinum toxin is injected into selected muscle parts which push and press the nerves responsible for the condition, becoming slightly relaxed and "blocked".


Bruxism treatment
Another extraordinary use of Botox is the prevention of bruxism, which is excessive teeth grinding, which may lead to serious damage. Teeth grinding or clenching is an uncontrolled reflex, usually occurring in sleep. Botox is injected into the muscles which contribute to jaw muscle tension; this procedure will reduce the clenching strength, and the clenching or grinding tends to occur less and less frequently after every session.


What about excessive sweating?
Excessive sweating around the forehead, the whole head, the armpits or even the hands, is an unpleasant conditions, typically affecting people with extremely stressful lifestyles. Excessive sweating can be treated with pharmaceuticals, yet the application of Botulinum toxin is more effective, as it reaches the neural/muscular joints inside the sweat glands. Botox as a treatment for excessive sweating yields remarkable results and is recommended to anyone who is interested in a professional, perfect look.
