They use it to address their fine lines and wrinkles and maintain their youthful glow. However, Botox isn't as exclusive as you think, nor is it just for wrinkles and staying young. Learn more about this globally popular treatment below.

What Does Botox Do to Your Body?

When you receive a Botox injection, also known as the botulinum toxin, it temporarily blocks the nerve chemical in your body called acetylcholine. This prevents nerve signals from reaching specific muscles, resulting in local relaxation. Over time, your nerves regenerate, and your muscle function returns as your body metabolizes the protein. This process has meant that Botox is a versatile treatment option for a range of conditions and issues beyond cosmetic purposes, such as chronic migraines, hyperhidrosis, and muscle spasms.

Katz, M.D. Clinical Professor Icahn School of Medicine at Mt Sinai Director, Juva Skin & Laser Center Past Director, Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Clinic Mt Sinai Hospital New York, N.Y. 10022 MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? What are the main findings? Response: Axillary hyperhidrosis is estimated to affect 1.4% of the U.S. population. Newer treatments such as microwave technology, botulinum toxin injections and lasers have emerged as effective methods. In this pilot study we examine the use of a non-invasive 1060nm diode laser, SculpSure, for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis. SculpSure focuses energy at the level of the sweat glands so we believed it would work for hyperhidrosis. After two SculpSure treatments, there was a long lasting resolution of hyperhidrosis.
