Botox is known for its great results with wrinkles, but studies are showing it can do even more.
Your favorite Med Spa Beverly Hills shares the healing powers of Botox below:
Botox can be used to reduce sweating, heal and prevent migraines, help with bladder control, and even work as an anti-depressant. Patients have reported increased mood long after Botox has served its purpose. Botox works by relaxing muscles and reducing muscle activity. Botox is most popularly used to reduce wrinkles temporarily, but now it seems that Botox has longer lasting effects.
Many different things cause skin to age and appear older. Exposure to UV rays causes skin to have lines and folds. Our natural facial movements also cause wrinkles by contracting the muscles under our skin. Lately, Botox is showing to rejuvenate aging skin. Botox can reduce UV damage and alter collagen to make skin appear tighter and younger. It does not completely reverse damage and aging, but has a beneficial effect on skin’s appearance. So, after receiving Botox, your skin might continue to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on its own.
Another new use for Botox is preventing and reducing the appearance of scars. When wounds form on the face, many are concerned with the appearance of scars. After a surgery, muscles move and cause tension when forming a scar. The relaxation of muscles with Botox and increased collagen can prevent scars from thickening. If Botox is injected into the skin shortly after medical treatment, facial scarring is reduced and minimized. More research will need to be done to know if larger scars on the rest of the body can be changed with Botox.
