Botox as a Health Treatment – Three Main Cases

 

Cosmetic surgery treatments are mostly known because of the different degrees to which celebrities and people we know have tested them on their bodies. However, it is often forgotten that there is a branch of cosmetic surgery which can have really positive impacts on your health and overall well being and will not alter significantly the way you look.

So why not take a look at the three most useful cosmetic surgery treatments for your health? It will come handy to know they are available even at local clinics such as Cynosure Ireland if you ever have to endure one of the related conditions.

 

Migraine relief

The head area generally gives little or no reasons to go under the knife, yet there is one specific treatment that will benefit this part of your body. Plastic surgery for migraine relief can be performed with the help of botox injection around areas where the most irritated nerves are present.

Once these are singled out by the practitioner, botox is injected so that the muscles that are in more direct contact with the nerves and are the cause of migraine become much more relaxed and unresponsive. This basically eliminates the migraines for up to 4 months, so up to three treatments per year are needed for customers who suffer badly from this condition.

 

Stroke spasticity

Those who are recovering from a stroke are familiar with the unbearable feeling caused by stroke spasticity. This basically makes your limbs over-reactive, so that you easily lose control of them. Luckily however, botox can help by blocking the release of acetylcouplecholine, which tells affected muscle to contract. Since the treatment is effective for about three months, the time covered by it should be used for rehabilitation purposes so that the areas suffering from spasticity are progressively less affected even following the treatment. Unlike other remedies for stroke spasticity currently on the market, botox has no major side effects and a very rapid treatment time. Needless to say, it is likely to become the most reliable treatment in the years to come for this very unsettling condition.

 

Excessive sweating

This condition is not properly painful but can affect negatively the personal well-being and self esteem of the patient. Also called hyperhidrosis, severe underarm sweating can already be cured by a set of other treatments, which are not always effective. With botox injected near your armpits however, specialized practitioner can basically stop the transmission of the chemical that makes the body glands sweat. This results in an overall sweat reduction of 82 to 87%, making the patient’s everyday life much more bearable. As with other botox treatments, it should be remembered that this treatment has a temporary effect and will need to be repeated every three months.
