In addition to improving self-esteem and facial aesthetics, Botox treatments also have benefits for bodily health.
The application of botulinum toxin, better known as Botox treatment, has become the most used aesthetic procedure in Brazil. This is because most people seek beauty and self-esteem through wrinkle removal, skin rejuvenation and facial harmonization.
However, this non-surgical application also has health benefits that go beyond aesthetic beauty. Meanwhile, Botox treatment helps reduce the levels of expression lines, caused by simple actions such as chewing, speaking or smiling.
In this way, a plastic surgeon can temporarily paralyze the muscles to avoid deformations of the face. In other words, Botox softens expressions, so it is important that the professional performs a natural application, without causing the muscle to freeze or leaving an artificial appearance.
7 Botox treatments that go beyond beauty
1. Combats excessive sweating
The problem of excessive sweating in the armpits, hands, feet and forehead can be solved with Botox treatment. Basically, the application of the toxin causes the neurotransmitter to regulate the sweat glands, reducing perspiration.
2. Reduces migraine episodes
Likewise, if you suffer from migraines, Botox treatment may be the solution you have been looking for. Pain is minimized with applications in specific areas of the head, as depending on the intensity of the symptoms, the disease can be completely combated. As a result, the effects appear approximately 15 days after the procedure, lasting up to 6 months.
3. Corrects facial deformities
Botox treatment in conjunction with hyaluronic acid produces natural and long-lasting results in correcting facial deformities. Facial harmonization helps to balance a crooked or splayed nose, sagging cheeks, deep dark circles, drooping eyelids and tired eyes.
4. Minimizes the occurrence of Bruxism
If you involuntarily clench or grind your teeth, Botox treatment may minimize the symptoms of bruxism. Botulinum toxin relaxes the muscles in the jaw joint, responsible for chewing, thus preventing the patient from having contractions in the region.
5. Prevents the increase in scars
After surgery, the dermatologist may recommend Botox treatment applications to minimize scars on the skin or to prevent them from increasing.
6. Relaxation of muscles in the anal fissure
Botox treatment for anal ulcers relaxes the muscles, reducing extreme pain and bleeding, especially during bowel movements. Botulinum toxin increases blood flow in the region, facilitating the healing of the fissure.
7. Botox treatment in the scrotum
For those who have excess sweat in the scrotal region, the technique called “Scrotox” can combat this uncomfortable sweating. Furthermore, Botox treatment can give a more youthful appearance to the scrotum, making it appear larger, as well as reducing wrinkles there.
Techniques combined with Botox treatments
In general, there are procedures that work as allies in Botox treatments. Thus, these complementary techniques enhance the expected effects when applied to different areas of the body. However, they should be recommended by a plastic surgeon after some evaluations.
Furthermore, it is necessary to respect the interval between one procedure and the next.
- Hyaluronic acid: This is indicated for the treatment of facial folds and loss of muscle tone. The nasolabial fold, known as the Chinese mustache, tends to leave the face looking tired and aged. Thus, the application of the acid helps to increase lip volume and design, improving the facial contour;
- Peeling: The procedure alleviates signs of aging on the skin, such as acne, blackheads, sagging, blemishes and wrinkles. The technique is based on microdermabrasion, a controlled reaction that stimulates cell renewal, which is why it must be carried out under the recommendation of a specialist, plastic surgeon or dermatologist;
- Fractional CO2 laser: This treatment heats a region of the skin to destroy old cells and stimulate cell renewal. In this sense, the laser also helps to even out skin color, reducing open pores and treating stretch marks;
- Microneedling: Known as Percutaneous Needle Induction of Collagen (IPCA), this procedure is performed with a roller of multiple needles, this localized injury causes a healing process in the skin. The benefits range from collagen production, combating aging to treating melasma.
