Botox injections are noted primarily for the ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles.
They’re also used to treat conditions such as neck spasms (cervical dystonia), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), an overactive bladder and lazy eye. Botox injections may also help prevent chronic migraines.
BOTOX® is injected with a micro-needle into the muscle(s) or areas that your individual needs require. The most requested areas of treatment and complaint are the forehead and outer eye area. One to three injections are usually given per muscle. The company advises that patients report very little pain or discomfort associated with BOTOX®injections due the size of the micro-needle. It can sometimes feel like pressure and a stinging or burning, or sometimes you don’t feel it at all.
