Botulinum Toxin has long been hailed a wonder-treatment for diminishing the appearance of wrinkles, regularly making waves in the media with celebrities citing this anti-wrinkle injection as the secret to their smooth skin and eternally youthful complexion.
But, did you know… that Botulinum toxin also has a whole host of other hidden benefits? In a recent interview with US Weekly, Dr. Schwarzburg explained how botulinum toxin can improve a variety of ailments and health conditions.
The list included helping those who suffer from Dystonia, eye spasms, TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction), bruxism, migraines, and excessive sweating.
“Neurotoxins affect neuromuscular junction,” said Dr. Schwarzburg. “So when you get injections, the receptors on the muscle side get clipped by neurotoxins, and the muscle doesn’t contract.”
It is this relaxation of the muscle that has been said to help reduce migraines; while there are lots of different types of headache, if you’re affected by a ‘tension headache’, which may be the result of muscles contracting and tightening, Botulinum toxin can help prevent this process and relieve painful symptoms.
Dr. Schwarzburg went on to say that multiple factors should always be considered when it comes to the effectiveness of botulinum toxin.
“If a patient has a very physically active or very stressed out lifestyle, they may need more units of neurotoxins,” he said.
It’s why we believe in a fully-rounded approach to your skincare, that supports looking after yourself on the inside as well as the outside.
