From top to toe, Botox treatments in Barrington could be exactly what you need to rid yourself of difficult problems. Most people associate the popular cosmetic injection with wrinkles and crow’s feet in the face, but it can actually be used in many areas of the body to treat many problems, from migraines to plantar fasciitis.
Cosmetic Fix
Clearly, the most popular way to use the injection is to fix cosmetic problems of the face, such as wrinkles, crow’s feet, lifting the nose, uplifting the corners of the mouth, and give yourself a simple neck lift. However, new studies have shown that the injections could help in many other areas of the body.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a condition where the heel and sole of the foot are extremely painful due to inflamed connective tissues. A typical treatment plan includes steroids, but research has shown that Botox can be a highly effective treatment and may help more than simple steroids. The injections are placed in the calf muscles, which thins them out, making them put less strain on the plantar fascia.
Overactive Bladder Syndrome
Women and men with overactive bladders have many reasons to rejoice. It can be embarrassing and life-altering to live with an overactive bladder, which forces the bladder muscles to squeeze involuntarily, causing incontinence and frequent urination. However, the FDA has approved the injections, which can relax the bladder and reduce the urge to urinate so frequently.
Migraines
Migraines are a special type of headache that usually involves sensitivity to light and sound. These headaches can last anywhere from one to four days, making it debilitating and embarrassing. The injections are placed into the nerve fibers, which stops the release of the neurotransmitter that causes the spasms that leads to headaches. In some cases, a Botox treatment in Barrington was the only way to relieve the migraine headache in some patients.
Weight Loss
Everyone is always hoping for a special weight loss pill or drug that works magic. While it may not be magic, the injections can be injected into the stomach to help food move through the stomach slowly, helping you feel full longer. This isn’t a quick-fix cure-all and weight loss will be moderate, at about 20 pounds in four to six months.
A Botox treatment may do more than simply smooth wrinkles. It could be used for headaches, hair loss problems, weight loss and so many other problems. Regency Medical Spa offers these treatments for the face and may be able to help with other problems, also.
