What Can BOTOX Cosmetic Treat?

When you think of BOTOX® Cosmetic, its anti-aging properties probably come to mind first. However, BOTOX Cosmetic in Aventura, FL, can be used for a wide variety of aesthetic purposes. Dr. Bertha Baum of Aventura Dermatology regularly educates her patients on the many uses of BOTOX Cosmetic injections. Here are a few of them.

BOTOX cosmetic is a powerful and popular treatment that can be used to treat a vast range of imperfections. The most common targets of BOTOX Cosmetic include:

Wrinkles and fine lines: BOTOX Cosmetic injections are widely used as a nonsurgical treatment for wrinkles and fine lines. These injections work by temporarily paralyzing certain muscles in the face, which helps to smooth out your skin. It can also be administered preventatively to delay the formation of lines and wrinkles.
Enlarged jaw muscles: The muscles in your jaw are like the muscles anywhere else in your body. They grow with repeated use and shrink due to inactivity. However, because enlarged jaw muscles can make your lower face look square and bulky, many people wish to reduce their size. BOTOX Cosmetic can help.
Small lips: Dermal fillers are a good way to add volume to thin lips. Meanwhile, BOTOX Cosmetic can be used around the border of your lips to relax the muscles. Known as a BOTOX lip flip, this service can make your lips appear bigger by encouraging them to roll outwards slightly, without actually boosting their size.

Therapeutic BOTOX® injections can also be used to reduce excessive perspiration, called hyperhidrosis, particularly in the underarms. These injections block signals from your sweat glands to your muscles, which prevents you from sweating as much. Treating excessive sweating can help you feel more confident and comfortable.
