Botulinum neurotoxin was introduced in the late 1980s by ophthalmologists to treat disorders of muscle contraction. It was approved by the Cosmetics FDA in 2002, helping millions of patients to get rid of face wrinkles. Nowadays, botox is being used for treatments associated with eye’s muscle spasms, problems with eye coordination, excessive sweating, bruxism treatment and as anti-aging treatment for crow's feet, wrinkles between the eyebrows and for forehead wrinkles removal.
Excessive sweating is a common problem of active people. A wet hand or drops of sweat on your forehead make your personal and professional life difficult. Botulinum toxin is a method that gives a quick effect and long-lasting effectiveness, and causes a significant improvement in the quality in life of patients suffering from hyperhidrosis. Using a very thin needle, the doctor injects a small volume of botulinum toxin solution into 10-15 places, approximately 1 cm apart, evenly covering the entire treated area. When injected into the skin, the preparation blocks the action of the nerves that supply the external secretion glands. This prevents them from sweat. Blockade of nerve endings under the influence of botulinum toxin lasts for 6-12 weeks, after which new nerve endings are formed, replacing those previously blocked. This means that the treatment effect lasts for several months but eventually wears off.
Main effect: sweat secretion in the treated area decreases by approximately 87%.
Bruxism is an ailment in the field of parasomia diseases associated with sleep disorders. It manifests itself most often at night, although it can also occur during the day. Patients are usually people who are hypersensitive to stress and who have been diagnosed with increased nervous tension. Bruxism is also associated with malocclusion and increased tension or disorders in the masticatory muscles.
Main effects: muscle paralysis for up to 6 months, preventing nerve impulses from reaching the muscles and causing them to overreact.
Botox is an effective treatment used for chronic headache and various types of migraines.

It is a good option for those who do not experience improvement with other therapies.
Main effects: reduction in the intensity and frequency of migraine attacks.
