Derived from the neurotoxic protein produced by Clostridium botulinum, Botox has extensive applications in both cosmetic and medical fields. Despite its classification as a “toxin,” Botox is renowned for its temporary reduction of facial wrinkles and fine lines through the selective relaxation of targeted muscles, with common cosmetic applications focusing on frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles.
Beyond its cosmetic applications, Botox has proven effective in addressing various medical conditions such as chronic migraines, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating.

WHAT DOES BOTOX TREAT?
Botox is used to treat a variety of medical and cosmetic conditions. Here is a list of some of the conditions that Botox can effectively address:
Addressing Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Botox is extensively used for aesthetic purposes to minimise the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines, focusing on specific regions like the forehead, crow’s feet, and the area between the eyebrows.
Managing Chronic Migraines: Botox injections have received approval for treating chronic migraines. Administered at specific points on the head and neck, they aim to alleviate the symptoms associated with migraines.
Controlling Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating): Botox acts as a treatment for hyperhidrosis by impeding nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, leading to a reduction in excessive sweating.
Mitigating Cervical Dystonia: This neurological condition, characterised by involuntary muscle contractions in the neck and shoulders, finds relief through Botox injections. These injections prove beneficial in relaxing the affected muscles and alleviating associated pain.
Addressing Muscle Spasms and Stiffness: Botox is employed to treat conditions marked by muscle spasms, such as spasticity in the upper limbs, by temporarily inducing muscle relaxation.
