Botox® injections are a simple and non-invasive way to make cosmetic changes to your appearance. There are other reasons people undergo the procedure aside from changing their looks, however. There are some little known health benefits of the procedure that can help people with chronic conditions. Learn more about some of the areas of your body that can get this treatment and how it can help you.

Where Are Good Places to Get Botox?

1. Neck

As you age, wrinkles can begin to develop on your neck. Your neck muscles are connected to some of the superficial muscles in your face. If your neck starts to droop, it can bring the skin on your face down with it. By getting Botox around your neck, you can soften the wrinkles.

Other people get the procedure for their neck due to a condition called cervical dystonia. This affliction causes your neck muscles to twist and painfully contract at random. When Botox injections relax the muscles in the neck, people with cervical dystonia can see improvement in their pain levels.

2. Forehead

One of the most prominent areas people get insecure about as they age is the forehead. To lessen the distinct appearance of wrinkles, Botox injections can rid your forehead of horizontal and vertical lines that sometimes develop between the eyebrows. In addition to the cosmetic changes, others get it for their forehead as a way to offset chronic migraines.

3. Armpit  

While you can get Botox for your arms if you want them to look less droopy, many people opt to get the treatment for their armpits.

Botox is actually an FDA-approved treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive underarm sweating. The injection blocks the production of the chemical that triggers the sweat glands. The more units of Botox injected into the armpit, the longer it will stay dry.
