Botox is not just a champion aesthetics but is also improving lives in other ways.
I have just finished reading an article about it being used to help manage Parkinson’s disease and the accompanying condition of dystonia. Dystonia is a condition which causes sustained or repetitive muscle contractions which can be painful, cause abnormal positioning of the body and tremoring most associated to Parkinsons.
Botox is being used in these effected muscles to return them temporarily to their normal state and therefore stopping the contractions and pain for sufferers.
So botox is not just to relax muscles in the face and therefore wrinkles but can help with the pain in this disease.
At Zest we can also treat chronic migraine and excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis with botox so it is not always all about beauty!
