More Than Just A Pretty Face: 5 Surprising Benefits Of Botox

You may think Botox simply freezes a few muscles in your face and that's the end of it, until it's time for your next injection; however, there's actually a lot more to Botox than that. Especially if you've never had this treatment and are considering injections, it's important to know these additional benefits and how they may have a positive influence on your beautiful face:

1. Botox May Stimulate Your Skin's Natural Elasticity

Your skin loses its ability to bounce back or recoil from movement over time, but injections may give some of that elasticity back. When the skin is tightened, as is the case following the introduction of Botox, its reflexes become more taught again, affording

It Helps Detoxify The Surface Of Your Skin

The importance of detoxification applies to your insides and your outsides and if you have exfoliated your face recently, you've seen what a difference removal of old, dead skin cells can make. With decreased movement (of your facial muscles), there's going to be a decrease in the amount of cellular waste and toxins on the surface of your skin, giving the Botox treatment a natural antioxidant side-effect. Those pesky toxins can degrade your skin's youthfulness, by damaging or inhibiting collagen and elastin, both of which are needed for healthy, glowing skin that bounces back.

Ask your dermatologist how often you should exfoliate and through what means, based on your use of cosmetics, pollution in your area and other variables, in order to achieve your healthiest and most attractive

Carefully discuss your options for using Botox with this dual purpose, though, as not every area on your face producing too much oil is a good site for an injection. Oil-induced acne is most commonly treated through this method on the forehead area and if that's where you need the youthful boost, you're likely going to be doubly pleased by the results.

5. Sweating Should Decrease

While sweating isn't something most people enjoy talking about, it happens to everybody. Especially if you're more prone to sweating, have been diagnosed with hyperhidrosis or you simply like to cram a workout into your lunch hour, sweating can be brutal on makeup. To worsen the situation, water or sweat-proof cosmetics often contain a nasty chemical called Prime Yellow Carnauba Wax, which can be irritating, even leading to dry-eye syndrome if you apply a lot of mascara containing the wax. Fortunately, when you use Botox, the nerve messaging system which tells your glands to sweat is slowed or shut down, meaning you're going to sweat a lot less. Less sweating should also mean you don't need to touch-up your face as often. Doctors actually
