## Botox Beyond Wrinkles: How Women Are Using Botox for More Results
Botox is commonly known as a cosmetic treatment. It can decrease the appearance of wrinkles, or even make fine lines disappear. But Botox has other uses beyond wrinkles. It’s also a popular medical treatment. Here’s how women and men are using Botox in more ways than one.
## Botox for Chronic Migraines
Botox doesn’t just smooth away forehead wrinkles, it can also relieve migraine pain. Botox injected into the temples, and other areas around the head and on the neck, can relax the muscles that heighten chronic migraine pain. Botox for migraines can provide symptom relief within one to two weeks, and results can last between three to four months. 
## Botox for Underarm Sweating
If you experience excessive underarm sweating, Botox could be the solution you’re looking for. Botox for underarm sweating can stop excessive sweat in its tracks. Botox is injected into the armpit, and you’ll have dry armpits within two weeks. Results can last for six months or more. 
## Botox for a Lazy Eye
Botox is also an effective treatment option for a lazy eye, crossed eyes, or eye twitches. Botox injected into the eye muscles can safely change the position of the eye by relaxing the muscle that’s pulling the eye out of alignment.  You’ll see the results in one to two weeks, and the results will last up from three to four months. After several injections, the results may last longer as your eye muscle is slowly trained to stay relaxed.
## Botox for an Overactive Bladder
Botox also has FDA approval to treat overactive bladder. Botox can calm the muscles in the bladder that are easily overstimulated. When Botox is injected into your bladder muscle, you’ll have more control over your bladder, and can say goodbye to leakage or accidents. Botox for an overactive bladder can last between six to eight months.
## Botox for Jaw Pain or TMJ
Botox can be an effective treatment for jaw pain. If you grind your teeth at night or clench your jaw, Botox can help. Botox injected in the temporomandibular joint muscles will calm the overactive muscles. You’ll be able to smile, laugh, talk, chew, and swallow normally, and the Botox will prevent unconscious clenching or grinding. Results will last between three to six months. Over time, results will last longer as the overactive muscle starts to weaken. This can also give you a slimmer face as your jawline becomes less pronounced.
## Botox for Acne
Botox can also curb acne. A small dose of Botox injected into the skin can decrease oil production and soothe breakouts. Because the dose is so small, Botox for acne only lasts a few months, and you may need regular appointments to maintain the results.
