Dr. Chernoff Discusses 5 Remarkable Uses for Botox

Everyone knows that Botox is effective in minimizing facial wrinkles, and can help minimize extreme sweating. However, many people are not aware of the fact that this multi-use injection can do so much more than that. Here are five additional functions of Botox that are not well known.

1. Reducing Neck Lines
   If the neck folds are not too large, Botox can flatten them so that they do not droop. Because of the strong angle of the neck, you will appear younger. It is important that you find an experienced doctor to perform the procedure. If a doctor injects in the wrong place, you could have problems swallowing. At Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery, a qualified doctor will effectively inject Botox into this region of the body.
   
2. Shaping the Jaw line
   During this procedure, Botox is inserted into the muscle that is used to close and chew. It is amazing how just a small amount of Botox will help enhance the shape of the mouth and jaw. Some experts think that the final results from injection in this area is slight; therefore, other surgeries might be more effective if you desire a dramatic appearance in the jaw line. However, with Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery in Indianapolis, we will work with you to identify your goals and how to achieve them.
   
3. Improvement of Mood
   Studies show that Botox may improve your frame of mind and disposition. One study did determine that Botox enhanced the mental health of some people with a fair amount of depression. While it remains to be seen whether the procedure can cure depression, there is an increasing group of people that believes in its power to alleviate feelings of anxiety and sadness.
   
4. Improving Bladder Control
   Some Botox injections can be used below the waist. If you have uncomfortable involuntary bladder spasms, Botox might be useful. Urinary incontinence is effectively treated with Botox.
   
5. Relieving Anal Sphincter Spasms
   Anal sphincters are not noticed until they are not working correctly. Botox can be injected in the anal sphincter to ease spasms. It is not something that you like to think about, but it could eliminate a big problem.
