Botox isn’t just for wrinkles. Some medical uses of Botox can very literally change lives. Here are 12 significant medical uses for Botox that go way beyond dealing with wrinkles:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Excessive sweating. <\/strong>Botox was approved by the FDA for treating hyperhidrosis in 2004. In addition to underarm sweating, it can help with hands and feet that sweat too much as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Overactive bladder.<\/strong> In one study, 70 percent of women treated for overactive bladder reported just 3 leaks a day compared with 5 leaks a day without treatment. But care must be used because Botox can shut down the bladder more than desired, requiring the use of a catheter in some cases.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Crossed eyes. <\/strong>When eyes do not line up \u2013 a condition called strabismus that impacts about 4 percent of people \u2013 Botox treatment can weaken some muscles and allow the eyes to come into alignment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"depressed<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Depression.<\/strong> Although not approved by the FDA, some trials suggest Botox works for depression. Many medical professionals are skeptical. The idea is that facial expressions impact mood, and Botox can make negative facial expressions impossible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Abnormal heartbeat.<\/strong> When an abnormal heartbeat occurs after open-heart surgery, Botox may be able to help. But the benefit is not completely proven yet, and once again, some medical professionals are skeptical. Time will tell just home promising this development is.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. Premature ejaculation. <\/strong>When injected into the penis, Botox can relax muscles and delay ejaculation. More research is being done to make sure this really works. Allergan has patented Botox as a way of treating erectile dysfunction.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
              1. Very cold hands. <\/strong>Injections of Botox into the hands can relax muscles that cause poor circulation. Blood vessels then enlarge, allowing for more blood flow in the hands, relieving the condition. It may not sound like an important condition, but poor circulation in the extremities is bad for overall health.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                  \n
                1. Cleft lip scars for babies. <\/strong>Injecting the scar from cleft lip closure with Botox can hold the muscles still so they can heal better and without distortion. This can mean a better-looking lip for the rest of the patient’s life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                    \n
                  1. Painful sex for women. <\/strong>Women who experience pelvic floor muscle spasms or constriction of the vagina can experience pain during sex. Botox can stop muscles from contracting and ease pain. Injections are needed every 6 months to 2 years.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                      \n
                    1. Teeth grinding. <\/strong>By relaxing the jaw muscles, Botox can reduce teeth grinding and clenching as well as the pain and teeth damage that comes along with it. Dentists sometimes recommend Botox for teeth grinding because many other usual treatments don’t work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                        \n
                      1. Neck spasms. <\/strong>Botox was approved for frown lines in 2002, but approval for treating severe neck spasms came in 2000. The condition is called cervical dystonia and involves an abnormal head position, jerks, twitches and lots of pain. Botox helps.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                          \n
                        1. Facial wrinkles.<\/strong> You already know about this one, right? But wrinkles can cause emotional distress in some people, and Botox can reduce facial wrinkles, allowing a patient to feel more youthful. You can’t underestimate the impact of fewer wrinkles on a person’s emotional health.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          And that’s not all. Every day, doctors and dentists are finding new uses for time-tested and proven Botox. When used properly by a well-trained medical professional, Botox can make faces look better and also dramatically change lives by reducing or eliminating symptoms that don’t respond well to other treatments.<\/p>\n
