The Advantage of Botox Edmonton
Andrea Arcane, is a Licensed Practical Nurse at Edmonton Dermatology, and is extremely knowledgeable about Botox and Dysport injections. One of the first things she wants patients to know, is that Botox is a medicine, made up of compounds that are found naturally within the body. The medical name is Clostridium botulinum, a Health Canada and FDA approved medication for use in this country.
What are the uses of Botox
This purified protein is injected into muscle for the sole purpose of relaxing the muscle. While Edmonton Dermatology uses Botox Edmonton for cosmetic purposes, there are dozens of other medically related uses for this important medicine. According to the Mayo Clinic, Botox is also used for neck spasms, known as cervical dystonia, and excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. Patients get Botox to prevent chronic migraines, eliminate pain from temporomandibular jaw disorders, overactive bladders and to correct lazy eyes.
Because Botox is an injectable that is used to temporarily prevent muscle movement, it’s also an effective cosmetic treatment. By preventing the muscle to have its full range of motion, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are also reduced or eliminated. Andrea says that this is one cosmetic treatment that people don’t have to worry about overdoing, because the effects of Botox are temporary, lasting approximately three to four months.
