Botox® Can Be Used for Aesthetic and Medical Purposes
Botox® is a purified form of on obotulinum toxin, a toxin that stems from the bacteria formed during botulism (food poisoning).
In small amounts, it can be a safe way to temporarily stop muscle contractions, as the toxin can block nerves from sending chemical signals to the brain that cause muscles to contract. Instead, when injected into the face or neck, Botox® can help muscles in those areas relax, which then reduces wrinkles and muscle spasms.
While many people might be aware of Botox® as a cosmetic treatment, it can also be used to treat other health conditions for medical purposes. Our physicians can discuss how Botox® may be used to help you during your appointment.
What Conditions Can Botox® Therapy Be Used to Treat?
The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) notes that Botox® is primarily used as a cosmetic medicine to reduce:
- Facial wrinkles, such as in the forehead, around the eyes, or the lips
- Vertical neck bands
- Symptoms of certain skin conditions, such as eczema
However, multiple studies have observed how Botox® can treat other health conditions. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Botox® as a viable treatment for the following conditions:
- Neck and other muscle spasms (cervical dystonia)
- Eye twitching and spasms (blepharospasm)
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
- Urinary incontinence (overactive bladder)
- Chronic migraines
- Lazy eye

What Are the Side Effects of Botox® Therapy?
While Botox® therapy is generally considered a safe treatment, there are still risks to watch for after getting the procedure done. Some side effects of Botox® include:
- Pain around the injection site
- Bruising, swelling, or tenderness around the injection site
- Headaches
- Issues with vision or other eye problems, such as dryness or excessive tear production
- Uneven facial features, such as a drooping eyelid, uneven eyebrows, or crooked smile
- Bleeding around the injection site
If you experience abnormal side effects or notice other serious reactions to your Botox® injections, seek medical care from your physician right away.
Your Botox® Therapy Session Can Happen the Same Day You Visit Our Facility
Botox® injections are considered minimally invasive and require little preparation beforehand for treatment to begin. In many cases, you can receive your treatment the same day as your consultation appointment.
To get an idea of what to expect during your appointment, here are some steps we take:
- A physician from our team will explain how Botox® can be used to treat your condition and discuss potential side effects that you might experience.
- The physician will then clean and prepare the area where the injections will be inserted. A topical anesthetic may be used to numb the area.
- The physician will then inject the Botox® into the area. You may require multiple injections, depending on the intent of the therapy.
- The physician will then explain aftercare steps and end your procedure.
In general, you should not touch or rub the treated area for at least 24 hours. However, you should be able to return to regular activities immediately after the procedure.
Will Insurance Cover my Botox® Therapy?
According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD), Botox® therapy may be covered (at least partially) if it is used to treat an approved health condition, though insurance policies still vary. However, it is generally not covered if you are receiving Botox® therapy for aesthetic treatment.
For people suffering from chronic migraines, the American Migraine Foundation (AMF) states that many insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover Botox® therapy as a treatment, provided that patients sought out at least two other treatment methods beforehand.
Our staff can notify you whether your insurance policy covers your treatment before you begin.
Does Your Facility Accept Uninsured Patients?
Yes. Our staff can discuss payment options for your treatment plan based on your budget and health needs.
