2.For chronic pain

The journal Anesthesia and Analgesia published a study in June 2014, in which botox was injected at 114 people with muscular pain in the neck and shoulders.The result was the reduction d pain in people who received the toxin.

Traditionally, physical and anti-inflammatory therapy, such as ibuprofen, have been used in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome symptoms.However , the long-term benefits of these therapies are unpredictable and transient, which makes botox a very attractive alternative.

If you sweat too much and also have problems with your body odor, Botox is For you, as you know, sweat is generated when the little mus Asses around the sweat glands contract to expel the fluid out.Botox would paralyze these muscles, which means a decrease in sweating, as a study showed.
