Botox Isn’t Just for Wrinkles: 5 Surprising Uses You Might Not Know About
When most people think of Botox, they think of softening fine lines and wrinkles, and yes, that’s definitely one of its powers. But Botox is the ultimate multitasker, and at Frida, we love using it in ways that go beyond the obvious. From helping with excessive sweating to jaw pain, here are 5 unexpected ways Botox can be a total game-changer.
1. TMJ and Jaw Tension Relief
If you clench your jaw or grind your teeth (hi, stress), you might be dealing with TMJ pain. Botox can be injected into the masseter muscles to help relax them, which not only relieves tension but can slim the jawline too. Two birds, one tiny syringe.
2. Lip Flips (For That Subtle Plump)
Not quite ready for filler? A lip flip uses Botox to slightly relax the muscles above the lip, giving you a more pronounced pout without adding volume. It’s quick, subtle, and perfect before a big event (hello, Stampede).
3. Gummy Smile Correction
If your top lip pulls up high when you smile, revealing more gum than you’d like, a tiny bit of Botox can help. It relaxes the muscles that cause the lift, giving you a more balanced and confident smile.
4. Migraine Relief
This one’s for the girlies who’ve tried everything. Therapeutic Botox can help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines. It’s not just aesthetic, this treatment can be genuinely life-changing.
5. Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Yes, Botox can be used under the arms (or on hands, feet, or the scalp) to stop excessive sweating. It works by blocking the nerves that activate your sweat glands, and results can last up to 6 months.
At Frida, we’re big on giving you options, and Botox is full of them. Whether you’re curious about trying something new or finally ready to treat that thing that’s been bugging you for months, we’re here to talk it through. Our team of injectors will walk you through what’s right for you, no pressure, just knowledge.
