Few know that Botox is not the exclusive province of cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists. Increasingly, it has evolved into a medicinal tool for certain therapies. Some of its non-cosmetic uses, which are put forward on Dr. Rachna Mehra’s website, are migraine prevention for patients who suffer intense, chronic headaches for more than four hours at a time, treatment of involuntary tics and spasms, such as those occurring in the eye area, and controlling hyperhidrosis, or profuse sweating of the armpits.

These indications complement those recommended by this website, although the latter provides an extended range of function. Botox is also employed for countering muscle stiffness, urinal incontinence, and overactive bladders.

Wariness accompanies all Botox administrations outside of aesthetic purpose. After all, Botox, or Botulinum toxin, is derived from bacteria and could easily tip toward fatal doses if medical care is remiss. When this toxin goes by its trade name, popularized by the most reliable cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists in the world, people tend to take its intrinsic properties for granted. The abovementioned indications are premised on responsible use, even if a Hollywood star just needs it for her forehead.
Dr. Rachna Mehra has extensive practice in a range of therapies, which includes cosmetic and curative administrations of Botox. This Facebook page is an easy reference for new therapies that target a variety of physical conditions and ailments.
