Botox was first used to treat medical conditions, typically those related to neurological dysfunction such as muscle contractures, amblyopia (lazy eye), blepharospasm (excessive eye twitching), cervical dystonia, and chronic migraine. It is incredibly effective at treating these conditions, with the vast majority of patients reporting a great amount of relief. Nowadays, just hearing the word “Botox” conjures images of wrinkle reduction and smoothing out fine lines. Unlike traditional forms of skincare, which can require long, complicated regimens and a large time commitment, Botox is quick and easy to administer, often requiring only a few injections.
