6 Unexpected Uses for Botox

Blepharospasm is a condition that causes involuntary spasming and blinking of the eyelids. It can be found in people of all ages, but is most commonly seen in those ages 50 to 70. This condition is caused by incorrect messages sent from the brain to the eye. Although there is no cure for blepharospasm, there are numerous treatments available. Botox can be injected into the areas to relax the facial muscles, causing the twitching and spasming to stop temporarily. Sometimes patients will need multiple doses over a period of time, so talk to your doctor about if Botox is right for you.
