botox injections for wrinkles uses

Is botox just for cosmetic purposes or can it actually help with things like headaches? I keep seeing it mentioned in different contexts and I'm curious whether people use it for non-cosmetic reasons at a med spa setting.

Botox has actually been FDA-approved for several medical uses beyond cosmetics — chronic migraine is one of the well-known ones, and it's also used for things like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and jaw clenching (bruxism). In a cosmetic med spa setting, the focus is usually on aesthetic applications like reducing wrinkles and softening facial lines, but some locations do offer certain therapeutic uses. If you're interested in medical uses specifically, it's worth asking during the consultation whether they offer those services or can refer you.

I actually went in originally just curious about the cosmetic side and ended up having a really informative conversation about jaw clenching as well, which I hadn't expected. The staff were really knowledgeable and non-judgmental about my questions. Even if you're just considering it for wrinkles, it's worth booking a consultation and just talking through your concerns — you might find out options you hadn't considered.
