Medical reasons for Botox injections for patients in San Diego

Posted By Dr. Christopher Crosby

Dr. Christopher Crosby at Coastal Skin & Eye Institute in San Diego, CA explains How Botox works

Most people have heard of Botox. It has become a household name when discussing the unwanted signs of aging. However, did you know that there are medical reasons for patients to use Botox? Botox is a medication made of botulinum toxin type A that can be used to reduce the contraction of the muscles in which it is injected. Medical conditions that can be treated with Botox include:

Cervical dystonia
Chronic headaches and migraines
Overactive bladder
Hyperhidrosis

Botox for hyperhidrosis

A medical issue that can be a source of embarrassment for many patients is hyperhidrosis. This condition causes overactive sweat glands. Patients with hyperhidrosis may constantly sweat from the underarms, even when they’re not overheated. These patients often feel embarrassed when they are sweating through their clothes. Staining is a constant problem, as well as feelings of self-consciousness. Dr. Christopher Crosby provides Botox as a solution. Botox can be injected into the sweat glands of the underarms to reduce overactivity. As a result, patients will not sweat as much and will notice a temporary improvement in their condition. To maintain the results, patients need to have periodic injections performed. However, it can give patients the freedom they’ve always wanted –the freedom to feel comfortable in their clothes and the freedom to wear all types of fabrics and colors without hesitation. Hyperhidrosis is a condition that can be treated permanently with surgery, but many patients prefer a more non-invasive option such as Botox injections instead, reducing the overall cost of treatment. Patients interested in Botox for hyperhidrosis are welcome to connect with the Coastal Skin and Eye Institute.

Actual Patient Review

The best service in my 20 year history of buying eye wear. Had to buy a pair of mid-range glasses for both music and computer use, a tough requirement. Randy provided me just the right amount of information and help to make a great choice that satisfied all my criteria, including price. I could not be happier. ~ Alex D. ~ Originally posted on
