Medical reasons for Botox injections for patients in San Diego
Posted By Dr. Christopher Crosby
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.Ready to discuss Botox injections with a professional provider?
