Get Firmer Boobs With Botox

For a while now Botox has been used to treat more than just crows feet, ranging from an aid to migraines to a treatment for sore feet in diabetics. But now it seems botox can even be used to give women, particularly post pregnancy women, firmer boobs.

Dubbed "breastox", injections of the toxin are put into the minor pectoralis muscles on the chest. To compensate, the back muscles take over and become stronger, resulting in the breasts being lifted - sort of like the shoulder straps of a bra being pulled tight.

The botox also helps to smooth out any lines or creases around the bust caused by sun damage, creating an all round perter more youthful appearance. It is for use on those in their 20´s and 30´s with a size A or B cup. However it does seem slightly redundant as the majority of women who tend to need an uplift are those who are more mature with larger breasts.

Anyway at £1,000 a pop it is possibly not for everyone and certainly should not be considered a replacement for breast uplift surgery which can offer longer term benefits.

Botox to Relieve Foot Pain in Diabetics

Doctors in Taiwan may have discovered another use for botox besides the wide list of cosmetic and medical complaints it is already used for. In the past diabetics who have suffered chronic foot pain due to nerve damage as a result of their illness, have been offered very little relief. Now a team at Taipei Medical University may have found a way to alleviate at least some of the discomfort.

The study comprised of 18 Type 2 diabetics who were each asked at the start to rate their level of pain between 0-10 ,with the average result coming out at 6.36. The group were then split in two and half given botulinum toxin type A injections and half given saline. A few weeks into the study 12 were crossed over so that they were receiving the opposite treatment. The intradermal botox injections were placed in 12 sites across the top of the foot.

At the end of the 12 weeks, all those patients who had received botox had an average reduction in score of 2.53 points compared to 0.53 for those who solely had the saline injections. Within 12 weeks of the injections, 44 percent of the botox patients had reduced this further to 3 points less. An additional positive side effect was that they reported being able to sleep better (possibly because they were no longer in such pain).

This treatment is still in evaluation to discover optimum dosage and other related factors.

Botox & Its' Many Uses

If you thought Botox was just to stop wrinkles, think again.

In an article on The Mirror.co.uk, Dr Miriam Stoppard revealed just how amazing this treatment derived from the one of the deadliest substance know to man is and how it is helping to transform the lives on more than just a purely aesthetic level.

In fact the list is extensive and only now is the benefits of botox really starting to come into its' own - from helping to control spasms in those with Parkinsons or stroke victims to improving symptoms of incontinence, excess sweating and relief from back pain, prostate problems and tension headaches.

Other purely cosmetic functions of botox are thought to be that it can lessen the effects of facial scarring if used during the healing process and could be a cure to hair loss. While this is still in the very early stages, the theory behind it is that botox relaxes the shrunken hair follicles which makes the blood vessels dilate and encourages nutrients to the area to help stimulate growth.
