When people hear “Botox,” they often think of wrinkle-free faces and celebrities with frozen expressions. But what many don’t know is: Botulinum toxin – better known as Botox – has found a valuable role in neurology. Originally from aesthetic medicine, it’s now used to treat conditions far beyond wrinkles.

From beauty clinic to neurology practice

Botox is a neurotoxin that – when correctly dosed – blocks the release of acetylcholine, a messenger that triggers muscle contractions. In neurology, it’s used to calm overactive muscles and block faulty nerve signals. The result: less pain, better movement, and improved quality of life.

Where Botox helps:

• Spasticity after stroke or in multiple sclerosis (MS)
  Muscle stiffness and cramps can severely limit movement. Botox relaxes the affected muscles – often with amazing results.

• Migraine relief
  Chronic migraines can be disabling. Botox injections in the head and neck area help reduce frequency and intensity – giving patients back part of their daily life.

• Movement disorders
  Conditions like cervical dystonia (painful neck spasms) or eyelid twitching can be treated effectively. Botox helps muscles relax and restores control.

• Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
  Sometimes caused by neurological issues, Botox can reduce sweat gland activity – offering great relief.

What to expect from treatment

After a detailed neurological diagnosis, we will assess if Botox is suitable for you. The injections are precise, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated. Effects start within a few days and last 3 to 6 months. Treatment can be repeated if needed.
