The Surprising & Secret Uses of Botox: Beyond Wrinkles

In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, host and consultant dermatologist Dr Emma Craythorne is joined by Dr Ellie Rashid to explore the surprising uses of Botox beyond just wrinkle treatments. Botox, or botulinum toxin, is often seen as a go-to for aesthetics, but it’s actually a game-changer for several other conditions.  As well as explaining what it is, how it’s used and whether it’s actually toxic, Emma and Ellie dive into how Botox is used to treat rosacea, excessive sweating, oily skin, flushing and Raynaud's disease. Also, how it can be used for pain relief and treating depression. They also share their personal stories and experiences working with Botox in their dermatology practices. If you’ve ever wondered about the full potential of Botox, this episode is for you. Got questions or topics you'd like us to cover?
